"What struck me was the feeling of not being hungry, he tells the Guardian. I still wanted to eat, but I didn't feel that drive. It made me think this is going to kill the restaurant industry, because if people aren't eating as much, restaurants won't be as enticing. I'm not sure what will happen to supermarkets either. I don't think this change is bad for health."
"When booking at the world-famous restaurant in Bray, Berkshire, diners can choose the Mindful Experience, which offers all the same creations as the usual menu, the Journey. These include the Nitro-Poached Aperitif, a frozen cocktail puff made with liquid nitrogen, and the Crab and Passionfruit 99, which reimagines a seaside ice-cream cone. However, portion sizes are reduced by about 20%-30% per dish, and in some cases by up to 50%, while the price is 75 a head cheaper at 275."
Heston Blumenthal has introduced the Mindful Experience at the Fat Duck, offering the same tasting courses as the Journey with smaller portion sizes. The Mindful Experience includes creations such as the Nitro-Poached Aperitif and the Crab and Passionfruit 99 while reducing portions by about 20–30% and in some cases up to 50%. The menu is priced at £275, £75 less than the full Journey. The option accommodates less-hungry diners including those taking GLP-1 appetite-suppressing drugs such as Wegovy and Mounjaro. Blumenthal has been prescribed Mounjaro to manage weight gained as a side-effect of medication for type 1 bipolar disorder. The change could affect restaurants, alcohol and supermarket consumption.
