Based on proven science
Meg follows the American Heart Association (AHA) Guidelines for weight loss and the experience of faculty at Northwestern Medicine. Our scientifically proven weight loss principles include:
- Sustained weight loss leads to improved health for overweight people
- For most people, eating less and becoming more active creates a calorie deficit that results in weight loss. (Extremely overweight people should use doctor’s supervision for weight loss as they may have other complications.)
- The best diet for you is one that is nutritionally balanced and easier for you to follow – typically one that offers more flexibility
- Coaching and behavioral support help people lose more weight
You can learn more about the science behind Meg from the interview of our Medical Director, Dr. Eric Terman of Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine.
Knows what works for people like you
Meg contains a sophisticated artificial intelligence engine that “sees” what works for other people like you. This lets Meg provide practical suggestions and nudges throughout the day that will keep you on your weight-loss path.
Learns what works best for you
We know that the best meal plan for weight loss is the one that’s easiest for you to stick with while progressing toward your goals. You can tell Meg your diet and activity preferences, and Meg will learn your behaviors over time. Meg will help you stay on a weight-loss program based on your preferences and make sure you get a healthy, balanced diet. If you aren’t sure what to do and need a meal or activity suggestion, Meg can provide that. And you won’t have to eat kale salad seven days a week unless you want to. Meg has a library of healthy recipes that can fit into your plan.
Customizable
Meg can be customized based on the persona you select and how you feel. Tired and lacking motivation today? Want a more lenient persona or a task master? Want more meal suggestions? You can choose. Meg will guide you towards your weight-loss goals.
Easy to use
Meg is designed to help make your weight-loss journey easier. You can interact with Meg by text or voice. Meg has a deep database of foods, ingredients and menu items to make meal tracking easy. And Meg integrates with Apple Health and Google Fit so you don’t have to enter your activity information separately.
Keeps you motivated
Meg knows that it can be hard to stay on a weight-loss program. Meg helps keep you motivated with appropriate suggestions and nudges, giving you positive reinforcement and helping you make better choices. This includes learning your preferences and even your mood to respond in ways helpful to you.
Always available
You do not have to schedule an appointment or wait for a meeting. Meg is always available to answer your question or help you succeed with your weight-loss program.
Never judgmental
Meg is never judgmental. Meg knows the ups and downs of weight loss and the daily challenges of losing weight. Meg responds to you with empathy and facts, not judgement.
Affordable
Personalized weight-loss coaching can be expensive. That’s why we set out to make Meg affordable for you – less than the price of a single cup of coffee each month.
