"Devices"
If you want to lose weight, eat slower. If you want to eat slower, take smaller bites. (This from the woman who can make a piece of cheesecake last for 30 minutes).
Why? Because the slower you eat, the simpler it is for your "full" mechanisms to kick in. Drinking a bunch of water with dinner will aid you, too.
Why on earth does Heather feel she needs to state the obvious at 7:00 a.m. on a Thursday? Because now there's a "device" to aid you with the smaller-bite quest.
How silly is this? It's pretty silly. You see, the problem can be solved with a knife and fork in most cases. CNN gives you a good pun, though.
Chew on that.

But Scientific Intake believes its DDS System is more palatable than a strict diet or surgery. The company expects to begin selling its devices Wednesday for about $400 apiece.More palatable. Yeah, I think I could buy a lot of good knives for accurate small bites for $400.
Chew on that.

I agree with you in principle, although I can see how the act of sinking $400 into the device might give people the motivation to stick with a small-bite regime.

I do that with avocado. Love it.
A better solution to the eating slower problem is, I think, to put your fork down between bites. It takes a lot of work and concentration at first, but you start to enjoy your food more after it becomes a habit.
