Diet Watch
First Claim
1. A diet watch comprising:
- a housing with an adjustable wristband attached thereto;
at least one accelerometer disposed within the housing for providing a signal indicative of an orientation of a user'"'"'s hand in space;
a microcontroller disposed within the housing and operatively coupled to the accelerometer for using the signal from the at least one accelerometer to determine that a bite was taken by the user and starting a timer to countdown a preset time interval; and
a feedback device operatively coupled to the microcontroller for providing an indication to the user that another bite of food may be taken after the preset time interval has elapsed.

Abstract
A diet watch includes a housing with an adjustable wristband attached thereto, at least one accelerometer disposed within the housing, a microcontroller disposed within the housing and operatively coupled to the accelerometer and a feedback device operatively coupled to the microcontroller. The accelerometer provides a signal indicative of an orientation of a user'"'"'s hand in space. The microcontroller uses the signal from the at least one accelerometer to determine that a bite was taken by the user and starting a timer to countdown a preset time interval. The feedback device provides an indication to the user that another bite of food may be taken after the preset time interval has elapsed.
