Weight Management APP Free Online Nutrition Consultation

The Taipei City Health Bureau officially launched the "Taipei Weight Management APP" last month, which has become a mobile diary for people to record their diet, weight and exercise. Starting today, free online nutrition consultation has been added. People who log in only need to upload their diet and exercise information. Nutritionists will review it every week and provide personalized adjustment suggestions online, so that people can enjoy professional services even if they lose weight at home.

Lin Liru, director of the Health Management Division of the Taipei City Health Bureau, said that more than 15,000 people have downloaded and used the "Taipei Weight Management APP" in the past month. After the revision, it provides services such as calorie tables of common foods, allowing users to more conveniently query calories. In addition, free online nutrition consultation has been added. Through cooperation with the Nutritionist Association, people who log in only need to take a photo and upload their daily diet content. A dedicated nutritionist will review it first and provide online consultation and suggestions based on the individual's diet, exercise and weight records logged in within a week.

If you are worried that losing weight on your own is not effective enough, you can also sign up for a weight control class online. The Taipei City Health Bureau stated that anyone who downloads the "Taipei Weight Management APP" before June 30, completes membership registration and logs into the weight control plan, can participate in the healthy weight management activity reward program. People who want to control their weight are urged to download it from the "Healthy Weight Management Zone" on the Health Bureau's website, or download and install it from the Apple App Store or Google Play.
