A member asked:
Trying to lose weight. how do you know when your body is craving food vs hungry, thirsty, or too hungry (sick)? what signs should i watch for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unreliable symptoms: You need to stay on your program. Sensations of hunger are unreliable. Stick to your calorie allowances and ignore the cravings. They will fade with time.
