Breaking bad habits isn’t easy, especially if that bad habit is eating unhealthy foods or consuming too much junk food. If you want to lose a few pounds and try to kick that unhealthy habit of eating too much junk food, this ‘shocking’ bracelet is for you! This bracelet will actually shock you if you try and eat junk food.
The Pavlok bracelet will help you refrain from bad behaviors with a few painful zap treatments. The bracelet doesn’t just help you break an unhealthy eating habit, it will help with a ton of bad habits, such as smoking, over sleeping and even biting your nails.
The Pavlok will deliver a 350-volt electric shock whenever you step out of line or when you do something you aren’t supposed to be doing. It serves as a gentle reminder to refrain from bad habits.
The bracelet will also pair with a phone app, so you and your friends can zap one another when one of you attempts to give in to your bad habit. Or just shock your friends for fun!
According to the manufacturer:
Pavlok allows you to speak your reptile brain’s language by adding an unpleasant element (a safe and harmless ‘zap’ of electricity on your wrist) to what you have been taught to love (your nasty lingering habit), quickly conditioning your mind to associate an ‘unpleasant’ feeling with your bad habit… and stopping it all together.
The inventor also told ABC News:
It feels like if you were to touch a doorknob after rubbing your socks on the carpet.
There’s a real power in using a little bit of pain to help you break your bad habits.
Some reviews on the product do criticize the product, but many of the reviews are positive and seem to state that the bracelet did in fact help them break a bad habit.
