Dieting Gem: The Mixed Signals of Thirst and Hunger

--Read More In: Mind/Brain | Nutrition | Weight/Fat Loss

Thirst is often Mistaken For Hunger.

-Especially if they drink things that have diuretic properties, like coffee and caffeinated drinks, many people are going through the day partially dehydrated.

Since it is a Much Weaker Signal than Hunger, hydration often is supplanted for eating.

So: The next time you feel like you're hungry, check in with your body and see if you've had enough water or non-diuretic hydration during the day, and try a glass of water First.

You may end up being thinner in the long run if you develop this habit.
