Basically the premise is that by playing tetris (or many other games) your mind can become so immersed that it will temporarily "forget" that you're hungry, etc. Thus: you're standing in line to grab some food. That hamburger looks good. I mean, really good. Step aside a few minutes, play a game or two on your phone, go back in line and get your grilled chicken. Bam.
Thoughts?

I have to admit that I've been playing Tetris Blitz and because it's timed and hands on type of game, I find that it's harder to "snack" while playing this particular game. Additionally, I do forget about cravings..partly due to my competitive nature. but this is a subjective opinion..that for me is true.0
