Why do I crave sugar every afternoon?

Three o’clock comes…

…and all you can think about is chocolate.

Or biscuits.

Or another coffee.

We’ve normalised that.

But…..

Your body isn’t asking for sugar because you’ve suddenly lost all your willpower.

It’s asking because it thinks it needs energy.

One of the commonest reasons?

Your blood sugar has gone up too high earlier in the day…

…and now it’s crashing back down.

So your brain does exactly what it’s designed to do.

“Find me something sweet. Fast.”

That’s biology.

Not weakness.

The question isn’t…

“How do I stop craving sugar?”

The better question is…

“Why did I start craving it in the first place?”

Your body is always giving you clues.

Maybe start listening to them.

Question more. Blame yourself less. Understand your biology.

It’s something I’ve noticed myself, and loads of other people say the same.

You’re away on holiday. Somewhere warm. You’re on the beach…

…and suddenly you’re not thinking about food all the time.

Unless, of course, your sunbed is right next to the all-day buffet!

There’s a little-known molecule in the brain called POMC.

Most people have never heard of it.

Yet it plays a big role in regulating appetite, energy balance and metabolism.

Here’s the interesting bit…

POMC is influenced by signals from your environment, including light—not just by what you eat.

More natural light.

More time outdoors.

Less artificial light late at night.

Could that be one of the reasons so many people naturally feel less hungry on holiday?

I’m not saying that’s the whole explanation.

But I do think it’s worth asking the question.

Because maybe hunger isn’t just about willpower.

Maybe it’s biology.

What if the thing your body needs most is free?

We’re forever being told the answer is another supplement, another powder or another pill.

But what if we’ve overlooked something much simpler?

Morning daylight.

It sounds almost too simple, but the research is actually pretty good. Getting outside soon after you wake up helps set your body clock. That affects when you feel sleepy, when you feel awake, your hormones, your appetite, your mood… even your metabolism.

Yet most of us wake up, put the lights on, look at our phones and head off to work without seeing proper daylight.

I’m not saying morning light is going to fix every health problem.

But I do think we’ve massively underestimated how important it is.

Sometimes I wonder if we’re looking for complicated answers when nature has been giving us one for free all along. ☀️☀️☀️

Question more. Blame yourself less. Understand your biology.

“I’m tired all the time.”

I hear this every day

You’re over 40.
You’re busy.
You’re getting older.

So you’re just supposed to feel like crap every day?

Since when did exhaustion become something we have to shrug off?

Since when did needing caffeine just to function become acceptable?

Since when did waking up already depleted become your baseline?

I’ve watched people settle for this because they’ve been told it’s “normal.”

But let’s be honest—it’s not normal.

Your body isn’t whispering—it’s waving red flags.

Poor sleep
Chronic stress
Blood sugar chaos
Insulin resistance
Mismatched circadian rhythm

Maybe it’s time to stop accepting it and start questioning it.

Because feeling tired has a root cause.
And finding that root cause isn’t as hard as you might think.

Back in the 1980s we were told to cut the fat.

Low-fat yoghurts.�Low-fat spreads.�Low-fat everything!

Fat became the villain.

At the same time, we were encouraged to base our meals around starchy carbohydrates.

Bread.
Cereals.
Rice.
Pasta.
Potatoes.

That’s been the message for decades.

What if this advice was wrong?

We’re heavier.
Sicker.
Taking more medication.

What if we’ve spent the last 40 years taking part in one big dietary experiment?

And what if that experiment has failed?

Because from where I’m standing, something doesn’t add up.

Maybe it’s time we stopped blaming ourselves and started questioning the advice.

your body isn’t broken

Somewhere along the way, many of us started believing our bodies were the problem.

We blame ourselves for being tired.

We blame ourselves for cravings.

We blame ourselves when our mood isn’t great.

We blame ourselves when we don’t feel like ourselves anymore.

But what if your body isn’t working against you?

What if it’s responding exactly as it was designed to?

poor sleep.

stress.

artificial light.

ultra-processed food.

a lifestyle that’s become disconnected from the biology we evolved with.

Your body isn’t broken.

It might just be asking for something different.

I hear this all the time.

“I thought it was just my age.”

Sometimes it is.

But often there’s a lot more going on beneath the surface.

Circadian biology.

Diet.

Sleep.

Artificial light.

Stress.

Take your pick.

Red meat isn’t the problem.

It’s complete protein, essential nutrients, and fuel for your body.

The real question is—why are we being told to avoid it, while processed foods are everywhere?

Eat in a way that supports your biology. 💪
