Background
Good food or Bad food?
Based on the pie chart, only a tiny percentage of people know how to distinguish "good" food or "bad" food.
How do bad emotions influence people?
According to the statistics from American Psychological Association, emotional changes affect people’s eating behavior during weight loss.
Aspects that current health software should improve
1. The way of recording food intake
is too boring and inconvenient.
2. It is hard for users to stick to eating healthy meals in a long term.
3. The reasons behind recommended diets are not clearly mentioned to many users.
How to be happy?
Research has found that people can not obtain long-term happiness by eating low-carbohy- drate food and low-fat food.
As long as people form a healthy eating pattern that helps them stick to it.
