Mediterranean Diet: A “Diet Floor” to Control Your Weight

July 3, 2008 · Leave a Comment

Good morning to all of you,

 

Although health experts keep telling us that being overweight or obese is a risk factor for heart attacks, the truth is that sometimes it’s difficult not to make a few trips to the kitchen to “raid” the refrigerator. Well, here is an interesting and revolutionary idea to cope with that temptation: The Diet Floor.

 

Pep Torres, a Spanish technician, has developed “The Diet Floor”, a tile that you install in your kitchen floor, in front of your refrigerator. The invention has a sensor and a microchip that detects at what time you step on the tile, how many times you do it, for how long you remain on it, and your weight. In other words, this technology allows the tile to “know” if you are really dieting, if you spend too much time in front of your refrigerator, or if you visit your refrigerator too many times in a short amount of time.

 

Thus, if you step on the tile and remain there for more than, let’s say, 20 seconds, the device activates a message refreshing your memory that you are suppose to be dieting. The message is delivered by a relaxed female voice in a funny tone. She kindly reminds you that visiting the refrigerator too often can cause you to gain a few pounds.

 

The Diet Floor allows changing or deactivating the message if a member in the family is not dieting.

 

Interesting, isn’t it? I guess the human imagination has no limits.

 

Have a happy day without too many trips to your refrigerator.

 

Best to all of you,
