Why your 9pm sugar cravings aren’t about discipline — and what your body is really asking for

Many women I work with tell me: “I can be good all day, but by evening, it’s like I lose control.” If that sounds familiar, here’s what you need to know: this isn’t about discipline.

Those 9pm sugar cravings are signals, not flaws. Once you learn how to interpret those signals, everything changes.

Cravings = Signals, Not Weakness

Your body doesn’t make mistakes. Cravings often point to blood sugar dips, mineral imbalances, or hormone shifts. Fighting them doesn’t work — decoding them does.

The 3 Most Common Cravings — and What They Reveal

• Chocolate before your period? Often a magnesium and serotonin signal.
• Salty chips at night? Could point to mineral depletion or adrenal stress.
• Bread or pasta cravings after dinner? A sign of cortisol spikes and blood sugar imbalance.
