CRAVINGS AUDIT
For women 40+ ready to stop fighting their cravings in their own kitchen
YOU'RE TIRED OF THE SAME STORY
The only time you succeed with your nutrition is when you restrict all tempting foods.
You do a clean sweep of the kitchen and your family is less than pleased.
Your kids don't have their preferred snacks in the house, and complain every time you come home from the grocery store.
You feel great and in control…Then, one day, you walk down the snack aisle, thinking it'll be OK to buy some Cheez-Its.
Once you are home…the Cheez-Its are calling your name. You tell yourself you’ll “just have a handful,” but one handful becomes a handful every time you walk past the pantry.
You are so frustrated. You want to be like other people who can co-exist with snacks in the house.
You are also worried that you are passing this behavior on to your kids. You wonder if they will be able to have snacks at their house and feel at peace.
Well, I’m here to tell you that yes, it's possible to co-exist with some of your favorite snacks in the house without always snacking, and it has nothing to do with willpower or discipline; it's about how your kitchen is set up.
...and that's what I'm going to show you how to do.
YOU CAN CO-EXIST WITH SNACKS
This audit won't be a lecture on throwing out the chips or giving you high-protein substitutes for your favorite snacks.
In this audit, you will learn:
👉🏾 What causes the cycle of emotional eating.
👉🏾 Factors that are triggering you before you enter the kitchen
👉🏾 What to do when a craving strikes
👉🏾How to set up your kitchen so you can co-exist with the snacks.
👉🏾 Small changes you can make that day.
👉🏾 Templated meal plan ideas for two meals of your choice.
👉🏾 Meal prep/ingredient prep ideas so you always have the foods you want to eat ready to go.
IMAGINE THIS INSTEAD
✔️ You can have snacks in the house and not want to eat them "just because" they are there.
✔️ You aren’t constantly thinking about the snacks in the pantry.
✔️ You have snacks that you want to eat, readily visible (and ready to eat).
✔️ You don't have urges to snack every time you enter the kitchen.
✔️ And you eventually forget about the snacks after you buy them.
Hi, I'm Renee Bellinger
I am a menopause-informed health and nutrition coach with an MA in Counseling Psychology and 20+ years in behavior change.
I'm not just a health coach. I've lived this too.
When I started perimenopause, I noticed an increase in hunger, and I was on an endless search for the right high-protein snacks.
I knew what to eat, but I would still find myself raiding the pantry every afternoon and starting to regain the weight I’d worked so hard to manage.
Finally, when I made minor tweaks to my kitchen and addressed my emotional needs, I reduced my afternoon cravings.
Urges and cravings are complex. If you're white-knuckling through them, nutrition and psychology tools can make this feel a lot easier.
That’s why I created this Audit. I want to share what I’ve learned to help you set up your kitchen so the 3 pm or 9 pm urges are easier to ride out.
