  • Patent number: 5666104
    Abstract: A device for monitoring the volume of food consumed during a meal includes a sensor and a belt. The sensor includes a sensor housing, an alarm, and an activation switch operatively connected to the alarm; and the belt is adapted to be worn about the waist of a user, and is operatively connected to the sensor, such that a predetermined tensile force applied to the belt, caused by the consumption of food by the user, activates the switch, and in turn, activates the alarm. Preferably, the sensor includes a delay circuit connected between the activation switch and the alarm such that the tensile force must be applied continuously for a desired time interval before the alarm is activated.
