"Men have more direct neurological control over their hunger than women do."
A brain-imaging study conducted at the Brookhaven National Laboratory demonstrated that men are uniquely able to inhibit the brain's response to food when hungry. Subjects in the experiment were alternatively instructed to try to inhibit their response to food, and given no instructions. When presented with their favorite foods, men and women trying to suppress their hunger both claimed to be less hungry, but only men exhibited any actual changes in the regions of the brain activated by hunger and eating.
