Why 4pm cravings = belly fat

Oct 10, 2025

It’s 4 PM.

Your energy drops, your focus fades, and suddenly you’re craving something sweet or thinking 🤔 

“Maybe just one more coffee.” ☕🍫

Sound familiar?

This isn’t a lack of discipline — it’s biology.

Here’s what’s really going on 👇

When your day starts in a rush and you skip breakfast, drink coffee on an empty stomach, or eat something quick and light, your body relies on cortisol (your main stress hormone) to keep you going.

Cortisol helps you stay alert, but it also raises blood sugar.

And what goes up… must come down 🤯

By mid-afternoon, your blood sugar crashes, leaving you tired, irritable, and craving sugar or caffeine to get you through the rest of the day.

That quick fix gives temporary relief — but it keeps your body trapped in a stress–crash cycle that slows your metabolism, disrupts hormones, and encourages your body to store fat around the belly.

So if you’re feeling bloated, tired, and frustrated that your body isn’t responding,this is often where it starts.

But here’s the good news:

Once you start supporting your hormones and nervous system with foods that stabilise blood sugar and keep you truly satisfied, everything changes.

You feel steady, focused, and in control.

Your energy becomes sustainable, not reactive.

You stop reaching for sugar or caffeine just to get through the day.

And your body naturally becomes leaner, lighter, and stronger as a result. 🤩

You stop feeling like you have to fight your cravings because you make them disappear instead.

This is what it means to work with your body and to get to the root cause of why you're holding onto weight.
