Ladies, how many of you would you wear a bra that could potentially help you lose weight? I’m not talking about concealing or shifting weight, I’m talking about monitor-your-eating-and-losing-the-pounds – weight loss. According to Microsoft, they’re developing a new “smart bra” for women that could help stop emotional binge eating. You may check out an easy-to-use online bra calculator here to help you find your ideal size in just a few clicks.
So how does It work? The ‘smart bra’ is fitted with sensors that monitor real-time bio-signals such as heart rate and respiration, which are key emotional signs Microsoft has identified prior to an emotional binge, and will intervene.
Feeling stressed out? Just before you make that midnight run to McDonalds, the smart bra will pick up your stress-induced bio-signals and immediately send a signal via Bluetooth to your smartphone, alerting you that eating that double cheeseburger at 1am could be stress-related eating that you should avoid.
Now I’m all for a technology-advanced quick fix for weight loss, but I’m not sure if a text to my phone will stop me from indulging in a stress-related snack. What about you? Would you wear a bra that monitored your eating habits, in hopes of losing weight? Weigh in below…
