Brush your tongue when you have a craving. You can also wait about 10-15 minutes. It will past. Also, drink a glass of water. You may want to look into the book Weight Cure by Kevin Turdreau (not sure if his last name is spelled right). But I took a look at his book and it shows you how to get rid of cravings for good. Try to see if you can get it from you local library.

Drink lots of water, sometimes the body interprets thirst as hunger, drinking lots of water should help control the cravings

i alwayyyyyyyyyyys have food cravings and i am 17 too. it's normal, and they are really weird cravings too, about a month ago i went 3 weeks straight eating pizza hut breadticks every night. hhaha.

Ignore it.....

It is okay maybe you have been eating abnormally so your body is confused.

I get that, but that's more because I think everything is tasty.
Just ignore it, don't let it "take control of you" if you will :)

Try finding something smaller with similar ingredients
Like if its something sweet, have a jolly rancher (or something else small that you prefer)

you might be preggo lol.

Try to eat less. When you eat more in a day, your body will get used to it, and want food all the time.
Good Luck!!

just ignore it and try to not eat when you can (if youre going to binge later) until you can sort it out

happens to me too

This is totally normal. This is the time in your life when things in your body are changing, or just getting used to the changes that have been made a few years earlier. This is normal, and your cravings probably will not be as bad once you get a little older. I hope this helps! :)

do u crave dicks or pussys

let it go for awhile.but if it countinues tell sumone cause i truly do not know.wish i could help more.

Well just fight it. When you eat your meals, eat until you are full and eat filling foods. It could also be medical, or maybe your appitite is just growing.

you just have to force yourslef not to eat it
i mean eat and all...dont starve yourslef
but like dont snack or whatever
just tell yourself that you dont need it and try and think about something else...
call a friend or something to stop think about being hungry or craving sumthing
good luck

If it bothers you, then no, dont ignore it
It may be a mind over matter thing. Try keeping yourself busy by going to the computer, walk around outside, or something else instead of eating

Hmmm. I have food cravings also. You know those special K drinks. They are like a fruit juice. I would suggest trying them. They may not be K, but try some sort of healthy drink. Maybe the food you enjoy just makes you want more like salt. You probably aren't hungry when these happen, so just try drinking joice or water type substances, and see if that helps!

oh! i get hte same thing. like when your driving you see restraunts and you just crave something from that place, i dont know why its like that, but i have always had this weird thery of maybe when you were a kidd your mom have ALOT of food cravings also. but i think it might just be because everything is so good! do you gain alot of weight? cause thats what happend to me, well i hope everything goes well though.

good luck =]

umm i get that to but i am growing?? so umm i really have no idea? maybe u have obbsessive compulsive disorder

your a girl and we all do this, you will do this the rest of your life and will find this during a emotional time, esp around the time of the month about 1 or two weeks before, keep a calander and you will see a track of it. dont denie yourself, allow yourself a little. not a lot esp at night. i did the same, i was a skinny 92 lbs at your age and my parents went nuts over how much i ate. oh by the way, girls dont stop growning til you are 25 years old, you may have in body but in mind and emotion not til you are 25, guys stop at 19.

This is a simple case of mind over body, your body wants to eat, it feels to need to eat and it deceives you. To control this just have self control, your mouth might water, your stomach might growl ignore it, go to sleep. Also, don't deceive yourself by eating a little because you end up eating more than a little.

If you see this foods on commercial
please know that they used subliminal tactics to get to your subconscious. When you watch commercials keep your mind strong. This is just an additional idea.

The best advice I can give you is to think negative things about food. like what they'll do to you in the long run. I myself am 17 and I crave for chocklate all the time, so I just think about the negative effects that it will have on me such as cavities, what the ingredients are ,and the percent of sugar thats in it. I know it might sound lame,but try it.
