Food cravings are the dieter’s worst enemy.

These are intense or uncontrollable desires for specific foods, stronger than normal hunger.

The types of foods that people crave are highly variable, but these are often processed junk foods that are high in sugar.

Cravings are one of the biggest reasons why people haveproblems losing weight and keeping it off.

Here are 11 simple ways to prevent or stop unhealthy food and sugar cravings.

1. Drink Water

Thirst is often confused with hunger or food cravings.

If you feel a sudden urge for a specific food, try drinking a large glass of water and wait a few minutes. You may find that the craving fades away, because your body was actually just thirsty.

Another new fight has been added to the already many dirty fights in Nollywood between actresses.

Over the years, Nollywood actresses have had bitter fights between each other over various causes ranging from men, ego, intimidation, etc.

The latest in that line of hot fight, which may explode if care is not taken is between controversy-happy actress, Tonto Dikeh and new-entrant in controversy business, Susan Peters.

According to the latest development sniffed by 3.m360 which the genesis of is still very cloudy, both Tonto and Susan Peters made their fight public.

Susan Peters talked about her anger to Tonto when she said, "I don't have a short temper, I just have a quick reaction too. Bullsh*t."

In a quick response to Susan Peters, Tonto said, "next time, I will snap all ma [BB] Porsche phones and send to you. That would be super cool. I will look for a new way to irritate you baby."

The question now is, what could have made Tonto Dikeh be sarcastic in her response to Susan Peters? What could have caused the fight between Tonto and Susan Peters?

Would it have been an earlier message from Susan Peters when she wrote, "we are not in the same class. We are not even on the same flight?"
