Diet Fork
New diet dishes and flatware promise to make weight loss easier. But do some serve up self-hate instead?
The Diet Fork This sporklike utensil, Diet Fork, features tiny prongs that fit less food in every bite, forcing you to pace yourself. Coincidentally, a study from the University of Rhode Island at Kingston found eating slowly can help you consume less and enjoy your food more.
A fork that ups the yum factor for every meal while preventing overeating? That is cool! But would you ever use the Diet Fork? Are you going to carry the Diet Fork with you when you go out to eat? Probably not.
Personalized plate Customize your plate with a diet motto; write your own or select one of the sometimes shocking prefab versions “No seconds, fat ass” – hey, whatever works for you, but I think this one is a little mean.
The benefit of the 71/2-inch plate is its shrunken size; the typical dinner plate is 10 to 11 inches in diameter. Dining off a smaller dish can help you control your intake. But eating from a plate with a put-down? That is creepy! [via]

Great tip! I have a big problem with eating too fast and portion control. This could help me along that path. Thanks!
