Food Cravings Explained: Why Willpower Isn’t Enough (Part 2)

/

If you’ve ever wondered why “just trying harder” doesn’t stop food cravings, you’re not alone. In this video, registered dietitian Kristen Yarker explains why willpower isn’t enough — and why cravings have far more to do with physiology, habits, and environment than personal discipline.

Kristen breaks down what actually drives cravings and overeating, including nighttime eating and emotional triggers, and shares evidence-based strategies that help you work with your body instead of against it. The goal isn’t restriction — it’s lasting appetite control and a calmer relationship with food.
