“Doctors have a new weapon in the battle to beat obesity – a talking plate that tells people not to bolt their food. The Mandometer monitors the amount of food leaving the plate and tells users who gobble: ‘Please eat more slowly.’ Now the £1,500 Swedish device is to be used in an NHS initiative to help hundreds of obese families lose weight. Professor Julian Hamilton-Shield, who is leading the initiative, said obese children and adolescents using the Mandometer ate from 12 to 15 per cent less per meal at the end of the 12-month trial. Six months after they stopped using the device they still ate less and continued to lose weight.”
