We often experience a time in which we feel that we need chips or candy immediately and we are unable to focus on anything else other than our food cravings. This may seem normal but it can indicate several different issues. You may be thirsty and a glass of water can do the trick, or you may actually be hungry. If you often choose packaged and processed foods your body is likely to be deprived of essential nutrients it needs.

Ask yourself the following questions before satisfying your food cravings with unhealthy packaged and processed foods:

• What is my hunger level?

Do you really know what your hunger level is? This is an important question when you crave unhealthy foods. If you have not eaten in the last 4 hours it might be time for lunch. You may be surprised to see that hunger was not actually the issue when you rate your hunger level on a scale of 1-10 after eating, we often end up eating more if we are not aware of what our hunger level is. Next time when you see a dessert and feel a craving for it ask yourself if you are really hungry.
