29: Why Skipping Meals Backfires (And What to Do Instead)

Season 1 Episode 29

You’ve been told skipping meals helps with weight loss. Less food = less weight, right?

But what if that’s actually keeping you stuck?

In this epsiode, I’m breaking down why skipping meals backfires - mentally, emotionally and biologically, and how it silently fuels food obsession, cravings and nighttime eating.

You’ll learn:

  • Why skipping meals increases stress hormones + hunger
  • How it disconnects you from your body’s natural cues
  • What to eat instead (real-life, simple strategies that work)

Plus, I’ll walk you through “nutritional anchoring” - a calm, consistent way to feel steady with food again (without tracking or restriction).
