Try the talking plate to lose weight

Developed by Swedish scientists at the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm, Mandometer is a computer-linked electronic plate that speaks to you and helps you monitor your food intake. Not the best thing to eat on, the Mandometer is a plate accompanied with an electronic scale, underneath, and a small screen. The scale weighs the food you eat and the screen shows a graph depicting the speed at which you’re eating, if the food disappears too fast – the plate speaks out a request to slow down, an idea that would allow overweight and healthy ones, trying to lose weight, to eat slowly and thus feel content with smaller portions of food. Researched for about 18 months at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children in Britain the Mandometer has been found to be an effective tool to combat obesity in children and teens.
