Tired of being hungry
and still not
losing weight?

RealFoods: Beyond Calories is an iPhone app from Lauer j.d.o.o. that scores any meal 1 to 10 for its likely blood sugar and insulin impact (the Weight Impact Score) from a photo, text or barcode. It is built for people who want a way to eat for weight loss that doesn't rely on counting calories. RealFoods is free to download. Barcode scans, product search and manual meals include the full score. Premium (AI photo and text meal scoring) has a 7-day free trial, then $9.99 a month or $59.99 a year.

No. Calorie counting asks how much you ate. RealFoods estimates what a meal is likely to do to blood sugar and insulin, which we think is the more useful second question.

You never count anything, and no food is off limits. The score simply shows which meals have a lower estimated insulin impact. Knowing it can change choices naturally.

MyFitnessPal hands you a number to live under. Noom hands you lessons to finish. RealFoods scores the meal instead: scan it, see its estimated impact, and see which swaps lower it.

Yes. Your fasting timer starts the moment you stop eating, automatically or with one tap. The Coach walks you through the typical stages of a fast, shown as estimates.

From your meals and their timing. Meals that send blood sugar up call in more insulin, and high insulin slows the release of stored fat, so RealFoods models your day as one simple readout across four zones, from Burning Fat to Keeping Fat. It is an estimate, not a measurement, and no device is required.

Weight Impact is RealFoods' 1 to 10 score for how strongly a meal is likely to raise blood sugar and call in insulin, where lower is better: 1 to 2 is Burning Fat, 3 to 4 Mostly Neutral, 5 to 6 Fat-Burning Paused and 7 to 10 Keeping Fat. It is a modelled estimate from the meal's foods, not a medical measurement. Low scores point to a smaller estimated insulin response, and high scores to a bigger one.

The Weight Impact Score is a modelled estimate, not a measurement, and it has not been clinically validated against measured insulin responses. It draws on published research on glycaemic and insulin responses, and it reads best as a pattern across your week rather than a single meal.

No. Scan what you're unsure about. No streaks, no penalties. Use it as much or as little as feels right, the Coach works with whatever you give it.
