Indulge a bit too much over the holidays? Fret not. Welcome to the future, where the very convenience that allows you to pack on pounds can just as easily help you unpack them. Too good to be true? Then you haven't heard of HAPIfork yet.
According to the write-up in Jezebel, the $100 fork lights up and vibrates as you eat to alert you to the fact that you're stuffing your face too quickly and not allowing sufficient pause between bites. Really. This clever bit of cutlery is rigged to ensure your meal spans 20 minutes of civility.
A new year, a new array of gadgets designed to help us shed some flab. Of course we could just to it the old fashioned way, i.e. with regular exercise and sensible, portioned eating. But that would be boring and in no way worthy of a Stephen King plot. (Imagine it: the fork that ekes its bloody revenge on its owner for not heeding its warnings to eat the damn quinoa!).
Would you consider using a gadget like the HAPIfork to help you achieve your health goals for 2014?
