Episode 3595:

Danielle Omar explains three everyday reasons sugar cravings take hold: low-fiber carbs eaten without protein or fat, letting yourself get overly hungry on busy days, and short sleep.

Quotes to ponder:

"Remember: produce and protein snacks are the most filling."

"Planned snacks (especially in the afternoon) that keep you one step ahead of your hunger are key to beating sugar cravings."
