187. Why Eating Feels Harder Than It Should (and How Protein Can Help)

Have you ever noticed how some days, food just takes up way too much mental space? You're eating your meals, trying to make good choices, but your brain keeps coming back to food. You're bargaining with yourself, negotiating what you can have later, or replaying what you already ate.

For most women, when food feels loud, the instinct is to clamp down harder, add more rules, or try to white-knuckle through with willpower. But that tightening and overcorrecting doesn't work. What actually quiets things down is steadiness. And one of the most effective, underutilized ways to create that day-to-day steadiness in your nutrition is protein.

Join me this week to learn why eating feels harder than it should, and how one simple nutritional shift can create more steadiness in your eating. I'll also show you how to use protein as a support strategy instead of another rule to micromanage, and what it looks like when protein is actually working in your life.
