Why FoodScription?

Our diet is a primary driver of chronic disease and poor health. Both providers and participants in the healthcare system need a personalized nutrition solution that helps them be more effective on the journey to improving diet for better health.

Nutrition Professionals

Generic disease state specific meal plans don’t meet patient needs, but creating personalized meal plans is too time consuming. In addition, time spent doing diet recalls and gathering other information from patients could be better spent educating and developing solutions. Current tools, like your EHR, are not addressing these challenges.

Consumers

Calorie counting is hard to sustain over time and can cause anxiety with food. Recipe-based meal plans are too rigid and constraining to be practical. Apps need to be flexible to accommodate complexities in the day in the life of people and how they eat.

Meal Planning

A six-month behavioral treatment program (SBT – 26 weekly sessions) with participants randomly assigned to four groups. Compared to the group receiving SBT the study shows that “giving meal plans and grocery lists was sufficient to increase initial weight loss by 50% at 6 months and by >100% 1 year later.” The study also showed that adding food provision to meal planning and grocery lists did not result in additional weight loss. Structured meal planning was associated with improving the quality of food stored in a participant’s home, improving their eating patterns, improved knowledge of the energy content of common foods along with improved decision making, and promoted adherence to a prescribed diet by simplifying the task of following the diet.

Meal Tracking

Meal Tracking using Food Photos

with our Food AI Assist to help you track food easier

It has been well documented that tracking dietary intake is a key to enhancing weight loss. Mobile apps to help track food have been popular for many years, making tracking more convenient but not painless. Recent developments in image recognition can be applied to identify food and track food intake from photos taken of a meal. One study looked at the effectiveness of this approach for adults who were overweight or obese. Compared to standard tracking, tracking by using the smartphones photo feature showed greater weight loss, tracked for a longer period of time, and logged more days when compared to smartphone tracking without the photo feature.

Balanced Eating

Calorie Counting in order to lose weight is an effective strategy, but it is hard to sustain and it can cause anxiety about food. A more intuitive approach like MyPlate is easier to apply and encourages a positive relationship with food, but does it work? A recent study looked at this question and found that results from either approach were similar in terms of clinical outcomes. This opens the door to using the more intuitive approach to help patients achieve their health goals.

“After 12 months”, people in the two programs changed about the same amount in most of what the research team measured. People in both programs
