What It Is and Why To Try It

We’ve all seen those diets out there. The ones that promise you’ll lose 10 pounds in a week. That demand you eat a rigid list of foods for each and every meal. That make you feel less like a person and more like a number on a scale. Or like a bundle of risk factors for all kinds of scary-sounding health conditions.

That’s not how health education and healthy living should be. And it’s not the right approach for your health, your happiness or your life.

Cleveland Clinic’s Diet app takes a decidedly different approach.

We see you. We want you to live your healthiest life. And we give you the tools and advice you need. Without judgment, fads or strict rules.

What is the Cleveland Clinic Diet app?

Cleveland Clinic is a world-renowned leader in healthcare, with a legacy spanning more than 100 years. And our diet app is bringing all that expert know-how directly to you. So, you can take control of your health.

The Cleveland Clinic Diet app was built by leading professionals in nutrition, weight management, endocrinology, metabolism, heart health, digestive health and mental health. They know how your diet, daily activity, stress levels, sleep habits and more affect you. And they know how to make them work in your favor.

All that guidance is packaged into one of the most technologically advanced health apps ever to hit the market. You can type, talk, upload photos or scan barcodes to log your meals and snacks — making it easy and convenient to track your intake.

How it works

Some health apps can help you keep track of your eating patterns. Others may provide healthy living advice or help you build better habits. Some will help you lose weight.

The Cleveland Clinic Diet app does all that. And more.

Let’s look at a few highlights:

• Personalized plans. A healthy lifestyle isn’t one-size-fits-all. You have your own unique health needs and goals. We’re here to help you create a plan that works for you. So, you can start making those little changes that can lead to big results.
• Food tracking. Knowing what you’re eating is the first step to improving your diet. And the Cleveland Clinic Diet app makes it simple to keep track. That means less of the drudgery that can make you want to throw in the towel.
• Healthy living advice. Knowledge is power. And the more you know about how to set and reach healthy goals, the better prepared you’ll be to build a healthier lifestyle. Get healthy living tips and advice from experts you can trust.
• HeartSmart program. Cleveland Clinic is a global authority in heart care. We know precisely what works to keep your ticker in tip-top shape. So, whether you’re living with heart disease or have a family history and want to lower your risk, there’s a specialized path for you.

Why it works

We’re creatures of habit. It’s human nature to create routines and stick with them. Life without routine would be chaotic and deeply stressful.

But habits can be a double-edged sword.

You can get stuck in a cycle of less-than-optimal habits. Like bingeing that show instead of going for a walk. Or picking up food on the go instead of packing your lunch.

On the flip side, once you develop healthier habits, they get easier to keep up with. You can find that you start to look forward to that walk. Or default to healthier snacks when hunger strikes.

But it takes motivation and practice to undo the habits that can hold you back.

That’s where the Cleveland Clinic Diet app comes in. Logging your food helps you see the routines that could use improvement. And healthy living advice gives you a reason to want to make healthier choices.

Soon, things start to snowball. You break free from the same old-same old. You start to stack one good habit on top of another, on top of another. And we’re there for you each step of the way.

Health is about more than your weight. And weight is about more than just what you eat. The Cleveland Clinic Diet app empowers you to make lasting changes. Because when healthcare expertise combines with first-in-class technology, healthier is doable!
