ABSTRACT:
An integrated system of collecting data and reporting results, enabling an understanding of weight control and weight loss. The first embodiment of the invention is for a method of estimating an individual's baseline normal activities calories. The second embodiment of the invention is a method for the individual to plan and forecast weight loss goals. The third embodiment of the invention enables the individual to record estimates of weight and food calories and exercise calories constructing his own weight loss database. The individual's calories density is measured and is used to increase plan and forecast accuracy. A graphical representation of the data enables the individual to detect body water shifts, weight plateauing and resting metabolic rate changes so as to enable the individual to know the reasons why the individual is losing or not losing weight. The system organizes the data to minimize the impact of errors in the data while maximizing the data's information value. The system uses the individual's own body in a closed loop approach as its own calorimeter.
