I just heard on TV that a dentist can make a device for you that is something like a retainer thing that fits in your upper mouth and when you eat you can only eat small bites and therefore you eat slower and then your body tells you it is full before it would have if you ate big bites really fast! Whew ! Anyway this dentist said they had done studies and people had lost an average of 10 lbs in a month. The device costs about $600. Don't think I'm nuts, I'm just the messenger.
