Can you tell the difference between a hunger vs. craving? If not, you are not the only one. That said, even though it isn’t commonly understood, you can still benefit from knowing the difference between the two. Even better, by understanding the difference, you’ll be able to make better choices to help control your weight, lose weight more efficiently, and even save money by avoiding the inclination to overeat.
When you’re trying to lose weight or keep up a healthful lifestyle, food cravings can hit you out of nowhere and can place all the victories from your carefully designed efforts at risk. The problem they present is that they rarely – if ever – come in the form of a desire to eat carrot sticks and a tall glass of ice water.
