Full description

Maintaining the adherence of weight loss programme while selecting healthy and sustainable foods will become a worldwide future challenge in nutrition. Therefore, we investigated the suitable content, graphic, and flow in developing a mobile application as an alternative solution for enhancing the compliance of weight control and selecting healthy food with the least environmental impact.

The treatment for obesity consists of dieting, physical exercise, pharmacology, and surgery. Restricted balanced diet is a well known diet recommendation for people with obesity. Sustainable diet is an alternative form of diet which contributes to healthy life and is protective of biodiversity.

The main challenge in obesity management is the sustainability of weight loss programme. Mobile apps are an alternative solution for enhancing compliance.
