given meal and need more
nourishment, then we’d rather
you have a snack than spend
hours being cranky, tired, and
hungry. Make sure your snacks
are just smaller meals, and
include both protein and fat—
don’t snack on veggies or fruit
alone, as they’re not very
satiating all by themselves.Finally, make your last meal the end of
your daily eating cycle. If you’ve been doing
everything right, satiety hormones should be
at their peak in the evening, which means
dinner should leave you feeling satisfied right
up until bedtime. But if you’re still in that
transition period, or your dessert habits are
firmly imprinted in your reward, pleasure, and
emotion pathways, avoid the cravings as if
your health depends on it.
