This is a Delicious Entry.

I read this in an article in a newspaper.

So psychologists claim that just by imagining eating foods may reduce your appetite for them, and help you with losing weight. This is, of course, contrary to the well-known fact of the sudden ravenous feeling that usually surfaces as we imagine a delicious meal.

For example, imagine this:

OOPS I got it wrong at 'delicious meal'. HAHA. Dosa lah, ngek.

OK tukar yang tak dosa sangat.

Ololooo ololooo. Ai laf yu Shahid Kapoor.

OK OK cukup. Back to the imaginary food consumption. We must imagine food.

So here's food. If you don't like this please Google your own favourite.

This is cordon bleu. (Kenapa teringat Ebnu Holdoon? Oh nein.)

Now start to imagine eating it. Ok Bismillah dulu. Now start. By nibbling it at first. Tasting at first the crunchy, golden-fried breadcrumbs. The sweet and supple chicken meat that seems to ooze deliciousness into your entire mouth. Then taking a bigger bite and closing your eyes while chewing because you can't help it when there's heaven filling your senses. The sweetness of the meat against the salty cheese that melts seductively in your mouth and brought fireworks under your eyelids. Repeating the process over and over, and being grateful all the way for the endless supply.

Now it is stated in the article that after tormenting yourself with this gluttonous imagination, you tend to consume only half of the usual amount you usually consumed. This is because your cravings has been partly satisfied in your sub-concious, thus dulling the after-effect. Of course, the only foods used in the research are morsels of cheese and M&Ms but I believe this applies to heavy meals too.

So the next time you're having a meal, stare at your plate and imagine eating all the happy things on it already before you even start touching them. And observe the result.

p/s: I tried googling makanan lazat at first, because it sounds more delicious than makanan sedap but the first image to appear showed a bunch of dead baby rats on a burger. Bangang.
