How to Build Your Barely Craving Habit (Using the Streaks App)

Taking Barely Craving is easy.

Staying consistent with it daily?

That’s where many people can struggle until they build the habit because building any new habit takes intention.

And because Barely Craving helps to prevent hunger/food cravings before they start - it works best when it is part of your routine, not something you remember to do because you are already hungry.

Why Consistency Matters

Barely Craving is designed to support:

✔ Natural fullness
✔ Calmer cravings
✔ Steadier energy
✔ Sustainable appetite regulation

These benefits compound day over day with regular use.

Which means:

👉 The real transformation happens through consistency.

The Most Common Challenge When Starting Barely Craving

Many customers tell us:

• “I forget some days”
• “I’m great during the week, inconsistent on weekends”
• “I start strong, then life gets busy”

This is completely normal.

Because motivation always fades.

Schedules change.

Life interrupts even the best intentions.

A Simple Tool That I Use: Streaks

The most effective tool for building daily consistency that I've found is an app called Streaks.

It’s a clean, beautifully designed habit-tracking app that helps turn actions into automatic behaviours.

Instead of relying on memory…

Instead of relying on willpower…

👉 You win because you have a system.

How to Use Streaks to Lock In Your Barely Craving Habit

Here’s a simple setup we recommend.

Step 1: Add Your Habit

Open the Streaks app and create a new task:

Habit Name:
👉 Take 1 Tbsp Barely Craving

Frequency:
✔ Daily

Reminder:
✔ Choose a realistic anchor time
(ex: breakfast, lunch, supper, protein shake/morning coffee, etc.)

Step 2: Start Small (This Is Critical)

When building a habit remember: small actions → repeated daily → profound long-term results.

We suggest:

Week 1 → 1 tablespoon per day

This allows:

✔ Your digestion to adjust
✔ Your routine to stabilize
✔ Your streak "wins" to build easily

Step 3: Gradually Increase

As your habit becomes automatic:

Week 2 → add a new habit to increase to 2 tablespoons daily
Week 3 → add a new habit to increase to 3 tablespoons daily
Week 4+ → add a new habit to increase to 4 tablespoons daily (recommended dosage for full benefits)

Example:

✔ “1 tbsp Barely Craving with Breakfast” (start with this in week 1)
✔ “1 tbsp Barely Craving with Supper” (add this in week 2)
✔ “1 tbsp Barely Craving with Lunch” (add this in week 3)
✔ “1 tbsp Barely Craving with Protein Shake” (add this in week 4)

 

Step 4: Protect Your Streaks

Streaks works because:

👉 Humans hate breaking streaks.

That tiny psychological tension is incredibly powerful.

Missing one habit feels very different than “falling off” or missing a whole day.

Why This Works So Well

This approach:

✔ Removes decision fatigue
✔ Removes forgetfulness
✔ Builds automaticity by setting up 4 habit streaks
✔ Supports long-term adherence because each "streaks win" is so easy with just adding 1 Tbsp of Barely Craving into what you are already eating!

Which compounds to provide you the self reinforcing benefits of:

✨ Better satiety
✨ Better appetite regulation
✨ Better results

Progress Over Perfection

Miss a Tbsp?

No guilt. No spiral.

Just restart.

Remember, consistency wins long term — not perfection.

Barely Craving Works Best When It Becomes Automatic

Barely Craving supports your biology.

Habit gamification supports your behaviour.

Together?

👉 That’s where change is sustainable, and even fun.
