Eat yourself fitter with dumbbell cutlery

Brits will now be able to tone up as they eat thanks to the launch of a bizarre new cutlery set.

The Eat Fit Cutlery set attaches dumbbells to a knife, fork and spoon, reports Metro.

The hefty chrome knife and fork weigh 1kg each - the equivalent of a bag of sugar.

And the spoon weighs twice as much at 2kg - heavier than a complete 32-piece set of stainless steel cutlery.

Eat Fit Cutlery, which costs £89.99 for a three piece set, is said to be aimed at "gluttons in need of a work out".

A spokeswoman for Firebox, which developed the products, said: "This cutlery and dumbbell mix is designed for fitness fans with a sense of humour."
