App: Slow Eats: Mindful Weight Loss
Developer: Shannon Bolick
Genres: Health & Fitness, Utilities

*Apple Watch not required, works for iPhone or Apple Watch*

Slow Eats is a timer app designed to help you slow down and stay mindful during meals, fostering a healthier connection with food and supporting weight loss. With its simple functionality and clean design, Slow Eats offers a user-friendly experience that is both easy to navigate and highly effective. 

Slow Eats works in the background which means you can set your timer and then keep your phone in your pocket for the rest of the meal while it discreetly vibrates you to alert you when to eat or take a break. 

Slow Eats works with just your iPhone or you can download the Apple Watch app for an even more low-profile and seamless experience. 

Eating slowly has many possible benefits:
    ● Promotes weight loss by giving your brain more time to receive fullness signals
    ● Helps you better absorb the nutrients in your food
    ● Improves digestion
    ● Makes you feel calmer and more in control
    ● Increases your enjoyment of food

Choose between three types of timers:
    ● Bite Timer: Slow down how fast you eat by creating a set pause between each bite.
    ● Meal Timer: Slow down how fast you eat by defining set eating and break windows during your meal.
    ● Seconds Timer: Create a mindful pause before you get more. Give yourself time to feel full before deciding you need more.

~ What users are saying about the app ~

"I’ve never written an app review before, but I need to write one for this app. I got an Apple Watch and was determined to use it to lose weight. Between closing my rings and using this app, I have lost over 25 lbs. Even more important than any one accomplishment: it helped heal my unhealthy relationship with food."

"I eat way too fast. I get hungry and just smash my dinner every day and then often feel bad from over eating. This app is exactly what I was looking for. It’s simple, it’s easy to use, and it works. I love how I don’t have to watch a timer I just wait for the tap on my wrist. I’m already building healthier eating habits by using this app. THANK YOU!!"

"Have been trying to slow down and be able to better listen to my fullness cues when I eat! This watch app does the trick!"

"I tell anyone who will listen how much I love this app. I have the icon on my watch face and I use it for every meal and snack. So easy to use and it has helped me so much as I’ve been trying to slow down while eating. Another bonus is that the developers are so responsive and helpful! Hands down my favorite app!"

"I enjoyed dinner tonight utilizing the bite timer. It was amazing how quickly I got full and how easy it was to stop when I was comfortable and not when I had pushed my pouch to its limit and felt sick for an hour or so as I have in the past. Just bringing my awareness to how I was eating has me starting out from a great place as I try to lose my regain."
