Go Low Carb. The development of the Twazon app involved: (1) reviewing all available Arabic weight loss apps and compared with evidence-based practices for weight loss, (2) conducting a qualitative study with overweight and obese Saudi women to ascertain their preferences, (3) selecting which behavioral change strategies and guidelines to be used in the app, (4) creating the Saudi Food Database, (5) deciding on graphic design for both iPhone operating system and Android platforms, including user interface, relational database, and programming code, and (6) testing the beta version of the app with health professionals and potential users.
Also, while almonds and beans aren't an issue as you can find them in pretty much any shop, lentils and chickpeas are much more rare in China. Being them my favorite legumes, this has been a major problem for me. I solved it in two ways: bringing kilos of legumes every time I traveled outside China (I remember once I brought five Kg of chickpeas from Colombia) and buying already cooked legumes at City Shop (a chain that mostly sell overpriced imported food).
When Cravers are given craved foods, they are more likely to override their satiety cues and finish the plate, or go back for seconds. The insights the lab can't provide will come out in clinical settings, with study subjects discussing their food issues and filling out questionnaires about habits and preferences. In this way, Martin is both the Alfred Kinsey of eating- related research and its Masters and Johnson, the guy who measures and records what the rest of us merely talk about.
