from Your Daily Bread · host Abbie Frye, MS, RDN, LDN, CIEC

If you always want a lil sweet treat... this episode is for you! This episode will help you decode your cravings (without shame)! Jesus reminds us that we do not live on bread alone—but on every word that comes from God (Matthew 4:3-4). That truth matters not only for our spiritual lives, but also for how we understand our bodies. Sometimes, even after a full meal, we still crave something sweet—and that doesn’t mean we’ve failed or lacked self-control. Often, it means something deeper (at a soul-level) is asking for attention. In this episode, you’ll learn:  Why cravings are not sinful, but often informative  Common physical reasons you may want something sweet after eating  How underfueling, imbalance, restriction, dehydration, or eating too fast can play a role  When cravings are about dopamine, comfort, or pleasure—not hunger  How to build a “dopamine menu” so food isn’t your only source of enjoyment  Why dessert isn’t the problem—but expecting food to meet every need is If you want help learning how to listen to your body while staying rooted in Scripture, you don’t have to figure it out alone. 👉 Book a free food freedom in Christ call here: https://yourdailybreadco.typeform.com/workwithabbie 👉 Read the Dopamine Menu article here: https://www.additudemag.com/dopamenu-dopamine-menu-adhd-brain/amp/
