Increases pleasure and flavor distinction.

Forces you to think while you eat/drink, as opposed to eat mindlessly.

After that, the coffee itself was just not as palatable.įollowing the law of first bites does a few things: When I began to do this with my morning coffee, I realized I really only wanted two cups. And not just sips of wine (or your alcohol of choice) but non-alcoholic beverages as well. It doesn't just apply to bites either, but sips as well. I started to consume far less, both in physique friendly foods and "fun" foods or "splurges" because I stopped eating when I wasn't enjoying it anymore. When I began to put this into action, it was life-changing. And this is how the the law of first bites came to be.įirst-Bite Law: Every bite should taste just as good as the first. That's when it hit me: Why not eat slowly, mindfully, and pay attention to when the taste changes? Not just when your body tells you it's satiated from a fullness standpoint, but from the perspective of your palate as well. Food is meant to be enjoyed, but shouldn't we enjoy every bite as much as the first? That first bite of a warm chocolate chip cookie that makes you go mmmmmmm. That first sip of wine that makes you go aaaaaahhhhh. And if that last bite of cheesy, salty, greasy goodness is not as heavenly as that very first bite, then why even eat it? Had I stopped to think (and listen to my body) I would have realized that after the second slice it just didn't taste as good. I would eat the entire chocolate bar because it was there, and never stopped to ask myself if I really wanted all of it.įor example, if I decided I was going to eat pizza as a splurge, I'd just crush the whole thing-without even thinking about it.

I either eat no chocolate, or all the chocolate.Īs you can imagine, this hasn't worked out so well for me. Basically, I'm not the "one piece of chocolate a day" type of girl. I always figured that if I was going to "cheat" I would just go all out, and the rest of the time be strict as hell.

In fact, my motto has long been "balls to the wall, or no balls at all." I've been known to crush a medium pizza, drink a full bottle of wine, eat an entire chocolate bar.you get the idea. When it comes to food, my natural tendency is to eat and drink far more than is necessary. It is a defining part of my personality, as long as it harms no one (myself included), I see no reason to berate myself for it. I have long accepted that this is essentially who I am. I shop every few months, and when I do, I walk out with one of everything. Thank goodness for Netflix. And my shopping habits? Well, I don't just buy one tank top. Instead, I like to "binge watch," meaning I will watch an entire season of Lost in one weekend. I am not a "watch an hour a day" type of gal. Take my television watching habits for example. You see, I have an excessive personality, in pretty much every possible way.
