    Yes, and you can fight it, or use some zero or low calorie options. I like drinking herbal teas during times I feel like having a little something-something and I'm just not hungry. You should see my stash!

    Diet soda and sugar free gum are also good for times like that. I have a nice collection of different flavors of gum too. I also have different flavors of soda and sometimes make cocktails with it, mixing different flavors to have some fun with the whole thing.

    If I want something savory, I have a 5 calorie cup of bouillon.

    That's when I grab the gum. Extra Watermelon is one of my favorites, but Berry Medley is good as are others. That or I just take a drink of my Dt Dr Pepper.

    I literally feel this way all the time! If I eat fruit, then I crave salty or savory. If I finish a nice salad then I crave sweets. Sometimes I give in and eat a sweet Greek yogurt or a handful of nuts to quiet my tummy. It is strange because I also know I am not hungry but my stomach will feel sour at times until I give in to the craving.
