Knife and Fork Lift Review & Giveaway

I finally received this "gadget" as it has had been back ordered due to more press than one can imagine. From News programs, to the Today Show, and even Ellen. Being apart of those who have reviewed this item already, I am honored.

So what exactly is this little, yet heavy, "gadget"? It's called Knife and Fork Lift. Simply put, it's a metal dumbbell with a knife and a fork attached. The purpose? To slow your eating and make you conscious of your food decisions. As you eat with a 1.5 pound piece of silverware in the shape of a dumbbell, you will constantly be reminded of your workout earlier in the day or the one you have yet to complete. You will also be thinking about the bad food choices you make, which weigh you down, just like your silverware. Again helping you make healthier food choices.

They honestly seem much heavier than 1.5 pounds. I chalk this up to your brain playing tricks on you. If you were to pick up a dumbbell in the gym, at 1.5 pounds, you would think it's extremely light weight. But to pick up your fork at 1.5 pounds, your brain automatically tells you it's too heavy to be silverware. At least this was my experience. Do I really think you are going to build muscles while you eat? Not really. Is it a good reminder to watch what you eat and remember those workouts? Yes, for sure.

This is the actual size of the knife and fork, as it's hard to determine on their site. (They are positioned on a standard size dinner plate.) Being made of stainless steel, I would not recommend tossing them in the dishwasher. I would make these hand wash only. I was also told by the company they are not recommended with glass table tops. Drop one of these suckers and goodbye table.

What a great gift for a fitness junkie to be a constant reminder of the choices they make. Give them to a friend and tell them how proud you are of their weight loss and you support them.
