Are mental meals a good idea?

As with many things, I was introduced to the concept by 101 Dalmatians: The Series.

A mental meal is something you imagine eating when you're hungry, of course. I've never done it because I'm irrational and don't often think of alternative solutions to things besides wanting them and wanting them NOW. Also I tend to take snacks places with me. But is it a good solution if I can't get a snack?

    It's probably worth a shot if you don't have other options. Usually I just try to drink a bunch of water to convince my stomach it's full until I can get to real food, though.

    Thinking about food will most likely stimulate additional digestive processes and make you hungrier.

    Also, drinking water doesn't generally work because your body can tell the difference, but solid foods with high water content (potatoes) work.  It's one of those things a good non-fad diet will exploit so your body can start burning fat without feeling like you're starving.

    It's never worked for me.

    The nutrient index of mung bean noddles are negligible, so that could be good for you.
