instance, try making each meal a little bigger
than the last and see if that quells your
hunger. If it does—that’s your new baseline.
If not, there’s more than just hunger going on.
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.
Simply ask yourself, “Am I
hungry enough to eat steamed fish
and broccoli?” If the answer is no,
then you’re not really hungry;
you’ve just got a craving. 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!
