FoodT Initial Reaction
Can Food Trainer help you make better food choices in one month?
Food Trainer, also known as FoodT, is an Android app that is attempting to determine if a short game app will
help people make better food choices and decrease their food intake.
The University of Exeter will be reviewing the research collected
anonymously by FoodT. The app is based on an online game which was
shown to successfully reducer the user's food intake and help with
weight loss after playing the game just four times.
FoodT's goal is to change the way our brain views sweets and
attempt to retrain ourselves to reach for healthier, less caloric
food items instead of chips, cookies, sodas and gum drops.
“By playing the game for 10 minutes a day, FoodT helped a study
group of 83 adults cut out an average of 220 calories from their
daily diets.”
So how does it work?
