WANTING to snack isn’t a problem. Not being able to stop? That’s a problem.

Ello,

Let’s get something straight.

You don’t need to “fix” the fact that you like snacks.

You’re a human. You’re hardwired to want calorie-dense food 🤷‍♂️

If you put Oreos on the counter and expect not to eat them, that’s not discipline… that’s delusion.

You’re not a monk. You’re a modern ape with Uber Eats and Deliveroo and a fridge full of dopamine hits.

And we’re still acting like willpower is enough?

Mate, c’mon.

Let’s make this dead simple 👇️ 

🍫 Snacks everywhere. Willpower nowhere.

Our caveman brains are designed to binge on high-calorie, high-fat food the second we find it, because food used to be scarce.

You know what happens now though?

We live in a world where there’s a Starbucks, a Tesco Express and a JustEat driver every 200 metres.

Food isn’t scarce. It’s fucking everywhere.

So of course you want to snack.

Of course you're hungry all the time.

You’re living in a dopamine warzone.

🧠 The problem isn’t that you want the snack. The problem is that you can’t stop.

It’s not a crime to crave a biscuit.

But if you can’t just have one, and you go into full-on bin-the-pack mode, that’s when it becomes an issue.

Why? Because it’s not a willpower problem, it’s an environment problem.

You keep saying “I just need more discipline.”

Nah mate. You need fewer snacks in your eyeline.

👀 Out of sight, out of mind actually works

If you know you struggle with moderation, stop trying to “prove” something by keeping it in the house.

That’s not you developing discipline. That’s you setting up a booby trap and pretending it’s self-improvement.

Put your future self in a better situation.

Would I eat a full pack of chocolate digestives in one go if they were in the cupboard after dinner? Probably.

But if I’ve meal prepped, got my macros dialled in, and don’t even see the hobnobs until I’m doing a supermarket sweep once a month… I don’t need to battle that urge every night.

🧃 "But I need snacks in the house for balance!"

Cool. Have a plan.

✅ Buy snacks that are hard to overeat (e.g. protein yoghurts, fruit, babybels).

✅ Pre-portion higher calorie stuff. Don’t just take the bag to the sofa.

✅ Have specific "snack times" if you know grazing leads to bingeing.

✅ Make sure you’re actually eating enough at meals so your hunger’s not all over the place.

You don't need to ban snacks.

You need to stop trying to fight them blindfolded.

😴 You’re not lazy, you’re burnt out

Let’s not forget: your life is stressful.

Blue light from every device. Work emails pinging at 9pm. Group chats flying. Kids. Partners. Bills. Notifications. Traffic. Shit sleep. Zero movement.

Your brain is SCREAMING for relief.

And what’s the quickest relief? A hit of dopamine from food.

That’s why I don’t just coach people on food and macros.

I help them build systems that make those urges easier to manage, long before the fridge door opens.

So no, wanting to snack isn’t a problem.

Thinking you should be able to out-willpower your entire environment is.

Snacks aren’t bad. But your setup might be.
