I noticed a definite change in my "comfort snack" seeking behavior after a month of using the app. I like that this app is part of a scientific study. Recommendations: I'd love to see charts of my "stats" (speed, accuracy) over time. Also, the question prompts do not account for whether the food/drink I'm "craving" is a nourishing, healthy choice at an appropriate eating time (it often is, even before I started using the app). Updating the questions to reflect that would be helpful/interesting.
A bit confusing with the images but in the right direction
OK app, seems to help with cravings. One thing that bothers me is that unhealthy foods are considered healthy in this app. Breads, crackers, and rice cakes are junk food, yet if you don't select them you can't get a perfect score.
You can become mindful of what you eat.
Uses rudimentary game-style reflex training to positively reinforce "good", negatively reinforce "bad" choices. Slightly customizable, based on personal weaknesses for salty snacks, chocolate, sugar-drinks, etc. After a week's use, noticed a very subtle "lag" in my impulses to snack, that have allowed me to behave less mindlessly and make better, more conscious choices. Best of all, no ads, no marketing, no shaming!
Love it. I have surprisingly lost 15 lbs in 6 weeks. I thought it was too simple to work.
Interesting, I'll have to use it more.
It's a research app and it works guys I have installed it like 1 month ago and I have getting good results.
Helpful, definitely reduced food cravings and inspired healthier choices. Settings can be used to personalize, very easy to use, and I followed the suggested best use for results. Well done!
It works for me except for some of the foodstuffs in the green circles such as rice cakes etc. On Banting we don't indulge in fruit either. However the brain training concept still has an influence on what I choose to eat.
