I am not a fast eater, but I don't chew as thoroughly as I should. I found a free app called Eat Slower that I have been using for a couple of days and it has really helped me. I put my measured out portions on a small plate and use my baby spoon; I set my Eat Slower interval for 45 seconds. A bell rings and the scrren says BITE, and you take a bite, chew, chew, chew and swallow, then after 45 seconds the bell will ring again for another bite.

Has worked well for me so far. I am taking a lot longer to chew and savor my food.

I've always been a fast eater too.

I've been using this app since I got to the puree'd food stage. I set mine to 30 seconds and it really helps me slow down!

Great pointer! For some reason I won't stop eating too fast! You would think the pain that comes with it would force me to think and slow down the next time but it happens again and again! I'll try this.

LOL! The image of you waiting for the bell to ring to take the next bite just cracks me up, but it's probably exactly what I need, too! Thanks so much for sharing this :)
