Habits
Cue-Induced Craving
Environment and emotion trigger cravings independent of calorie need. Change context, precommit snacks, or use competing responses to break loops.
Cue-induced craving is wanting triggered by environments—kitchen at 9 p. m.
, commute past a bakery, stress plus phone scroll—not true energy need. Classical conditioning links place and emotion to eating or snacking even after a sufficient dinner.
Break loops by changing context, precommitting snacks, or competing responses.
