Think bites and flavour

It’s not pragmatic or possible to completely lay off sweets, snacks and calorie-dense food this festive season.

We eat to bond, celebrate and enjoy.

But also eat with intent.

Take a bite, really taste the food that you are eating and take your time with each bite.

The second bite is not as flavourful as the first bite. Maybe that’s the time to stop? Or a third bite?

You eat sweets, snacks and calorie dense food for taste. It’s not for energy. It’s not for nourishment. It’s only taste.

That’s the intent behind eating that food.

So eat with intent. Don’t just eat it because the food is sitting there in front of you. Feel free to break a piece into two halves. Eat for flavour. And try and taste what you are eating.
