Compared to slow-eaters, fast-eater men are 84% more likely to be overweight, and women are just over twice as likely. Fast eating also stretches stomach and make it larger, which causes to eat more and more. But its not easy to control oneself about eating slow. Slow Down analyzes eating speed according to weight & frequency of bites taken from plate, and inform/warn the user by lights. It acts as reminder in short term and trainer in long term.
