For a study published in the British Medical Journal, researchers in Bristol, UK, used the Mandometer devise with 106 obese patients aged between 9 and 17 years. The Mandometer group was seen to have significantly lower BMI and body fat after 18 months than a group receiving standard care that focused on eating healthily and taking physical exercise.
They also ate smaller portions and ate more slowly.
"Mandometer therapy, focussing on eating speed and meal size, seems to be a useful addition to the rather sparse options available for treating adolescent obesity effectively without recourse to pharmacotherapy," wrote the study authors.
