TJ Walker advises that intense pleasure comes primarily from the first few bites of food, using fine-dining small plates and snacking (Doritos) as examples. He argues people habituate to pleasure after initial bites, so to increase stimulation one should consume small portions rather than overindulge. The clip serves as brief behavioral advice to adopt this habit.
Some of the best restaurants in the world only give small little plates. Why do they do that? It's not just to make more money selling more plates. It's because the chefs realize it's just the first two or three bites that give the most intense pleasure. After that, you become habituated to the pleasure. It's not as exciting. If you're looking to give more stimulation, more pleasure in your life, don't overdo it. You don't have to eat the entire bag of Doritos. Go for small portions. That's where the initial rush comes in with the greatest intensity. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
