Design is a strong instrument for changing our habits, including eating habits. More and more studies are coming out on how design can be used to fight overweight problems. Nowadays more than 30% of the world’s population suffer from overweight. There are many different methods out there on how to fight overweight and design is one of them.
What is it?
Heavy cutlery set (spoon, fork and a knife) is created contrary to regular cutlery. The cutlery set is created to slow down eating process, but at the same time to still be functional based in form design and aesthetics. One of the cutlery weighs more than a kilo (based on the knowledge that a human hand can comfortably handle 1.5 kg).
How does it work?
How does it work? After a search of different forms, testing, interviews, this cutlery set has been created to help loose weight or to change eating habits for everybody who wants it, even for you. By eating fast, overeating occurs leading to obesity. By eating a large amount of food very fast, the mind thinks that it has been little, because it takes time for the body to understand that a sufficient amount of food has already been taken. A meal should be taken within 20 min as the fastest, so that the body reaches satiety. By using the heavy cutlery to change eating habits, also the body can change into a positive direction. Thus by using this cutlery set, your eating process is increased.
But that's not all...
But that’s not all... The deflections have been made in the form in a way, that fingertips can comfortably fit into them as the grip is important so that this cutlery could be used for eating. It is easy to hold them in the palm contrary to usual cutlery that is taken between the thumb and index finger, thus the heavy cutlery provides an ergonomic solution. Moreover, they are created in a way in which stopping points against a surface do not cause rolling down.
