Cravings vs Hunger

“It can be easy to confuse cravings for actual hunger, but we’ve got a quick-and-easy approach to differentiating between the two.

So go for a walk, phone a friend, or drink a glass of water and ride it out. If the answer is yes, then you’re definitely hungry — so eat something!”
