Link: Japan tries ‘cell phone diet’
With cell phones ubiquitous in Japan and rising concern over expanding waistlines, health care providers have put two-and-two together to help the weight-conscious send photos of their meals to nutritionists for analysis.
The concept is only on a test run for now, and one little drawback is that dieters have to wait three days to find out how much damage they did by eating the meal they just photographed.

My girlfriend is one of London’s top nutritionists and has also been enhancing her offering by using mobile and web technology. She is already using the iTAGG system to send daily text alerts to clients to remind them to fill in and send her their food diaries. And she will soon too be using us for exactly the above service whereby clients send in MMS of their meals.
Ok Emily may be biased in her choice of supplier
but she has seen a 100% increase in completed food diaries being returned - the alternative for her is to chase and call clients constantly, very time consuming and costly.
