LIGHTER SCALE

This unique scale delivers on being a very accurate & reliable scale for its size & price as well as being the perfect scale for the RYO (Roll-Your-Own) enthusiast - the MyWeigh LighterScale. The LighterScale was designed with the RYO enthusiast in mind, but anyone can take advantage of this scale's features regardless.

For starters, this scale comes in two awesome 'lighter-case' designs: 'Smoking Dog' & 'Chrome finish': housed protectively inside the case is the scale. The scale houses many features that are normally found in bigger scales: your choice of either the 100g or 500g capacity (the scale platform is 1.4" x 1.8" but can be expanded by using the enclosed Clear-Plastic Scale Cover that doubles as an Expansion-Tray). The accuracy of the scale is right-on at both 100g x 0.01g (for the 100g scale) and 500g x 0.1g (for the 500g scale)! One of the bigger values this scale holds is the Weighmeter Technology normally found on high-end scales; this feature allows you to see a gradual set of bars grow in numbers as you add more weight to the scale: once the scale is close to the max weight-limit, the LCD Screen will display 'OVERLOAD' to warn you that the scale is nearing its weight-limit & will help you prevent accidental overload (this can save your scale's delicate internal ciruitry).

Many other features make this scale a best-buy: four weighing modes (grams, ounces, pennyweight & troy ounces), Low-Battery warning, Tare feature, Stainless-Steel Weighing-Platform, Bright-Blue LCD Display, Protective Cover that doubles as an Expansion-Tray and a host of other great features!

The sleek & durable styling of the scale makes it functional for many small weighing needs, but also stylish whether inside the lighter-case or out. Backed by MyWeigh's 30-Year/Lifetime Warranty, you are sure to love the quality & workmanship behind this amazing scale! MyWeigh delivers on the craftsmanship of this scale regardless if you're diggin' the Lighter-Casing or the scale or both. You don't have to be a smoking enthusiast to own this scale - this is a scale everyone will love!

The Myweigh Advantage

Myweigh and Diabetes

According to the World Diabetes Foundation, there are about 285 million people living with diabetes. That is about 6.4% of the world population. While this number is expected to grow over the next 20 years, there is a significant movement being made to assist people that have diabetes. This movement is the accelerated need for both kitchen and pocket scales to assist in weighing food, especially high sugar items. The boom in Diabetics directly correlates to the boom in sales of portable precision weighing instruments as well as less portable weighing devices such as kitchen scales. My Weigh is #1 in this market with more Diabetics using My Weigh for sugar weighing than any other brand.

Precision weighing scales can be very helpful to diabetic users both at home and on the go. While having a kitchen scale at home was the standard 10 years ago, most kitchen scales are large and are not very portable, making them difficult to take to your office or to a restaurant. This is why having both a kitchen scale and a pocket scale is essential for diabetics. If you already have a typical kitchen scale that is not very portable, consider supplementing your weighing with a portable pocket sized scale such as the Palmscale®. There are many new and very convenient scales that can fit in a purse or coat pocket to easily weigh on the go. My Weigh offers contemporary designed scales for this function that are durable, precise and downright beautiful.

Over the past decade, the advent of lower cost high precision sensors has enabled us to offer higher precision at a very reasonable cost. Because of this, consumers now demand higher precision for their weighing needs. Most manual scales from the 1980's were accurate within 10 grams. Most digital scales from the 1990's were accurate within 5 grams. Now most scales are accurate even below 1 gram. Modern scales that are accurate to 0.1 gram are perfect for weighing foods that are not high sugar items, while using scales that are accurate to the hundredth or 0.01 gram are better suited for weighing sugar or high sugar items. When weighing high sugar items it is illogical to weigh in less accurate (ie 1 gram) increments when they can now weigh in more precise 0.01 gram increments. While 0.01 gram scales used to be expensive, nowadays the prices are so low for these scales there is no longer any excuse to risk health by weighing in larger increments. An extra 0.05 grams can be the difference between needing an injection or not. There is no reason to chance it. Remember that a scale that reads in 1 gram increments will be accurate usually +/- 1 gram (meaning what you think is 1 gram could be 2.5 grams – over time the accumulation of this excess sugar in your system can have consequences).

As you can see, we are very excited about the progress being made in the fight against diabetes. There are many different scales that are each unique and helpful in different ways. We strongly recommend that you utilize a kitchen scale for your home and a pocket scale for weighing on-the-go.. This way you will be prepared both at home and on the road. There is truly no longer any excuse for not monitoring your sugar intake with a weighing device. After all, health is paramount. Trust My Weigh for all of your weighing needs.

The Myweigh Advantage

The Ketogenic Diet

There has been some discussion and questions about which scale is adequate for use with the Ketogenic Diet. We have developed several scales that happen to be particularly suited for this use. It is important to use a 0.01 gram measuring scale for this requirement. In addition the weighing device must be pocket sized in order to ensure that you will be able to travel with the scale and take it to restaurants. While a table sized balance may be slightly more accurate, we have seen over the past 10 years that most long term users of weighing devices for the Ketogenic Diet prefer portability over extreme accuracy. The needs of a consumer seeking weighing devices for the Ketogenic Diet differ slightly from that of a Diabetic sugar monitor weighing requirement. While both do require high precision, Ketogenic weighing often requires more precision with less tolerance. As a matter of policy We do not directly recommend any diet or scale for this diet and ask you to speak with your physician for the proper scale required for your needs. Only your physician knows if the diet is right for you and which type of weighing device will match your particular needs.

This information is provided with assistance by our friends at Balances.com and is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE. The Ketogenic Diet rigid diet is for the treatment of epileptic seizures, either in conjunction with, or in place of anticonvulsant. The diet is recommended for seizure control when anti-convulsants and medications have failed. The diet is thought to help in children under 10 years of age, mostly because of compliance problems, but can be used in older children and adults.

The Ketogenic Diet is a therapeutic and specially calculated diet that is high in fat and low in protein and carbohydrates. The stringent, mathematically calculated diet when followed conscientiously produces a by-product called ketones in patients' blood and urine. High concentrations of ketones in the body control the frequency and severity of seizures, although the biochemical mechanisms for this phenomenon are not yet known.

The diet must be done with medical supervision and treated with the same respect as any other anticonvulsant medication. Approximately half of the children who go on the diet become seizure free, and another large percentage have enough improvement to continue the diet.

Most patients remain on this diet for at least two years, during which time medications may be reduced and even discontinued. Although the diet is high-fat, patients do not gain weight because their caloric intake is restricted to 75 percent of their required daily allowance. The diet is supplemented with vitamins and calcium, so patients do not suffer from any nutritional imbalance. It is extremely important to weigh all foods and calculate protein and caloric percentages during the entire diet. Certain scales such as the Palmscale PS8-300 may be particularly well suited as the calculation function can be used to compute caloric intake. However we again ask you to speak to your physician to have a scale recommended to you.
