Drink Up Before You Snack

Are you really hungry, or is it just your thirst talking? We often misinterpret feelings of thirst as hunger pangs, according to Brian Wansink, author of Mindless Eating: Why We Eat More Than We Think (2006, Bantam). The result: We hit the fridge when we really should be wetting our whistles with some H2O.

Wansink advises in his blog:

Its important to emphasize that our body-as a system-may not know whether we are hungry or thirsty. It might be best, therefore, to have a nice glass of water before we start shopping around for fries.
