In the quiet space between impulse and action, a nutritionist finds a small but meaningful intervention: ten minutes and a little movement. Pablo Ojeda's method doesn't wage war on desire — it simply asks us to pause long enough to discover whether what we feel is genuine hunger or the brief, passing wave of a craving. Most of the time, the wave breaks on its own, and we are left standing, unbothered, on the other side of it.
