Mandomter- Childhood Obesity Computer

Mandometer- Childhood Obesity Computer

This new machine called the mandometer is helping those suffering from childhood obesity. It does everything from weighing food to encouraging kids to eat food one bite at a time. There are a bunch of scales that connect to a plate with his food and the scales can feel when he/she removes food, and the mandometer comments based on the speed and amount a child eats. About 120 kids are taking part in this study by the Childhood Obesity Clinic at the Bristol Royal Hospital for Children. Laurence Wilshire lost over 5 stone in only one year with the Mandometer, which is quite an accomplishment!


Ironically enough the mandometer was made in Sweden for anorexics, in an effort to help them eat more! A simple reprogram and boom, now you have an anti-obesity tool!

Re: Mandomter- Childhood Obesity Computer

That's a neat machine

A stone is like 21 or 22 lbs? right? So that's just about 100 lbs! Wow!

I believe it's 14lbs for 1 stone, but that is still a lot of weight loss!

Re: Mandomter- Childhood Obesity Computer

Sounds like a really neat program. I'm glad it's been able to help people, even those suffering from anorexia.
