Personally if I eat a biscuit I look like I’ve swallowed a Frisbee – to the point at which the wife likes nothing better than to spin me round and watch as I bounce off walls for the next four hours – but for those for whom weight is an issue it’s not difficult to see why this BodyBugg Calorie Management Gadget from BodyMedia could be considered a valuable asset in their dieting regime.
