How Long Cravings Last

Quick Tip

Are you not quite sure if you are really hungry or simply craving something to eat because you are bored. Here is a quick way to tell the difference. Apparently most cravings last about 15 minutes before they are forgotten and you have moved onto something else. Try waiting it out and then see what happens. If you are still hungry after the 15 minutes has passed, treat yourself to a piece of fruit or a small tub of yogurt. Pass on the bag of potato chips.
