Abstract
A weight control method utilizes an electronic counting device. A counter in the device is incremented each time an input element is actuated or activated upon taking a bite of a comestible material. The counting device automatically provides an alert signal to the user upon attainment of a predetermined bite number in the counter. A display, such as a touch screen or an LCD or LED display provides a predetermined message depending on the number of bites recorded in the counter.
