October 26 2012School children at risk of losing control over body weight.
Mandometer researchers examined how 11-13 year old children eat their school lunch. Although the lunch break is 45 minutes long, the children have so little time to eat their lunch that they eat almost twice as quickly as they would normally do. The shortage of time makes children eat in a manner similar to that of obese patients and patients with eating disorders. The school lunch must be scheduled to allow the children time enough to eat their lunch in a relaxed manner, or they might lose control and develop health problems.

May 21 2012Mandometer Researchers solved the Obesity Problem
While it is easy to lose some weight, it is virtually impossible to keep it off. Australian researchers (1) have figured out why. Obese patients dieted for eight weeks and, as expected, they lost some weight. At the same time, however, ghrelin, a hunger hormone, increased and PYY, a satiety hormone, increased in their blood. These hormonal changes persisted over more than a year and this is why people who are on a diet feel hungry all the time. To prevent obesity, these hormonal changes should be targeted, suggested the Australians.
Mandometer researchers (2) solved the problem because the hormonal changes that put you at risk are prevented if patients learn to eat using Mandometer.
Using Mandometer is easy and has no unwanted side effects. Quite the opposite, you regain control over your hormones and lose weight without feeling hungry!
