Eating fast isn't ideal, you need to take
time to appreciate your food, and chew
it. It sounds old-fashioned, but it's been
established that overweight people eat
faster than leaner individuals."
Obesity is the biggest threat to global
health today according to the World
Health Organisation. Granit says, "There
are lots of food, fitness and blood glucose
trackers but there are few actual nutrition
trackers. BitBite is about tracking nutrition,
although it is not a medical device. It works
based on the sounds your jaw makes
when you eat or drink. The earpiece
collects information from the jaw and
separates and distinguishes it from other
sounds, such as music or conversation
or street noise. The information gained is
how much you are eating, where you are
eating, how many bites and how many
chews. It can therefore help you address
bad eating habits. If you are interested in
weight-loss, it can help you reach your
goal, because the app gives you smiley
faces when you are doing well making it
fun to use, so should help with motivation
to help you get healthier."
