ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for controlling a person's eating behavior uses a counter on the table next to the food being eaten. The counter displays the number of bites to be taken at each meal, displays the actual number of bites while the bites are being taken during a meal, provides a cadence signal from which the person can pace his chewing rate, determines the size of the bite taken and the time between bites, and provides an exercise between bites which forces the person to break the eating chain by pushing a button to increment the counter.
