I was talking to zombiefishfish earlier today that sometimes the mind and body confuses thirst with hunger....i thought it was something interesting to share with others....

I found an article that discusses it more in depth....check it out

    I've always found that my mind gets massively confused when trying to work out the difference between being hngry and thirsty; for a long while, i would think 'god i'm hungry!' but eating wouldn't satisfy me. Then i'd have a glas sof water and suddenly it was like 'aha! That's what my body wanted!' Now, whenever i'm hungry without due course, (i.e, i've just had a meal, or eaten an entire packet of crisps), i'll have a large glass of water before i think about what i want to eat, as a lot of the time it is just that my body is dehydrated, not starving. Definitely one of the most important things i've learnt concerning weight loss.

    Interesting! I've always heard that hunger and thirst were closely related, but I didn't know the signals could get mixed up like that.
