Develop healthy eating habits:

• Select a food item.
• Pay attention to the key food info: Weight, Total Eating Time, Number of Bites, Number of Chews, Calories, and Health Score.
• Visually divide your food into the indicated number of bites (give or take a few).
• Press Start and chew along with the Countdown Button: navy circle indicates chews and white circle indicates bites.

• Stay with the countdown to the very end – wait for the "Great Job!" pop-up.
APP CUES
• Small bites – one bite is about one cubic centimeter (~ ½ cubic in). Don’t panic - sure, it will take some work to adjust to small bites, but you’ll get good at it very fast.
• Thorough chewing – a certain number of chews in each bite is deliberately calculated to make sure that you chew each morsel properly, albeit not too long to bore you stiff.
• Never drink liquids while chewing! You may drink liquids in moderation after swallowing your food.
• The health score is rated on the scale from one to ten, with 1 being the worst and 10 - the healthiest food. Excessive calories and volume and nasty nutrients (sugar, sodium, saturated fat, etc.) lower the health score, while moderate portions, high density of good nutrients, and abundance of antioxidants do just the opposite.
• The more you use the app, the faster you develop a habit of healthy mindful eating. Use the app consistently for the first 3-4 weeks
