Aries
Rams are much more likely to reach for the jalapeno sauce than a cream bun. They love rushing around, so tend to burn off calories quickly. Beware of that fatty weekend takeaway – make it a treat rather than a habit.
Taurus
Restaurant critic? You're probably a Taurean. This sign adores food – from the simplest cheese on toast to gourmet cuisine. Reign in your tendency to go wild with your meals and try not to eat out every night, otherwise you could be unhappily surprised when you get on the scales.
Gemini
This sign loves trying new dishes. The danger comes when your repertoire of home-cooked food expands to include all the exciting new cuisines you've sampled. Stick to low-fat Japanese soups when you want to lose weight.
Cancer
In times of trouble, Cancerians turn to the biscuit tin. They also reach for the crisps or chocolate if they feel sad. Watch out for emotional eating – try walking it off or talking to someone instead.
Leo
Lions are suckers for a big meal. Huge Sunday roasts, five courses or extravagant smorgasbords make them ravenous. The secret is knowing when to stop, otherwise your sleek outline can get a bit paunchy.
Virgo
Brown rice, fruit salad, wheatgrass – all these healthy foods are likely to be in your shopping basket. Be careful to allow yourself treats, otherwise you could find yourself over-eating carob bars to fill yourself up.
Libra
Don't get between a Libra and their favourite food! Your love for avocados, ice-cream or sushi could turn into an obsession, so keep your figure trim by limiting how often you indulge in your snack de jour.
Scorpio
Your downfall comes at cocktail hour, as you're a fool for nuts and tapas when served alongside a glass of champagne or a cold beer. Remember to order soft drinks and hold off on the snacks if you want to drop the pounds.
Sagittarius
You like it – so you eat it. Sounds so simple, doesn't it? The problem comes when there's no limit imposed, and Sagittarians tend to indulge in second and third helpings if they're enjoying themselves. Learn to stop after one plate.
Capricorn
Industrious Capricorns want to unwind after work with a satisfying supper. Be cautious about what you choose, though, as you could be releasing work stress by serving up a bit too much wine and pasta.
