  1. aNFC no feedback condition, VFC vibrotactile feedback condition, VFC+ vibrotactile + visual feedback condition
  2. T1: baseline measurement before the intervention period; T2: follow-up measurement directly after the intervention period; T3: follow-up measurement eight weeks after the intervention period. During these five-day measurement periods, subjects were instructed to eat as many meals as possible with the 10sFork, with all feedback switched off
