DE102009023283A1 - Method for weight reduction or body fat reduction for health prevention or cosmetic treatment in children, teenage and adults, involves recording general body deterministic data such as nutrition values of test person and personal data - Google Patents

Abstract

The method involves recording general body deterministic data such as nutrition values of the test person and personal data. The social and psychological parameters, including the self-perception of the test person with respect to exercise and nutrition and aspects of the motivation of the test person are recorded with the help of algorithm and selected operating figures are assigned.

Description

The The invention relates to a method for weight reduction and / or to reduce increased body fat levels Children, adolescents and adults. The combined process consists of a recording of all essential parameters of the subject and a correspondingly adapted to this physical stress and diet. This will be both the outer Appearance of persons by influencing the physical Proportions changed favorably, as well as the appearance the skin (reduction of orange skin), as well as the general physical and psychological well-being of the subjects strengthened.

The Procedure thus also causes an increase in performance the subject in which it is the prevention of diseases caused by obesity serves.

State of the art

At least in countries with a high standard of living has been around for a long time the problem of increasing obesity of the people known. Cause is the general scientific-technical Progress and the associated strong reduction of physical Activity of the people. It usually goes over an excessive Nutrition through cheap and high-calorie food and stimulants.

the Opposite is the ideal image of a slim person. It is proven to be a high obesity with high Body fat content negatively affects the psyche of humans. Furthermore, long-term illnesses are promoted, such as As diabetes mellitus, myocardial infarction, gout, joint wear and Life expectancy is reduced.

Generally Known methods for weight reduction are based on a dietary Nutrition. It is available in many variants, eg. With and offered without pharmaceutical additives. Independently of their insufficient effectiveness, the main disadvantage is that that very often involves the muscle mass of the body is degraded and so enters a yo-yo effect.

It Therefore, methods have been developed that are a combination of diet and physical training.

By a precise coordination of diet and increased calorie consumption by movement, the body fat content of the subject lowered, the muscle mass and thus the physical performance but at least received. To identify specific evidence for the diet and the exercise program is known essential physical data of the subject for to record a program like: weight, size, Age, sex, activity, blood pressure. A developed from it Program becomes the subject for his training and the diet and the results are monitored by technical means.

In the DE 10 2006 013 685 A1 discloses a method for improving the performance of persons. Focus is the calculation of training data and the control of the training success. Overall, the procedure consists of 14 individual modules. In block 1, in addition to the usual personal data, the daily energy turnover is determined. In block 2 the body fat percentage is defined. On this basis, the further specifications are calculated in advance and the training values are determined.

From the EP 1588659 is a method for monitoring a diet success known. It is based on known body values, here referred to as Wo, and there are given a target value and the training and diet program associated with a diet aid. At certain intervals, the current body values are recorded and used to derive new target values.

According to the DE 19914104 For example, in a fat-and-protein dieting process, some of the subject's psychological factors are taken into account when determining the diet. This is done indirectly via the determination of the so-called stimulus intake of the subject. The stimulus power balance is determined by 14 types of stimulation in conjunction with a factor k and the exposure time t. During the diet the stimulus intake is determined and deviations of the stimulus balance are compensated. The stimuli are triggered by activities of the subject, such as working, sleeping, buying, smoking, etc.

Either the selection and evaluation of the stimulus types as well as their compensation are not determined as to the effect on the subject. The possible different reactions to the stimuli and their processing by the subject remain completely unconsidered.

Even though a variety of methods for weight loss and improvement physical fitness are known the successes achieved are unsatisfactory. It is to be noted that even if one of these methods is used successfully positive results are predominantly kept short-term can. Cause is obvious that the subject the Defaults does not permanently comply, so the required Lifestyle not internalized.

Object of the invention

task Therefore, the invention is a method for weight reduction and / or body fat reduction for health prevention and cosmetic treatment of children, adolescents and adults to create a reduction in body weight sure which will be effective in the longer term, in which the programs for weight loss and / or body fat reduction individually tailored to the subjects, including the psychic Conditions and the social environment of the subject considered be and carry out the programs with technical Funds are given and controlled.

According to the invention solved the task according to the features of claim one.

After that in the process, the generally bodily determined Data, such as dietary values of the subject and personal Data collected.

Farther Become essential social as well as psychological parameters, including from the self-perception of the subject with regard to his movement and nutrition, as well as aspects of the subject's motivation using algorithms to capture and select metrics assigned. In addition, over a longer Phase that movement and nutritional behavior of the subject using adapted motion sensors and photos of the recorded Food detected. All data collected will be with one for it implemented software prepared and stored and on this Based on an individual training and diet program for the subject worked out, agreed with him and applied to him specified.

The Carrying out the training and dieting activities be in turn by means of motion sensors on the subject and with Photographs of the food taken and, if necessary, timed with the recordings of the subject and the stored training and diet program, as well as required adjustments performed.

With this, with an acceptable additional effort to be implemented process steps will be an optimal adaptation of the training and diet program allows for the personality of the subject. The person can therefore identify with it and compliance the programs will be improved.

With the objective monitoring carried out by the Movements and diet of the subject through special Technology not only controls compliance with the programs, but are also differences of perception of the subject opposite uncovered the reality.

The Process steps ultimately also strengthen motivation of the subject, indicating the longer-term success rate of the procedure significantly increases.

The Claims 2 to 4 preferably contain parameters to be evaluated to determine key figures of the subject.

According to one Preferred embodiment according to claim 2 the diet and eating habits of the subject with the help captured by algorithms and general metrics assigned in terms of frequency and speed, Food and beverage types, calories ingested, as well as any eating disorders.

With The findings can be determined by the nutrition programs be optimized to the person of the subject.

Corresponding a favorable embodiment of the method according to claim 3, the psychological parameters of the subject with the help of Algorithms recorded and assigned to generally valid key figures, especially with regard to the weight and the figure, the weight and weight gain, intelligence and stress management.

With The findings can be used to assess the nutritional and training programs on the psychological characteristics of the Subjects are matched.

According to one Preferred embodiment according to claim 4 The social parameters of the subject are recorded using algorithms and generally valid metrics associated with, in particular as regards his social environment, the area of his socially determined Life, preferably in the family, his education and leisure activities and his professional and non-professional activities.

in the Claim 7 is proposed that for detection and influencing the food photograph taken by the subject is used especially a camera phone.

These technical variants hinders the subject only slightly and provide sufficiently accurate values. The use of a mobile phone is common practice and does not hinder the subject. At the same time the data transfer to the central data processing system allows.

According to one preferred embodiment according to claim 8 the recorded data and treatment programs in a central Data processing system stored and there is a data exchange over the internet with suitable technical equipment, such as a PC, PDA or Internet-enabled mobile phone of the subject.

The Programs of DVA not only save the general physical Determined data and personal nutritional values of the test person, but also calculate the coefficients determined by algorithms. These generally valid key figures become available Standard programs varies.

The Data transmission from and to the subject can be achieved through the device technology the internet, so that a personal contact is not required.

Corresponding a favorable embodiment of the method according to claim 9 can be the training and diet program for the Subjects are individually varied, especially in terms of the type of movement and intensity of movement, the nutritional content and the ratio of exercise volume to diet, motivational stimulation, and monitoring of training and diet in a specific time frame.

These great variability allows for optimal Adaptation of the procedure to the personality of the subject. This affects especially children and adolescents, as well as mentally disturbed Adults. The long-term success rate can be significant be increased.

example

following the method should be explained by an example.

Of the Subject is a teenager with a high weight. He is therefore in terms of performance in physical education and impaired at leisure. His outer Appearance also hinders a normal relationship to his classmates. The overweight is mainly due to the wrong diet for family reasons.

To record the relevant for the process physical data, these are diagnostically ermit The nutritional values and physical activities are determined by interrogation and the data thus obtained are stored.

Special questionnaires to determine the social and psychological environment contain tables to determine the motivation of the subject. Standardized questions and answers allow a meaningful scoring. As examples, three question algorithms are listed.
Table 1, Algorithm to Parent / Family,
Table 2, Weight Development and Physical Activity,
Table 3, subjective attitude to personal weight.

In Tables 1 and 2 are positive factors with a higher Score linked. Table 3 shows the scores derived from the answer pattern. From the scores arise by adding the key figures for the respective status area, which are saved accordingly.

Subsequently the subject receives a cell phone with motion sensors and a corresponding program for evaluation, as well as a photo assembly with image memory. For 1 week, the subject must use the phone to guide you to grasp the range of motion and to photograph the intake of food. The data can via radio network or directly to central data acquisition and evaluated there.

Out The recorded indexes will be a specific training and diet program derived.

There in this example, as most of the time, eating habits negatively influenced by the parents, the program is in the first phase carried out stationary.

The Realization of the training and diet program will be like described above, for a long time with the help of a Mobile phones monitored. The determined values are then with compared to the standardized programs. There are no bigger ones Deviations, can from the teenager the further program points in the Parental home, or be implemented in the area of residence.
