Weight-Mate App

In January 2016, Minister for Health Leo Varadkar launched safefood’s ‘Weight-Mate’ App.  This App aims to help adults to lose weight in a healthy way through goal setting, planning to eat healthy, balanced meals, and regular exercise.  The App monitors exercise and nutrition goals, and motivates the user to accomplish these goals.  It features over 400 recipes developed by safefood’s nutritionists to cater for individual weight loss needs.  There is also a ‘Groups’ feature - for communities, workplace groups, families or friends to work together to achieve their goals.  ‘Weight-Mate’ is free to download for iPhone and Android.  For more details, visit: www.safefood.eu/Healthy-Eating/Weight-Loss/weight-mate.aspx
