[Efficacy of new devices for behavior modification therapy for obesity]

In the treatment of obesity, the behavior modification therapy has aimed at maintaining weight reduction by reforming wrong daily habitual eating behavior which leads obesity. However, a distorted cognitive pattern or a deviated physical lies behind the problematic eating behavior. In that aspect, we have developed new devices as belows. The ingestive behavioral questionnaire discloses problematic eating behavior and its related cognitive and sensational pattern at an early stage of the treatment. The charting of daily weight pattern is convenient for both therapist and patient himself to visually look out an actual ingestive pattern and reinforces maintenance of weight reduction by long term self-monitoring. The chewing chart recording is useful for the recovery of physical satiety sensation, and prevents over eating.
