WHEN you’re hankering for a particular snack, that doesn’t always mean you’re hungry — and your craving could be your body’s way of sending a message, claims dietitian Lyndi Cohen.

Cohen insists carbohydrates are an important energy source and shouldn’t be ditched from your diet but says whole grain alternatives can be a satisfying option. However, she warns some cravings — such as daily chocolate after dinner — are simply situational habits that…
