Found that it helped me to relax when eating, instead of just shoveling food in my face. Then started to see other people use chopsticks too - mostly non-Chinese. One day sat at Sizzlers and looked at the utensils there and wondered, "How many mouths have these been in?" Grabbed my chopsticks and ate my dinner. Used my own pocket knife to cut the steak, finished off using chopsticks. A few months later I left my chopsticks at home and was bummed. Used the eating utensils at the restaurant and the first thing I tasted was METAL. Ewww. Have since stuck an extra pair of chopsticks in every vehicle, backpack, etc. so I don't forget again. Food tastes better with chopsticks. Also a greta source of chopsticks is Everything Chopsticks @ www.everythingchopsticks.com whom I've been doing business with that last 7 years. * As for those that complain about chopsticks (and those that try to help others use them) they choose to be complainers. These types are often offended by everyday simple pleasures. Pity them, they lost before they began. Started using chopsticks a few years ago because it was something I always wanted to.

So you need to ask a Chinese person how to eat with chopsticks, because they are the only ones who use them? Then you are supposed to assume that all Asians are skinny? This is a spoof, right? The only thing that is correct is that if you eat slowly and less, then you will lose weight. I hate to be the one that is too serious on this page, but come on! This page is ridiculous.

If you cook rice in the asian style, so it somewhat sticks together, then you can eat LOTS and LOTS of rice. You don't "pick up" the rice. You use the chopsticks as a sort of shovel. “Rice is one of the best weight loss foods available,” he says. “And it’s hard to eat too much of it with chopsticks.”

Plenty of chunky asians out there. It's not the chopsticks that cause weight loss. It's the diet. I can tell you from personal experience that many people eat JUST AS FAST with chopsticks as with any other utensil...even sporks. The speed of eating is determined by the Force of chewing, the # of cycles per minute, and the rate of swallowing. All of which are excerpt to the state of hunger. Gotta disagree with this one.
