However, the benefits of intermittent fasting can feel painfully out of reach for rookie belly-rumblers & hungry croissant dodgers, afterall discipling one’s appetite can feel like training a K9 police dog.

When to consume

Belly rumbles usually sucker punch us at pretty predictable times throughout the day. First thing in the morning is our usual window of gut growling attention seeking followed by a snack searching post lunch taste tickler to respike the crashing blood insulin levels. The Sonic-Shroom Smoothie is the perfect ace up your sleeve & get out of jail free card for mitigating both biscuit barrel raids & nods at dinner maids.

Here are 3 times of the day when smoothies help hit the hunger spots:

5-8am | Breakfast meal replacement
8-9am | Post-training recovery (add extra protein or collagen powder)
3-4pm | Post lunch sugar craving killer

Consistency is King

I know I keep banging on the discipline drum, but training your metabolism to not need a stomach full of carb dense fuel immediately when you wake up is simply a matter of introducing small unnoticeable changes each day. Fasting needn't feel like a foodless 30 day survival trek through a Bear Grylls desert… to begin with it’s best to try starting small & build up your willpower over a week or two. Remember small incremental micro adjustments add the F up over time.

Example

Week 1

If you normally chow down at 7am, try pushing it to 8am. This may screw up your morning routine a little but you're playing a game of inches in the beginning phase. Get yourself used to this for a few days, then extend the feeding window to 9am. Sipping on a Sonic-Shroom Smoothie will help reduce appetite & baby step you into the new leaner morning routine.

Week 2

Every few days extend your fasting window by 20-30 minutes. By the 14th day you should be comfortably sailing closer to the lunchtime window without your appetite distracting you.

Week 3

Begin reducing the size of your morning smoothie or even skipping it all together. Save your Sonic-Shroom Smoothie for the predictable 3-4-pm carb craving insulin top-up.

Remember, the key to sticking to any lifestyle changes, fitness goals or ambitious business ventures is creating a repeatable & timeboxed daily structure. Having a daily system & itemized checklist will keep you aligned with all long term personal goals from the tightness of your waist to the girth of your wallet.

In summary

If you’re dying for dinner or would kill for your Kellogs, strangling the sugar slavery over a week or two is sometimes the best strategy for getting away with mealtime murders. Successful morning cereal killers create airtight daily routines to help them mitigate the munchies & discipline the wild inner-dinner dog.

Sticking to a daily systematic blueprint will keep you aligned with your lunchtime north star & prevent you sailing off course when life’s turbulent tides attempt to rock your breakfast binge boat.

Public accountability, rewards & incentives are all the dangling carrots to keep your hungry horse going the distance & galloping on track. That said, I got a deal for you…
