Self-monitoring works, and people who track intake daily lose the most weight.

Only one problem, it takes too much effort and isn't much fun. We're fixing that with Hava, cutting down on effort (Snap a picture to log) and adding more value and fun as quickly as possible.

Sometimes, simple substitutions can radically boost the satiety per calorie of what you're eating.

In effect, this causes you to be happy, content, and nourished while eating far less.

Far less empty calories like sugar.

Ketchup is a good example. Switch from regular

Fortunately, there are many smart…

Average satiety about 56 this week, with some dips on Friday and Saturday (resulting in eating way more), and a really high score of 67 today (resulting in eating less).

It's just…

This is cool. Our Hava satiety scoring just got heavily criticised, based on an old study (comparing oatmeal to eggs).

Just one problem. When entering the ingredients used our scoring ends up predicting the results of the study perfectly. Ooops! 💪
