TikTok’s Three-Bite Rule promises guilt-free indulgence. Science shows it’s just another diet myth.
A sizzling confession
I love that first bite.
The one that blooms on the tongue like a cymbal crash.
The second bite still sings.
By the third, the chorus fades, and my rational brain knocks on the door like a disappointed librarian.
Some clever corner of the internet has turned this sensation into a rule.
Eat three bites of anything indulgent, then stop.
Pleasure without penalty.
Discipline without denial.
A viral promise with a tidy number.
I get why it spread.
But you deserve better than a trend dressed up as wisdom.
This essay is my science-based response to the Three-Bite Rule.
With humor.
With evidence.
With a detour through art, literature, and philosophy.
And with a set of better tools that do not wreck your relationship with food.
