Powerseed: An Electronic Eating Coach via Medgadget via FutureFeeder
How cool is this!
Basically it beeps or changes color or something when you're supposed to take a bite. I so need one of these... I used to eat so slowly, now I eat like someone is going to steal it. I remember when I broke my leg about four years ago, it was a huge pain even leaning forward on the couch to get my food. The nice part was that it was about 5 minutes in between bites, and the food always tasted so good. I've tried eating slowly since, but I'll tell you, it's harder than it looks. I love the tast of food so much, it just kind of sneaks up on you and boom, your plate is clean. Which is why I'm never going to tell my kids to clean their plate. If they stop eating, fine I'll put it in the fridge and if they get hungry later they can eat that. But cleaning your plate is just so absolutely arbitrary. With a device like this, I'd like to think I can get myself a little better tuned to when I'm actually full.
Oh, and FutureFeeder is a great read! (Subscribed!)
