Smart fork monitors eating speed, embarrasses speedy diners

1/8/2013

If the idea of a post-meal stomach pumping, well, turns your stomach, but you love the idea of a gizmo to help you on your weight loss quest, behold the $99 HAPIfork. Complete with flashing lights and a USB connector, this newfangled utensil monitors how many forkfuls you shovel in each minute and times how long you pause between bites. And just to embarrass you, it vibrates when you pig out by shoving in more than one bite every 10 seconds. Download the data onto HAPILABS's online dashboard or into its app and it will analyze where you're going wrong. Or you could just eat less. [Source]
