Michael Pollan coined the phrase ‘The banquet is in the first bite’ and taking this idea to heart will allow you to enjoy food and eat at a more civil pace. It dovetails perfectly with my method of Sensational Eating that has my clients claiming that food has been reinvented!
The first bite of any meal becomes sensational and can’t be beaten by any mouthful to come. Economists have a phrase for what happens calling it the law of diminishing marginal satisfaction. That simply means pleasure in food comes in the first couple bites, and then diminishes.
Automatic Better EAting (ABE) and Sensational Eating teach you how to focus on the experience, and enjoy those first bites. If you just carry on munching then as you get into the 20th bite, you’re talking calories and not pleasure.
This article captures one way to put the concept into action . . . Enjoy!
