I've got the same problem; the best way I've found to cope with it is to let him eat for a minute or two, then drag him away from the food bowl and keep him away from it for at least five minutes.
This seems to work for us, anyway; then again, with three cats, it's a little easier (as soon as he's dragged away, another cat dives in).
