Eat with relish: Concentrate on what you are eating. Feel the flavours bursting in your mouth and savour the smell. See the play of colours.

Savour each bite: Feel the taste and take some time to appreciate the different flavours. When you do this, you will automatically eat slowly. Eating slowly will fill you up faster. You can also try taking smaller bites.
