Practise fasting!
I will admit I haven't yet done a true fast such as fast for 24 hrs. Mine is more like for 5 hours! But that is a big step for me to go without food for 5 hours. I am used to eating every 2-3 hours. It is a habit that I got into following a diet advocated by the fitness industry: eat 6 small meals a day. Have you ever been wilderness camping and been without "real" food for an extended period of time? When you come out of the bush, food tastes SO GOOD! That is what fasting gets you, so hungry that you are hypersensitive to all the tastes and aromas when you finally do sit down to eat. You just have to make sure that you don't overeat after a fast. Fasting just heightens the pleasure of anything you are eating. Even something that you would normally find boring to eat, tastes incredible. One reasons I recommend fasting. You can get more out of your food with out having to rely on the overly sweet or overly fat tastes of food to get the same experience. Just don't try it if you are pregnant or have some other health issues, fasting is only recommended for people who are generally healthy and not pregnant.
