Fixing the problem, not just putting a band-aid over it.

I understand what the inventor is doing, he's trying to help people from gaining unnecessary weight and not feel so full.  Can't really argue that, it's a helpful invention.  This is only one of these types of inventions out there.  My argument is that we need to start putting our time into fixing and curing our problems, not just temporarily alternating them.  What's next after the fork?  A plate that only dispenses food at a certain rate!  Or I say if we really want this fork to work don't just have it vibrate when you eat too fast; have it shock the hell out of you and then yell, "stop eating so fast fat ass!"  Maybe that last part is a little harsh but hopefully you get what I'm trying to say here.

Help yourself by fixing the underlying problem.  The problem is our eating habits.  To me it seems like we've created a nation based on 'if it can make you rich, do it!  No matter the cost to others.'  Will my methods take a little more work.  YES.  But they will set you up for a lifestyle or health and happiness.  And guess what, they're free!  So stop spending money on the latest scale, or exercise band, or pills and get to the root of the problem!

Here are some SIMPLE & FREE ways to stop eating so much and to lose weight!

1. Drink a glass of water 15 min before your meal.  This will prepare your body for the meal and it will make you feel fuller faster!

2. Use smaller plates, instead of large ones.  Sometimes we can perceive being full by seeing the amount we are eating.  This will also help eliminate waste of food and money.  

3. Remember it takes your brain 20 min to realize its full.  Before going up for seconds wait for a little bit, or try chewing more.  We've all heard this one before but at the very least it will help you enjoy the flavor of your food for longer.  You don't need 10 bites of food, take 5 and chew them twice as long!  

4. Eat more veggies! In case you can't do the other 3, well at least you're just jamming vegetables into your system, can't do as much harm there. :)

I'm not trying to discredit this invention or any others that help people lose weight   If it works for you then that's really all that matters.  But while this is helping you please also concentrate on the real underlying problems and be working on those as well.  Solving those problems is what will lead you to a healthier longer lasting life.
