Japanese people are dieting via cell phone

japanese cell phone dietingWe've already psoted about American cell phone companies offering a service to their customers that allows them to communicate with a diet advisor via their cell phones, and now, there is a rising concern in Japan about expanding waistlines, so they're doing the same thing.

People who participate in the program send photos to a diet and nutrition expert via their cell phone cameras. The experts analyze their dietary intake and send results back to the participants within three days, along with advice.

Like I said before in the post about Sprint's service, this seems a "little too late." Getting information after you've already eaten a 10,000 calorie burger with a side of super size fries that you probably shouldn't have done that seems futile. Wouldn't it be better if you sent a picture of your rare steak dripping with blue cheese butter and have an instant text message reply that says "No!"
