First Claim
Patent Images
1. An activity-based weight control system, including:
- a sensor for monitoring the physical activity of a user;
a computer coupled to the sensor to;
compute information representative of a caloric expenditure of the user during a past time period as a function of the monitored physical activity; and
compute information representative of a caloric allowance for a future time period as a function of the caloric expenditure during the past time period; and
a display device coupled to the control device for providing the user with information representative of the caloric allowance for the future time period.

Abstract
An activity-contingent weight loss method and system. The system includes measuring information representative of caloric expenditure during one day, and prescribing a caloric allowance for the following day as a function of the caloric expenditure during the previous day.
