"Psst... Your Hormones Are Talking Smack About You!" 👀
Hey you.
Yeah, you—currently scrolling while your 3 PM sugar crash hits like a Bollywood plot twist. Your hormones?
They're gathered in your body like aunties at a sangeet, side-eyeing your life choices:
"Arre, dekho isko—smoothie ko 'healthy breakfast' samajh rahi hai!""Bas ek aur biscuit... haan, waistline toh khud hi shrink ho jayegi na?""Phone pe reels dekhte dekhte khana kha rahi hai... brilliant!"
Well, guess what?
We're about to give those gossipy hormones a reality check—with stuff already in your kitchen. 🧂🥜
1. Insulin – Your Hangry Bestie Who Just Needs Snacks (STAT) 🍬🥴
Let’s talk about Insulin—the diva of your hormonal gang. She’s that clingy bestie who:
Loses it if you skip breakfast
Craves sugar like a K-drama binge at 3 PM
Makes a whole scene over nothing (read: minor blood sugar dips)
You know her. We all know her.
🔍 Signs She’s Flipping Out:
You’re eyeing that biscuit like it’s your last lifeline
Suddenly tired, cranky, and wondering why your jeans shrunk (they didn’t. She’s bloated.)
Brain fog so thick, you forget what you walked into the kitchen for
✅ How to Keep Her Zen (And You Sane):
🍳 1. Breakfast = Non-Negotiable
Your coffee isn’t breakfast. Neither is a sad banana.
Give her real food, like:
Poha + peanuts – cozy, grounding, and blood sugar friendly
Besan chilla + green chutney – protein-packed and totally desi
Eggs + roti – no fancy stuff, just good fuel
🍲 2. Eat in This Order = Game Changer
Start your meals with sabzi + dahi, then move to carbs.
It slows sugar spikes and keeps cravings quiet. 🧘🏽♀️
🌿 3. Cinnamon = Your Spice Rack’s Hidden Hero
A tiny sprinkle does big things. Add to:
When Sugar Cravings Hit... Do This First!
Instead of panicking (or inhaling a dozen biscuits), try:
2 dates + 5 almonds – sweet + crunch = happy brain 🧠
1 square dark chocolate + 1 tsp peanut butter – yes, you're allowed
Chia pudding with coconut milk – fancy if you're feeling extra
Real Talk: This Isn’t About Willpower
It’s not you. It’s your hormones.
When insulin’s out of whack, your body asks for sugar like a toddler asks for candy—loudly.
Feed her right, and she’ll calm down. Promise. 💗
You’re not on a “diet.”
You’re just outsmarting your hormones.
And trust me—when insulin’s happy, everything feels easier. 💁🏽♀️✨
2. Cortisol – Your Overworked WhatsApp Admin 📲💥
That one group admin who's always stressed? That’s Cortisol.
It’s 2 AM and your brain’s replaying that awkward thing you said in 2015
You snap at your partner for chewing too loudly (been there)
That family WhatsApp group is this close to getting blocked
Ashwagandha latte: Warm milk + ashwagandha + honey = liquid Xanax (but tastier) 😌
Snack intervention: Swap chips for roasted makhana (same crunch, zero guilt)
Lunch rebellion: Eat before 2 PM, even if your boss says "after this meeting"
💡 Life hack: Try the "5-minute stare into space" after meals.
No phone. No thoughts. Just you and your food coma.
3. Thyroid – Your Sleepy Intern 💤🧣
That one intern who moves slower than government paperwork? That’s your Thyroid.
You’re wearing sweaters in April while others fan themselves
Hair’s falling out more than your motivation on Mondays
Your metabolism moves like Mumbai local at rush hour 🚂
Brazil nuts: Just 2/day = selenium boost (like giving your intern a coffee voucher)
Coconut oil: Cook with it—your Malayali friend's mom would approve
Veggie hack: Lightly sauté greens instead of sad raw salads
4. Estrogen & Progesterone – The Drama Queen Aunties 💅🎭
Those two aunties who live for gossip?
Yep, that’s these hormonal divas.
PMS cravings hit like your mom’s “When are you getting married?” questions
Period feels like a Tarantino movie scene
Breakouts appear right before an important event—because of course 🙄
Your hormones aren't out to get you—they're just trying to text you in ALL CAPS. Start listening, start tweaking, and watch your body throw you a thank-you dance. 💃🏽
