Think about foods you tend to overeat once you have some. Nuts come to mind. They are usually salted, and something about the yummy nut flavor mixed with the salt seems to stay on the tongue longer. It lingers. I know that if I'm having cashews (yes, I know, not technically a nut) I want more and more and more if there is a ready supply of more. So I tend to grab nuts, when I do, in single serve packets or on the way out the door. If I have them in the house, I take a handful or whatever from the kitchen and go eat in another room. But when that handful is done, while that flavor persists in my mouth, I always want more, and it's not hunger or craving or any desire to binge. It seems to be the lingering flavor. (Brushing one's teeth helps with this big time!)
