Eat better. Count nothing.

No, and that's built into the prompts rather than promised on a landing page. Portions are taught with your hand and the shape of a plate — a palm, a cupped hand, a fist — because that scales to the person automatically, needs no equipment, travels with you, and can't turn into something to track obsessively. If you genuinely want precise numbers for a medical reason, that's a conversation for a registered dietitian rather than a toolkit.

Your pattern, not your food. The five questions are about whether you eat at roughly regular times, whether protein turns up before dinner, whether vegetables appear regularly, how varied the week is, and how much you cook. Not one of them asks about a specific food, because no individual thing on a plate matters much next to the shape of a whole week. There's no clean-versus-junk framing anywhere in it.

No — and it asks upfront what you won't give up, then leaves it entirely alone. Restriction reliably makes a food more compelling, and a plan that removes the one thing someone said they'd keep is a plan that ends in resentment. The swaps are ranked by how likely each is to still be happening in three months, which usually means the nearest thing that still satisfies rather than the theoretically best option.

There's a short set of questions before anything else, and if it flags eating that feels out of control, compensating afterwards, distress around food someone else cooked, or food occupying most of your thinking, the bundle stops rather than handing you a diet overhaul. A whole-diet project is the wrong first step for that and can make it harder. It points you to your doctor and to a national eating disorder helpline instead.

Only alongside the person managing it. A medically managed diet needs a dietitian, and their guidance overrides anything here — that's flagged in the screening questions rather than left for you to work out. The cooking, batch and kitchen-organising tools are still useful in that situation; the pattern and swap advice should be checked against what you've actually been told.
