Thursday, May 20, 2004An Atlanta company plans to begin selling a dental device that fits in your mouth and forces you to take smaller bites. It could help you lose weight -- as long as you actually use it when you eat. The gadget isn't permanently attached, so you can leave it out and wolf down big bites anytime you want. It costs $400. The CEO of the company says he's lost 14 pounds in five months with it. But consider this. With the help of my McDonald's stepometer and the calorie values on food labels, I've lost five pounds in seven days. That's not so bad. And it's a heck of a lot cheaper. (I've fallen short of my goal of eating only 1200 calories a day and walking ten miles, too, so the weight loss could have been better if I had more discipline.) posted by Sydney on 5/20/2004 09:37:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
