Japan Tries 'Cell Phone Diet'

You can count on your cell phone to have diet.

What do you need for a diet-buster?

In the United States, some restaurants could give you a calorie count. But in Japan, you can count on your cell phones. How come?

Public health insurance offices in the Osaka region in western Japan have launched a trial of a dieting service that allows users to take photos of their meals with their cameraphones and get expert advice about their diet.

The concept is only on a test run for now, and one little drawback is that dieters have to wait three days to find out how much damage they did by eating the meal they just photographed.
