Cravings are normal — especially for women navigating hormonal and lifestyle changes after 40. Instead of fighting cravings, it helps to understand what your body is trying to communicate.
Balanced meals with protein and fiber can reduce cravings throughout the day. Hydration also plays a role, as thirst is often mistaken for hunger. Stress and fatigue can also trigger cravings, even when your body doesn’t need extra food.
Approaching cravings with curiosity rather than frustration helps you respond in a supportive way. Over time, this builds a healthier and more peaceful relationship with food.
