Fresh Apps - iPhone Apps & iPod Touch Apps.

The Right Bite app is a unique dieting system that help you lose weight by simply making you pay attention to how fast you are eating. This eating “technique” is based around a scientific principle that the slower you eat the sooner you feel “full”, causing you to stop eating sooner and gain benefit from thoroughly chewed up food. This is a great idea for people like me, that will put away a meal and be on seconds before some people at the table are done seasoning their firsts. The truth is that this will be an asset to those that want to lose weight and a tremendous boost to those already on a food “type” restricting diet.

The Right Bite Pros:

The Right Bite allows the user to set intensity levels to increase intervals between bites. This is great because it give you a plan. Most diets fail because there is no goal or end in sight. The Right Bite has levels all the way from Beginner to Extreme making this diet one that I see myself using to lose weight. The app has a visible timer and a nice message that tells you to “enjoy“. As silly as it sounds, it is nice to see a positive message when in most diets today “don’t eat this” is a catch phrase. The app rings a bell and vibrates to tell you when the time is up and you are ready to take another bite. Both of these function can be turned off so, when you are at the olive garden, the person in the booth behind you doesn’t throw your iPhone across the room.

The Right Bite Cons:

The app functions great. The only thing that I can think of that would make this app better is some weight tracking capabilities. A simple log that translates into a graph would help me to remain interested in this program long term. If I could see my daily or weekly progression I could determine if this is helpful in my efforts to lose weight.

This is a unique idea that is almost common sense. If this app doesn’t help you lose weight, at least it will give you an opportunity to lift your head up from your plate and have a conversation to your dining partners. This is a truly good buy that will be useful for losing weigh and maintaining that weight loss.

Pros:

- Levels of intensity
- Positive message
- Tones and vibrations to tell you when to take a bite

Cons:

- No weight tracking capabilities

I give this app a 9/10 for usefulness and uniqueness,
