I created ProsoPlate to transform my relationship with food. After years of diet cycling and willpower-based approaches, I discovered that curiosity works better than control.
ProsoPlate applies the Clarity Method-a framework grounded in the neuroscience of craving and reward prediction error. Instead of tracking calories, you track awareness.
The Problem with Traditional Approaches
Most diet apps reinforce the cycle of restriction and rebellion. They assume the problem is information (“just know what you’re eating”) when the real challenge is awareness of the eating experience itself.
How ProsoPlate is Different
ProsoPlate helps you:
- Notice what actually happens when you eat (not what you think should happen)
- Distinguish physical hunger from emotional triggers
- Track satisfaction using bipolar scales rather than binary judgments
- Build genuine curiosity about your eating patterns
The Clarity Method
Based on Dr. Jud Brewer’s research on habit change and craving, the Clarity Method shifts focus from willpower to wisdom. Learn more about the approach at The Clarity Method.
Key Features:
- Photo-Based Meal Tracking: Capture meals with photos and quick check-ins. Rate hunger and craving levels before eating, then reflect on satisfaction afterward.
- RAIN Practice: Built-in meditation technique for managing cravings-Recognize, Allow, Investigate (with interactive body map), and Note your discoveries.
- Evening Review: Daily insights showing eating patterns, when cravings peak, and the gaps between anticipation and actual satisfaction.
- Pattern Discovery: Over time, reveal your peak craving times, emotional triggers, and progress in mindful eating awareness.
- Raisin Exercise: An 8-step guided practice teaching the classic mindful eating exercise.
- No Calorie Counting: Focus on awareness, not restriction.
Privacy-First
All data stays on your device. No accounts, no cloud sync, no tracking. Your relationship with food is personal-your data should be too.
For Those 50+
While ProsoPlate works for anyone, I designed it with my own demographic in mind. Metabolism changes. Life gets complex. The simplistic advice of our 20s no longer applies. ProsoPlate meets you where you are.
