Nutu 1.3.50

Nutu aims to assist individuals in preventing the progression of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes through a structured 12-month program. The name 'Nutu', derived from the Latin word for 'nudge', encapsulates the essence of this gradual and supportive journey toward health improvement.

The program emphasizes the importance of time and patience, providing participants with a personalized Nutu Score which is determined by factors such as height, weight, daily food consumption, activity levels, and sleep quality. This score serves as a motivational tool, allowing users to track their progress without the need for calorie counting.

One of the program’s standout features is its user-friendly approach to meal planning. Utilizing a straightforward traffic light system, Nutu assists individuals in making healthier food choices whether dining at home or outside. When considering meal options, users receive immediate feedback on how their selections may impact their Nutu Score, empowering them to make informed decisions about their meals. Additionally, practical suggestions for healthier alternatives or portion modifications are provided.

Nutu's methodology is grounded in scientifically-supported practices endorsed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Participants are encouraged to aim for a weight loss of 5-7% of their initial body weight alongside increased physical activity through sustainable lifestyle changes. The program also equips individuals with strategies to navigate challenges that may arise throughout their journey.

Importantly, gym membership is not a prerequisite for success within this program. Everyday activities—such as dog walking or gardening—are recognized as valid contributors to physical activity goals. Participants can also integrate their progress with various activity tracking devices.

Participants will benefit from the guidance of a dedicated lifestyle coach who will provide ongoing support and help in setting achievable short-term goals tailored to individual pacing. The program acknowledges potential challenges and plateaus, equipping coaches to offer strategies that help participants overcome these obstacles. Alongside this coaching support, a digital companion is available 24/7 for any questions that may arise.

Furthermore, Nutu fosters a sense of community by connecting individuals with peers on similar wellness journeys. Within this social team environment, participants can share experiences, exchange tips, and engage in team challenges that promote learning and motivation.

It is worth noting that while the Nutu App incorporates effective strategies from the CDC's prevention program and aims to support those at risk of prediabetes, it does not diagnose or provide medical advice. Participants are encouraged to consult healthcare providers before embarking on any new weight loss plan. The application does connect with personal activity tracking devices but does not interface with medical devices.
