DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a diet management method, particularly a diet management method for a diabetic patient, which is used for self-management of a diet therapy, a food exchange card used for the same, and an instruction unit management combining these. Regarding cards.

Premise of the Invention Diet is one of the basic treatments for diabetes. This should be done daily as directed by your physician in order to treat properly and maintain your health.
It is important to continue for a long time. Such dietary treatment is based on the appropriate total amount of energy that can be consumed in one day, which is uniquely designated in consideration of the patient's medical condition. It is performed according to instructions on how to allocate lunch, dinner and snacks. These instructions are generally based on the “Food Exchange Table for Diabetic Diet” (hereinafter “Food Exchange Table”) published by Bunkodo Co., Ltd.
The indicated amount of energy in one day is converted into the number of units with 0 calories as one unit, and is shown. This is referred to as "indicating unit for one day". This "food exchange table" is divided into six food groups according to the nutrients contained in many food groups and listed as Tables 1 to 6, and the attending physician or dietitian can determine the eating habits and Guidance is given with a meal instruction sheet in which the instruction units of the day are allocated to each table while taking into account taste and nutritional balance.

However, a part of the meal is eaten as food, and in order to know whether or not the meal is well-balanced in nutrition and in accordance with the indicated energy amount, one of the meals is required. It is necessary to analyze the food contained in each product and its weight, and then calculate the weight of each food using the “food exchange table”, which is extremely troublesome and troublesome, It was a difficult task to continue. Many patients cannot strictly adhere to the indicated amount of energy, much less care about the nutritional balance, that is, the number of units assigned to Tables 1 to 6 in the “Food Exchange Table”. Was the current situation. In this way, the patient knows the instruction unit of the day, but since there is no way to distribute it to three meals in a well-balanced manner, for example, the items eaten for breakfast or lunch after eating are converted using the “food conversion table”. As a result, the fact that items that can be eaten for dinner are lost or biased has often been the reality.

Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the current situation, and displays a food item corresponding to each food group corresponding to the desired number of cards on a card meaning a desired number of units. By creating a food exchange card that has been made and combining these in accordance with the instruction unit of the day and holding them collectively, a diet management method for a diet that can easily and easily perform own diet management, and An object of the present invention is to provide a food exchange card to be used and an instruction unit management card group combining the same.

In order to achieve the above object, a diet management method for diet according to the present invention comprises a food exchange card having an identification form associated with a food group classified in a food exchange table. An appropriate number is prepared for each type. On this food replacement card, one or more food names and / or pictorial figures classified into the corresponding food group are displayed together with a reference amount corresponding to the number of units per sheet. Keep it. Then, from the card group, an instruction unit management card group in which an instruction unit of the subject is selected and combined in an appropriate number according to the number of units optimally allocated to each of the food groups, is collectively held,
By releasing the required number of cards corresponding to the number of units of the food group ingested for each meal from the group of instruction unit management cards held in batch, the meal instruction of the instruction unit for one day was obtained. Meal management is done on a daily basis. The food exchange card used in this meal management method includes a card having an identification form associated with a food group classified in the food exchange table, and one or more foods classified in the corresponding food group. And / or a pictorial diagram together with a standard amount corresponding to the number of units per sheet. Then, from the food exchange card composed of a large number of these, an appropriate number is selected and combined in accordance with the number of units optimally allocated to each of the food groups, and the indication unit of the subject can be attached and detached. What is managed by the collective holding means and made portable is the instruction unit management card group.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Next, a specific embodiment of a food exchange card used in the above-mentioned diet management method for diet management and a group of instruction unit management cards obtained by combining these cards and a diet for diet therapy using the same will be described. Specific examples of the management method will be described in detail with reference to each table and drawings. FIG.
FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an instruction unit management card group according to the embodiment. 1 is a food exchange card (hereinafter abbreviated as "card"), which is made of a plastic thin plate, a durable paperboard,
Alternatively, using a member such as a metal plate, it is formed in a size that does not hinder carrying. The card has an engagement hole 10 for engagement at one end, and has an identification form associated with a food group classified in the “food exchange table”. This identification form is formed by, for example, variously different coloring, variously different contour shapes, or a combination thereof, or a card having an appropriate cut or projection formed thereon. The identification mode of the present embodiment is performed by separate coloring corresponding to six food groups of Tables 1 to 6 described in the “food exchange table”. Specifically, the food groups (cereals, potatoes, beans) in Table 1 are colored “white”, the food groups in Table 2 (fruits) are colored “orange”, and the food groups in Table 3 ( seafood,
"Blue" for meat, eggs, soybeans, "Red" for the food groups in Table 4 (milk, dairy products), and for the food groups in Table 5 (oils, greasy foods) Are colored “yellow” and “green” for the food groups (vegetables, seaweed, mushrooms, konjac) in Table 6, respectively. Then, on the surface of the card, a guide amount corresponding to the number of units per one sheet is described along with one or more kinds of food names and / or picture diagrams classified into each food group. For example, in the white card 1 corresponding to Table 1 of the “food exchange table”, as representative examples of the foods included in this food group, the following table lists the food names and several reference amounts. .

[Table 1] In addition, Table 1 shows the standard amount to be described in two cases and three units in consideration of the number of units per sheet. In addition, each color card 1 corresponding to Tables 2 to 5 of the “food exchange table” includes:
A food name and a guide amount corresponding to an appropriate number of units (for example, 0.5 unit, 1 unit, 1.4 unit, etc.) meaning per one sheet are described. For example, those shown in Tables 2 to 5 below.

[Table 2]

[Table 3]

[Table 4]

[Table 5] In addition, the items corresponding to the food groups in Table 6 of the “Food Exchange Table” do not need to be controlled for each food item, and a total amount of 300 grams of various kinds of vegetables is regarded as one unit. Is the indicated amount per day. for that reason,
A card may be created as needed. For example, three cards may be prepared and managed to eat 100 grams for each meal in the morning, day, and night. Further, the seasoning (miso, soy sauce, sugar) used in cooking is not negligible as an energy amount depending on the use form, but a card corresponding to this may be created if necessary. Normally, it is not necessary to provide a management card if you have a habit of using it as far as possible. Furthermore, in order to be able to use a long-term diet without difficulty, some modest taste intake should be allowed. for that reason,
When eating favorite foods such as alcohols and sweets, as shown in the following table, it is also possible to exchange the white card used for each meal.

[Table 6] Although only a few food items are listed in the above table as examples, more detailed applicable items will be transferred to the above “food exchange table”. In addition, the above-mentioned notation method on the card may be expressed in Braille or the like in consideration of the visually impaired, or may be used in combination. next,
In this way, a plurality of types and a plurality of cards 1 each of which is individually colored and an identification form is added, and a corresponding food name and a guide are displayed, a meal instruction in a daily instruction unit of the user (patient). The instruction unit management card group (hereinafter, abbreviated as "card group") 2 is formed by selecting and combining according to the votes, connecting them to the openable / closable ring 20 via the engagement holes 10 and holding them collectively. I do. For example, if the instruction unit per day is 23 units (1800 kcal), a) Since the instruction unit allocated in Table 1 is 12 units, 1
2) “6 white cards”, b) The instruction unit allocated in Table 2 is 1 unit, so 1 unit is “1 orange card”, and c) Table 3 is allocated. Since the instruction unit is four units, one unit is one unit of “4 blue cards”. D) The instruction unit allocated in Table 4 is 1.4 units, so one unit is 1.4 units. E) One red card ", e) The instruction unit allocated in Table 5 is one unit, so one yellow card is one unit, f) The instruction unit allocated in Table 6 is one unit. Therefore, "3 green cards", which is 0.33 units (100 grams of vegetables) per sheet, g) 0.6 units allocated to seasonings are omitted. A total of 16 cards 1 One, one
.. Are collectively held by the ring 20 to form the card group 2. The card group 2 is used in such a manner that the card group 2 is always carried and carried, and for each meal, the card 1 corresponding to the food item is detached from the engagement of the ring 20 by the corresponding number and separately held. Is what you do. Using this, a meal management method according to the instruction unit of the day is performed as follows, for example. (1) For breakfast, eat 2 cups of rice, 40 grams of natto, 1 tomato and cucumber salad, and miso soup (with wakame). I) 2 cups of rice ... white Card 2
B) As for natto ... blue card 1
, C) As a salad ... Green card 1
Sheets, d) As miso soup wakame ... Remove the cards (without seasonings) from the ring 20 and keep them separately. (2) For lunch, fried rice (220 grams of rice,
When eating 3 hams, 1 egg, other ingredients are vegetables only), salad (mixed of various types), i) As 220 g rice ... white card 2
B) As a ham or an egg ... blue card 2
C) As fried rice fried oil ... yellow card 1
Sheets, d) for salad ............ green card 1
, Are detached from the ring 20 and are held separately. As a result, the types of cards 1 remaining in the ring 20 are two white cards, one orange card, one blue card, one red card, and one green card. It is good to consider dinner menu in consideration of the type of the remaining card 1. (3) As a result, if you eat 2 cups of rice, tuna sashimi (4 slices of red meat), and spinach spinach (more) for dinner, a) 2 cups of rice ... white card 2
B) Tuna sashimi for blue card 1
C) Green card 1
, From the ring 20, the orange card 1
And one red card will remain. The remaining card 1 indicates food items corresponding to Tables 2 and 4 above, so that during or after each meal, for example, milk (one glass) and oranges (three medium) Or, eating a yogurt (a glass) and an apple (a small one) will remove all the cards 1 from the ring 20. By performing in this way, it is possible to ingest an appropriate amount of energy and an appropriate amount of balanced nutrition in accordance with the instruction unit of one day. On the next day, remove the removed cards and return to ring 2
The engagement is returned to 0, and the meal management for that day is performed in the same manner as the previous day. By repeating this, daily meal management is performed. A ring (not shown) for engaging the card 1 after use and a ring 20 for engaging the card 1 before use are provided for holding and placing the removed card 1. If they are combined, loss of the card can be prevented.

[Possibility of Other Embodiments] In the card group 2 of the above embodiment, a large number of cards 1 are engaged with an openable / closable ring 20 to hold them collectively. However, the present invention is not limited to this.
Other components may be used as long as they can be collectively held and have portability. For example, the storage device may be stored in a portable case, and may be provided with a spatial partition for separately holding a card before and after use. In addition, the means for executing the diet management method of the diet therapy according to the present invention is not limited to the card 1 or the card group 2 having the physical form described in claims 2 and 3; In view of the remarkable development of the above, a method may be adopted in which a screen content displayed on a portable display using a microcomputer device is regarded as a card.

Since the present invention adopts the above-mentioned configuration, it is free from the trouble of calculating calories for each meal, and a card group in which a daily instruction unit is appropriately allocated in consideration of a nutritional balance in advance. By simply removing the card corresponding to the item that has been eaten, meal management can be performed easily. In other words, the amount of calories that can be consumed in one day decreases as the card 1 is extracted, and finally reaches 0, which means that the user cannot eat any more. In addition, the card group is allocated to each food group as an optimal value specific to the patient by a doctor or dietitian, and if the diet is managed according to this, the best diet therapy was achieved as a result. Thus, the burden on the patient can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, if a large number of patterns for each meal are created in advance, menus can be considered while examining various cards remaining in the ring. Furthermore, the group of cards held together is formed to such an extent that it does not hinder carrying, so that it can be always carried and kept, which is very convenient for eating out. As described above, since the meal management method of the diet according to the present invention is a management method in which the card is removed from the collective holding each time it is eaten, there are cases where almost no card remains at dinner time depending on the person. As a result, the user can be aware of calorie over, can manage himself / herself with a sense of game while having fun, and is an epoch-making method that can be executed for a long time without difficulty.
