  • What is FoodKey?
    FoodKey is an all-in-one system designed to help you manage diabetes effortlessly. It combines: A nutrition scoring system A continuous food intake tracker A personalized coaching feedback tool The FoodKey score represents how healthy your meals are and their impact on your diabetes. No nutrition knowledge is needed—just rely on the score to guide your choices. This score isn’t something a person could calculate on their own. It’s powered by advanced algorithms, a specialized diabetes food library, and cutting-edge AI and machine learning techniques, all working together to help you achieve better health.
  • What does the FoodKey Score mean?
    The FoodKey Score is the only number you need to understand how healthy your food is. Created by researchers, it reflects the positive and negative impacts of food on diabetes based on scientific evidence. The score considers a wide range of food attributes, including: Saturated and unsaturated fats Fiber and carbohydrates Vitamins and minerals Added sugars And dozens more scientifically linked to human health The FoodKey Score evaluates the quality of: Individual foods Entire meals Long-term eating patterns
  • Why doesn’t FoodKey show calories?
    Calories: Just One Part of the Story Calories are important, but they’re only one of the 54 attributes FoodKey uses to evaluate nutrition. While calories measure the amount of energy in food, they tell us very little about the quality or composition of that food. Calories alone don’t indicate whether a food is nutritious or not. That’s why FoodKey goes beyond calories to assess the full nutritional value, giving you a complete picture of how your food impacts your health.
  • What about the Nutrition Facts label?
    The Limitations of Nutrition Facts Labels The Nutrition Facts Panel on packaged foods provides useful details, like fat, carbohydrates, protein, sugar, and sodium content. However, it doesn’t capture the full picture. Many other factors that influence your health are not included on these labels. While helpful, these panels don’t: Offer a complete view of your food’s nutritional value Make it easy to track your nutrient intake from multiple meals Provide insights over time, such as daily, weekly, or monthly trends Consistent tracking over time is essential to measure your health progress and potential for managing or curing diabetes. That’s where FoodKey comes in to fill the gaps.
  • Do I need to take a picture of my food?
    Yes, taking a picture is essential. FoodKey uses these images along with your food labeling to analyze your meals accurately. Capturing a photo is required to validate the FoodKey guarantee and support your journey toward curing diabetes. It’s also convenient for logging meals later. Instead of writing down what you ate, simply reference the photo and label the foods when you have time. As you use FoodKey, it will learn your eating patterns and start automatically labeling your meals, making the process even easier over time.
  • How do I lose weight with FoodKey?
    Losing weight with FoodKey starts with eating healthier foods. Higher FoodKey Scores are directly linked to lower body weight and better overall health. To begin, aim to increase your FoodKey Score by 10 points—you may be surprised by the results! Weight loss is often a natural part of curing diabetes. By consistently eating nutritious foods and tracking them over time, you can not only manage your weight but also work toward curing your diabetes. Keep your average monthly FoodKey Score above 70, and you’re likely to achieve and maintain a healthy weight as part of your journey.
  • Why doesn’t FoodKey ask for portion size?
    FoodKey combines proprietary algorithms, advanced data science, a specialized food library for diabetes, and the photos you take of your meals to estimate portion sizes. Nutritional analysis relies on the weight of food, not its volume, to assess portions accurately. FoodKey’s automated approach has been thoroughly researched and validated for precision. While individual meals or foods may sometimes be slightly over- or underestimated, FoodKey consistently provides more accurate results than other methods when tracking your food intake over an entire week.
  • Why doesn’t FoodKey show me any nutrition details?
    Optimizing nutrition isn’t as simple as focusing on one or two nutrition factors. FoodKey uses a powerful algorithm and a specialized diabetes food library to evaluate the overall healthfulness of your meals. Instead of overwhelming you with complex data, FoodKey simplifies your choices by focusing on one key metric: your FoodKey Score. Keep your score above 70 consistently, and you’ll give your diabetes the best chance for improvement and potential cure.
  • Is this a vegetarian or vegan diet?
    No, the FoodKey Diabetes program does not restrict you from eating any specific food. However, maintaining a score above 70 limits the consumption of unhealthy foods. Part of the diabetic condition involves poor nutrition combined with high-calorie intake. While the FoodKey scoring system is more complex, you can think of it like this: High-calorie foods with low nutritional value score low. High-nutrition foods with low calories score high. Within the FoodKey app, you can search for any food and instantly see its score. This feature is useful and can be used to plan meals. You can always delete any food or plate of food at any time. Plan your meal. Don’t like your score. Delete and change the menu.
  • Can I eat anything that I want?
    Yes, you can eat any food you like. However, unhealthy foods will lower your score, while healthier options will raise it. Celebrating a birthday or enjoying a special dinner is an important part of life—so go ahead and enjoy it! Just remember that you'll need to be more disciplined with your meals over the next few days or week to bring your score back above 70. If your goal is to cure your diabetes, aim to keep your score above 70 consistently each month. Maintaining a higher score will help you reach your goal even faster.
  • Why is a FoodKey score of 70 the target number?
    Based on an analysis of 47,000 U.S. adults, maintaining a score above 70 is highly likely to cure your diabetes within 9 months. However, individual results may vary. Keeping your score even higher than 70 can accelerate your progress. FoodKey guarantees to cure your diabetes if you: Take an image and tag all the food and drinks you consume. Maintain an average monthly score above 70 for 9 consecutive months.
  • Will I need to use FoodKey beyond 9 months?
    FoodKey teaches you, bite by bite, which foods are good for you and which are not. Over time, this will become second nature, helping you make better food choices for the rest of your life. Once your diabetes is cured and your biomarkers return to normal, FoodKey will offer a discounted rate of $3.00 per month to continue using the program. When you switch to maintenance mode, you’ll notice slightly different scores as the nutrition library adjusts to parameters for healthy individuals. Why should you keep tracking your food? People often slip back into old habits, and without consistent tracking, it’s easy to fool yourself and backslide. Regular tracking ensures you maintain high scores, which not only keep your diabetes at bay but also reduce the risk of 13 types of cancer and dozens of other chronic conditions, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer’s, erectile dysfunction, NAFLD (MASH), and more. By continuing to track, you’ll sustain your health and prevent future complications.
