&lt;br /&gt;
I cannot endorse this article of which I was the original writer; it has been modified to eliminate any mention of my invention which makes eating slowly a pleasant experience which helps acquire the habit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although I believe in eating slowly, doing this by using clumsy contraptions like the thing that reduces oral cavity and costs about $500&amp;nbsp; and a&amp;nbsp; plastic &quot;diet fork&quot;&amp;nbsp; that costs $8 is stupid. (The diet fork is a satire by the way).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyway, I was blocked out of wikiHow by a &lt;b&gt;&quot;Krystle&quot;&lt;/b&gt; which is apparently some kind of a &lt;b&gt;queen sovereign&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt; in &lt;b&gt;wikiHow&lt;/b&gt; for trying to return the article to its original context:which is:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;How to lose weight by eating slowly by making eating slowly a pleasant experience &lt;/b&gt;not a clumsy one. If that was the answer I could improve the article by adding: &quot;Wear boxing gloves at the table&quot;; but how can you reason with somebody that writes an article about milking goats and explains that you need one or more &lt;b&gt;female &lt;/b&gt;goats&amp;nbsp; or a guy whose user name is &lt;b&gt;&quot;maniac&quot;&lt;/b&gt; or another lady that explains &lt;b&gt;how to eat peanut butter&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;

Plates that make food tastier? We can prove it! Actually most people 
know that food gets cold and bland if you don&#39;t eat it fast; except on &lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;HotSmart Plates!.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;Serving food properly &lt;/b&gt;is serving it on&lt;b&gt; plates that keep food warm &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
I am thinking how to convey this information; I&#39;ll try a very simple approach: Serving food on normal ceramic plates is not serving food properly (Although it has been the only way available for centuries); ordinary plates steal the heat from food by conduction since food is hot and the plates are fresh. Nobody needs a thermodynamics lesson to understand this; also the food radiates heat and the moisture in the food suffers a change of phase from water to steam losing heat in the process; in sum there are heat losses by:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;Conduction&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Radiation&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Change of phase&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;In conclusion: &lt;/b&gt;If you want to enjoy hot food you need a means to keep adding heat to the food slowly to compensate for all the heat losses.&amp;nbsp; See the temperature chart below; a &lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;HotSmart Plate &lt;/b&gt;reaches maximum temperature several minutes after being taken out of the microwave oven (Delayed action to avoid overcooking or overheating the food), then releases heat &lt;b&gt;slowly &lt;/b&gt;using the &lt;b&gt;Stefan-Boltzmann law &lt;/b&gt;to compensate for all the heat losses.&lt;b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is an entirely new technology in ceramic plates &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;Remember: There is only one way to &lt;b&gt;serve food properly &lt;/b&gt;and that is : To serve it on a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/InstaHot-minute-PLUS-Hot-Plates/dp/B001VE1YM2&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;Heat Retentive Plate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;(I know you did not even know they existed, I invented them in El Paso, TX)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This is about a new serving rule that people will learn just by common sense and practice. What the heck am I talking about? I will give you a few examples:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Expectations change with technology advances &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Would you offer your guests warm beer? Everybody expects a cold beer, right? (Because everybody has refrigerators) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What about iced tea without ice? or warm? (Same as above)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Melted Ice cream?(Same) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Cold tortillas? For me that would not be impolite but an insult; (Every home has different means to heat up food; cold tortillas send a strong signal that you are not welcome) &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Lukewarm coffee?&amp;nbsp; (No good)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;I think you get the idea; there are certain expectations very well established:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Warm beer? you don&#39;t have a refrigerator? or you did not even bother to put the beers in the refrigerator before the party?&lt;br /&gt;
Cold tortillas?&amp;nbsp; No way &lt;br /&gt;
Would you serve food -A steak for instance- on a plate that will start getting it cold as soon as it is served?&lt;br /&gt;
If you are like most people...&lt;b&gt;You are doing it.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When you are dining at home, &lt;b&gt;do you preheat the plates for yourself and spouse?&lt;/b&gt; It is very complicated* or at least it used to be and hot plates are difficult to handle but Now there are &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hotsmartusa.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt;HotSmart Plates&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Why complicated? it takes too long, the handling is difficult and &lt;b&gt;preheated normal plates get cold very fast anyway&lt;/b&gt;. but now things have changed, see the...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Serving food properly &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;is serving it on a plate that keeps food warm&lt;/div&gt;

Now there is; a new type of plates designed for the first time in centuries to enhance the enjoyment of good food -Gourmet food- or simply put: &lt;b&gt;Good cooking&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;recipes&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
Please see the&lt;b style=&quot;color: red;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://draft.blogger.com/goog_178755112&quot;&gt;specifications &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: blue; text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/goog_97451839&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gourmet Plates also help prevent&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: right;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wikihow.com/Lose-Weight-by-Eating-Slowly&quot;&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;color: blue;&quot;&gt;overeating and obesity&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Other plates just start to get your food cold as soon as it is served on the plate; even if preheated which in turn causes handling problems, the food will be unpalatable after 5 minutes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you saw the &lt;b&gt;specs&lt;/b&gt;, now you know that HotSmart plates remain still hot after 30 minutes. See:&lt;br /&gt;
