My invention that is better than any weight loss fad.

I reached out for box of cereals and coolly poured some into my bowl then covered it with some semi-skimmed milk. I knew I wasn't going to enjoy this but alas, I needed to eat anyway. I started scooping up the cereals and ate as much as I could before putting the bowl to one side and sitting back for a few seconds to relax. I'd eaten it quickly because I knew my body needed the vitamin and general healthy intake. Instinctively I knew that I had to stop eating because I felt that my digestive system could not take anymore.

I got up and put the bowl in the sink, what was left of the cereals back up on top of the fridge and the milk in the fridge itself. I stood there pondering whilst looking at my Twix bar lying there on top of the ham. 'Shall I eat that now?' I thought whilst tapping my foot lightly. 'No, what's the point?'. I close the fridge and then open the freezer door underneath, pull out the top drawer and pick out my Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip icecream (My favourite flavour of ice cream may I add). I pose the question again but once again, dismiss it easily with 'no, not now'.

I still down and decide that I'm going to write. Nothing indepth but something that is interesting to think about.

See the reason why I just cannot be bothered with many foods right now like chocolate or crisps or icecream or any junk food for that matter is because I can't taste it. I'm just recovering from a cold in which the majority of it has affected only really my throat and my nose and sinuses. Everything is clogged up and because of that off course I cannot taste or smell a single thing.

See though, this got me thinking. We as human beings like different foods so much not really because of the texture so much but because of the taste off course. We have individual preferences on what we like and what we don't and most of us love junk food in one way or another. I certainly do, especially salty snacks and chocolate. But right now I couldn't give a dam about what I'm eating because I simply cannot taste a single thing! So what's the point in opening my Ben & Jerry's icecream now (which may I add, cost quite a lot for a small tub of icecream) when I cannot have the pleasure of enjoying the taste...

This off course led me to the conclusion of how good it would be if someone could invent something that would wipe out the taste senses temporarily. Perhaps like some kind of pill that a person can take. I know that right now I don't care what I eat because I simply cannot taste anything so nothing is that pleasurable right now. All I know is that I must eat to keep myself alive so imagine if something was invented like a type of drink even, to have that effect on the tastebuds. We'd all be healthy, probably super-healthy, because we wouldn't care what we ate as long as we stayed alive at least!

Maybe I should patent this idea and then meet up with a couple of research scientists!

There you go! The way to getting slim and healthy without the need of fad diets and restrictions!
