Habit Loops

Feature: Habit Loops

💡 Overview: Habit Loops is an in-app feature that allows members to customize targets, track more nutritional habits, like protein and fiber intake, monitor weekly metrics, and track progress over time.

📅 Release Date: February 2024

Currently, Habit Loops includes tracking of 10 key habits that contribute to optimal metabolic health. 

• 👣 Steps: Frequent movement throughout the day—especially after meals—is key to stable glucose. Use this habit loop to motivate yourself to get up and get moving.
• 🏋️ Exercise: Any type of exercise improves insulin sensitivity and overall health. Use this habit loop to work towards exercising every day, even at low intensity.
• 💪 Strenuous workouts: Workouts that push your heart rate, like HIIT and CrossFit, have unique metabolic benefits. Start adding more into your routine and track towards a weekly target.
• 🍚 Calories: Total calorie intake plays an important role in weight management and metabolic health. Use this habit loop to stay mindful of your energy balance and progress toward your goals.
• 🍗 Total Protein: Getting enough protein is vital for boosting satiety, stabilizing blood sugar, and supporting metabolic health. Use this habit loop to track towards your daily quota.
• 🥗 Total Fiber: Fiber plays key roles in gut health and blood sugar. Use this habit loop to track towards your daily fiber target.
• 🍩 Total saturated fat: Limiting saturated fat helps support heart and metabolic health. Use this habit loop to stay aware of your intake and balance it with healthier fats like olive oil, nuts, and avocado.
• 🥔 Net carbs:  Carbohydrates have the largest impact on glucose levels. Use this loop to track net carbs to better understand how your carb intake affects your glucose response.
• 🛏️ Sleep: Low or poor-quality sleep impacts glucose the next day, and can increase cravings and stress. Use this habit loop to strive for 7-8 hours of good sleep a night.
• 🧘 Mindful time: Time you spend through meditation, deep breathing, or focused attention to enhance mental clarity and well-being.
