Diet Tip: Put Down That Fork
I have mentioned the idea of putting down your fork between bites before, but I want to thank user VicVicVictooriaa for bringing it up again.
It's true, putting your fork down between bites will force you to eat slower, thus giving your body enough time to register the amount of food you're actually putting into your body before it's too late (and you feel uncomfortable). Chances are you'll realize you've had enough much sooner than if you were to scarf down your whole meal without releasing your grip on your fork.
Diet Fork: Cool or Not?
Recently I came across a new product, The Diet Fork ($8.95 for 10 - buy it here), which is supposed to help one eat slower while simultaneously burn more calories. Here's how:
- Shorter and dulled teeth inhibiting user from grasping larger pieces of food at any one time.
- Smaller triangular shaped surface area allowing dieter to hold less food than many other forks.
- Uncomfortable grip compelling user to put fork down between bites, slowing the user's eating speed.
