For years, Faye Monroe battled afternoon cravings with vending machine snacks and sugary drinks. She’d try cutting back, only to feel worse—tired, irritable, and always hungry again by dinner.
“I thought I had no willpower,” she says. “But the truth was, I wasn’t eating in a way that actually satisfied me.”
When she transitioned to a vegan diet, she was determined to do it right. That meant more than just swapping meat for tofu. She dove deep into fiber—understanding how it slowed digestion, balanced blood sugar, and helped with satiety.
Faye began building meals that were naturally high in fiber and nutrients: hearty lentil soups, whole grain stir-fries, and chia pudding loaded with berries. She wasn’t just adding fiber supplements—she was cooking with purpose.
What shocked her most was how quickly her cravings faded. “I’d eat lunch and feel good until dinner,” she says. “No need for chips or a soda to ‘make it through.’”
Faye believes cravings aren’t always about emotional eating—they’re often biological signals that your body isn’t getting what it needs. “When I started feeding myself well,” she says, “my body stopped begging for junk.”
Now she shares her story with anyone who feels stuck in a cycle of snacking and guilt. “Fiber saved me,” she laughs. “Who knew?”
