Understanding Cravings vs. True Hunger

Cravings are often triggered by the exposure to highly processed and hyper-palatable foods, leading to indulgence beyond physiological needs. Distinguishing between true hunger and cravings is crucial, as hunger stems from needing calories and can be satisfied by various foods, notably nutrient-dense options. True hunger, identifiable by stomach emptiness and growling, comes after prolonged periods without eating and can be regulated by consistent eating schedules.
