cravings

A new line of research is investigating mechanisms for slowing down the rate at which our bodies digest fat. Understanding the biology behind food degradation could allow food scientists to design new nutritious diet aids that curb hunger cravings and induce that pleasant feeling we get when we are full. Without the nagging hunger pangs, most of us would have a much easier time following a balanced diet plan. Imagine having the luxury of eating to fuel your body rather than to satisfy your hunger.

First things first: we ALL have food cravings. Even though some studies report that women have food cravings more often than men, cravings are normal! Accepting food cravings and keeping them in check is an important component of weight management. Most people feel really guilty about having food cravings, but they are so incredibly commonl that nobody needs to feel they are unusual.
