Here's a little experiment for you to try:
1 Create a ‘sample platter' with a taste of each of your favourite foods – a bit of warm bread with butter, a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, a bite of a bar of chocolate, a bit of sushi, or anything that makes your mouth water just thinking about it.

2 When you've read through all these instructions, close your eyes and indulge your senses. Smell your food before eating it. See how long you can make each bite last. Most foods actually have more than one taste when you take the time to really savour them. In fact, if you really pay close attention, you will notice the tastes and textures changing as you chew them.

3 Notice which foods become more enjoyable the longer you take to eat them, and any which may become less enjoyable. Try and discover at least one new flavour in each food you sample. Remember, the more you are willing to enjoy each mouthful, the thinner you are becoming!
