MindFULL is a device that helps people develop the habit of eating slowly.
It takes the brain 20 minutes to know it’s full, but most American eat their meals in 10 minutes or less. MindFULL helps you slow down, chew your food and focus on your eating.
Eating slower helps with weight loss, prevents indigestion, enhances enjoyment of food and helps relieve stress by being mindful.
MindFULL works by calculating the amount of time your fork (or other utensil) is in the air and alerts you that it’s time to put it down. By consciously putting your fork down in a specific place you train your mind in this habit.
Here’s a link to Gene’s post on how it works:
