There have been multiple studies since 2002 showing that your body can react negatively if you eat too fast.<\/p>\n<p>Some results of these studies, taken from the website <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">https:\/\/www.hapi.com\/product\/hapifork<\/span>, show:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Weight gain<\/strong>: as during the meal, satiety is felt after about 20 minutes. The faster you eat, the more you eat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Digestive problems<\/strong>: food that is eaten too quickly is often poorly chewed. The work of the digestive tract is made more difficult.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Gastric reflux<\/strong>: several studies have shown that the faster one eats, the more likely the possibility of gastric reflux.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Postoperative complications<\/strong>: eating more slowly lessens the stress on weakened tissues.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The HAPIfork is not going to zap you if you eat too quickly, but there is an alarm and a mobile app to help you slow down and track your results.<\/p>\n<p>Speed eaters, this fork will have you driving in the slow lane.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4310\" src=\"http:\/\/www.personaltrainersindallas.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/hapifork_horizontal-e1430316798487-630x135.jpg\" alt=\"hapifork\" width=\"630\" height=\"135\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Check out the HAPIfork for yourself or as a gift: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hapi.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.hapi.com\/<\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>We have not been compensated for any endorsements and are not affiliates of this product in any way. <\/em><\/span><span style=\"color: #999999;\"><em>We just thought it was a neat tool to share with our readers.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speed eaters, there&#8217;s a new fork in the road!
