Episode 140: How to Stop Mindless Snacking—Without Guilt or Restriction

In Episode 140, I explore why we snack when we’re not hungry, how to shift from mindless to mindful snacking, and whether snacks can be a helpful part of your day. You’ll learn how to spot emotional, habitual, or environmental triggers, how to honour true hunger, and practical strategies for stopping unintentional snacking without restriction or guilt. Plus, I answer the top questions I am asked: Is snacking good or bad? When should I snack? What’s a healthy snack?
