It's the craziest thing: Two hours after lunch, you're already hungry for more. Or are you? Keep in mind cravings are often taste-driven surface impulses -- a hankering for flavor variety that can manifest as hunger. It's time to untangle the wires in your brain-body circuit. Nutrition experts suggest this mental trick to staunch your salivating: Imagine a hot, heaping portion of your most recent meal -- an exact duplication of what you've just polished off. If your craving seems to turn up its nose at the prospect of another sandwich or salad, it'll prove that it's not borne of hunger -- but rather, a common case of taste-bud boredom. Pop a stick of sugarless gum, or sip some flavored seltzer with a twist of lemon or lime. You'll please your palette without OD'ing on calories.
Eat right for your body type
