While your idea is very interesting, I feel that portion control is better.
In other words, keep the meal small, wolf it down, and then use some self
control for ten minutes. Ten minutes is not an unreasonable amount of time
to endure hunger. Plan to re-evaluate your satiation after the ten minutes.
In my experience the hunger is usually gone.

It is better to eat with a goal to stop hunger, than it is to eat with a
goal of feeling full or stuffed. There is a big difference in calories.
