Hold onto your goldfish crackers, people! I've just had the kind of revelation that hits harder than your 3 PM energy crash. We're talking about the great American snacking epidemic and how your innocent "just one bite" habit is basically sabotaging your weight loss goals like a tiny, delicious snack-demon. Your body's fuel system is way more complicated than you think, and that handful of pretzels? Yeah, it's messing with EVERYTHING.In this episode, I'm sharing my "a-ha" moment about how constant snacking prevents us from accessing our fat reserves for fuel. Instead, we're constantly burning the most easily accessible energy due to our snacking habits, which are most likely mindless! The bottom line: Conscious snacking over perfection, always.
