When you first start changing your eating habits, it can be hard to distinguish the difference between hunger and appetite. One feeds your body, the other feeds your mood.
If you are eating small protein and carbohydrate meals throughout
the day, and you find yourself wanting to eat more, use this simple
test to determine if it's real hunger you are feeling or just a craving
for something you've been trying to resist.
1. Have each of your meals thus far contained a good quality protein
and carbohydrate? (If not, this can cause wild cravings.)
2. Has it been two hours since you last ate?
3. Have you been drinking the right amount of water?
If you answer "yes" to all of these questions, it's likely you are
hungry and ready for your next meal. If not, your desire for more
food is probably because you answered "no" to one or more of
these questions.
