Attorney, Agent or Firm:
Methods and apparatus are provided for a diet system which is carried out over the Internet. A server, over a network, stores at least one weight reduction program, including information from which a specific weight reduction plan can be selected. The server receives user information, from a client, that includes a current image of the user. The server compares the current image to a previous image of the user to verify at least part of the information from the user. The server determines a weight reduction program based on the information by the user and the image comparison. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The basic hardware forming the basic setup of the present invention is shown in FIG.
1.
A server computer 100, at a central location, stores a database of information, as well as a user interface program, and a main program which can run a web browser.
The server computer 100 is connected to a network 110, which connects the server 100 to a plurality of client computers.
The network can be the Internet, or can be any other network that allows an exchange of information.
For example, in one embodiment, the network 110 may be a dedicated dial-up or LAN network.
The network comprises at least an information line, and a router 130.
The information line 125 can be a telephone line and the router 130 can be the internet backbone, for example.
The server computer 100 runs a routine that is described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.
2.
Many client computers can be connected to the server 100.
Client 120 is shown at a remote location.
The client computer 120 can be any computer which is capable of running a network interfacing program such as a web browser.
In addition, the client computer can have various peripherals attached thereto.
These peripherals can include, for example, a camera 135, an electronic scale 140 and/or an alternative body sensing part 145.
Desirable body sensing parts 145 include an electronic blood pressure measuring device which produces an electronic output indicative of blood pressure, an electronic blood sugar reader, an electronic body fat sensor, or other know electronic sensors which measure any parameters related to body size or fat can be used.
In operation, each of the server computers is driven to run the specified routine under control of the server.
According to the present application, the dieter enters an initial profile, either over the network, e.
g.
, the Internet, or in person.
The profile may be supplemented by a physical examination by a real physician.
This initial profile is used as the baseline.
Later operations can carry out totally remotely, e
