Ever find yourself daydreaming about chocolate or craving those salty chips like there's no tomorrow? You're not alone!    In this episode we're dishing out the real talk on food cravings—why they happen and what we can do about them. From understanding the difference between physical and emotional hunger, to sharing tips that actually work (and a few that don't), we’re covering it all.   In this episode: Understanding different types of Hunger: Physical vs Emotional Diet Culture Myths when it comes to hunger, and why “eating an apple” or “drinking water” might not fix your cravings.  The Under-Eating Trap: Could your cravings be a sign that you're not eating enough during the day? We discuss how making sure you’re getting enough can be a game-changer. Emotions and Cravings: Stress, boredom, and emotions play a huge role in what we reach for in the pantry.  Is there a perfect diet? Spoiler alert: NO!   Take a moment to think about your cravings. Are they coming from a place of hunger, emotions, or something else? Experiment with different ways to satisfy them—whether it's through food or another activity that makes you feel good.
