Research: Mobile bite counters can promote weight loss
Mobile Bite Counters may assist with weight loss.
Chewing is the mechanism by which we mechanically crush and cut food. The act of chewing stimulates multiple physiologic responses to include increased release of digestive enzymes and a feeling of satiety. Prior research has shown that chewing slower and more increases satiety. It would make sense that using a bite counter might increase satiety if it encourages you to chew more and eat slower. The problem is there is limited research to back up this hypothesis.
