This information is collected and then uploaded via USB or Bluetooth to your HAPI account accessible on the Online Dashboard & Mobile App both compatible with iOS and Android phones.
The HAPIfork measures:
- How long it took you to finish off your meal.
- The number of times you brought the fork down from your plate up to your mouth.
- Intervals between forkfuls.
Originally the HAPIfork was developed for clinical and medical use, but the HAPIfork has today become a must-have smart utensil that can be used by everyone. Since 2002, a series of scientific studies have highlighted the negative side-effects of eating too quickly:
Weight Gain:
during a meal, it takes an average of 20 minutes for our body to feel satiety or the feeling of had eaten enough to satisfy. The faster you eat, the more you eat, and overeating is the number one reason for unwanted weight gain.
Digestive and Gastric Problems: when food is eaten faster than the stomach can break it down, it opens the door up to a host of digestive and gastric problems such as:
- GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease)
- Bloating
- Heartburn
- Gas
The best and simplest way to lose weight and keep a happy stomach whilst enjoying every meal of the day. HAPIfork: Eat slowly, lose weight, feel great!
