Seattle, WA--May 27, 2004--A New Behavior Modification Tool to Reduce Food Intake

Medical device-maker Scientific Intake of Atlanta, has designed a retainer-like device that it says promotes weight loss by forcing people to take smaller bites.

The DDS System is created using a mold of the mouth, which is made by a dentist and shipped to the company, which produces the custom-fitted plastic device. The manufacturers chief executive says the smaller bites help the wearer to eat slowly, giving the brain more time to recognize when the stomach is full and making wearers feel satisfied on less food and says he lost 14 pounds simply by wearing it off and on over five months. Fast eaters can do a lot of caloric damage before putting down the fork.

Critics have dismissed the gadget as a temporary solution, arguing that a baby spoon could accomplish the same thing; however, at a recent meeting of diabetes and obesity experts, the company touted results of a study finding that 24 overweight individuals who wore the device intermittently for a month lost an average of almost six pounds. The device” which hit the market May 17th” sells for around $400 +.
