HAPIFork Can Help With Your Diet Planning

At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas this year, there has been a single item which appears to be generating far more interest than many of the technology marvels which are being presented. This is a very simple item and looks very much like a fork. And it is in fact a fork and ever so much more. While you might not expect a fork to make such a big splash at a technology show, the news is buzzing about this new device. And ABC News has done a report on it which you can see at the bottom.

The HAPIfork has been designed by HAPILab and makes a number of claims which I know apply to me because of how I eat. This fork will keep track of how often you move the fork from your plate to your mouth. They call this movement a "fork serving" and there is a set interval to this activity. This smart fork will tell you if you are eating too fast. This is done by having the HAPIfork vibrate when it detects "fork servings" happening too frequently. It seems that if you eat your food too fast, it will create indigestion problems. And just slowing down how fast you are eating is enough relieve some of those issues.

The HAPIfork will not measure the amount of food you take in on each "fork serving", but by slowing down your eating speed, you will better digest your food and thereby help your weight. At least that is what they are saying for this. The idea of slowing down your eating speed will let your body realize far better when you have had enough food. But that assumes that you pay attention to that. This also does not deal with food items which are not consumed with a fork, such as bread which so many of us truly enjoy.

There are setting for how often you should be taking a fork serving, so if you take this seriously, it may well make a difference in how you eat and how your body handles the food that you eat. The HAPIfork collects information while you eat and will have the ability to transfer that information via bluetooth to your mobile device. Since this is a coming product, we will have to wait and see what the apps are for this.

The HAPIfork is expect to reach the market here in the US some time in the second quarter at an expected price of $99.99. They are also going to be selling the HAPISpoon as well in the future. Start saving your money for this one as it will make a difference in your life.
