About this app

Changing the Way America Eats – with the Foogal App, harness the power of real food and nutrition to treat and prevent metabolic syndrome.

America’s Problem with Metabolic Syndrome

Here in America, we have a problem with metabolic syndrome, which is a set of conditions that include high blood pressure, high blood sugar, excess body fat around the waist, high levels of triglyceride, and low levels of HDL cholesterol. According to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted by the CDC, approximately 86 million adults in America have metabolic syndrome.

Having metabolic syndrome can increase your risk of developing metabolic syndrome diseases, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, stroke, and kidney disease.

The Solution – How do we prevent and treat metabolic syndrome

Eat Real Food. Several studies have shown that eating a healthy diet that is high in dietary fiber, low in sugar, and offers an appropriate amount of healthy fats and protein for your body and health can prevent and treat metabolic syndrome.

Food Is Medicine. At Foogal, we’ve taken Food is Medicine to a whole new level. We believe that Some Food is Medicine, but not all. The Foogal App eliminates the food-like substances – ultra-processed foods – which are high in sugar, and low in dietary fiber. Ultra-processed foods are not part of our recipes, so it takes the worry out of recipe selection.

Introducing Foogal – The Health App that Helps You Eat Real Food.

Foogal is a simple, easy-to-use health app designed to help you treat and prevent metabolic syndrome by reducing your sugar intake, increasing your fiber consumption, and helping you make the switch from ultra-processed foods to wholesome, nutrient-rich whole foods.

Foogal is based on the research-backed teachings of our Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Robert Lustig, a renowned researcher, pediatric endocrinologist, and author. His work has focused on the role of sugar and fructose in the development of obesity, type-2 diabetes, and other aspects of metabolic health.

Through collaboration with Dr. Lustig, we developed the Metabolic Health Protocol, which is a diet protocol that will help you unlock the power of real food and nutrition to optimize your metabolic health. The Foogal App is the result of this collaboration - a simple, easy-to-use tool that will empower you to reduce your sugar intake, increase fiber consumption, and make the switch to wholesome, nutrient-rich whole foods.

Ratings and reviews

Whoever said eating healthy was bland and boring lied. With this app, I find tasty😋 recipes for my cooking skill level. I'm no chef, and I don't want to spend all day in the kitchen. Conveniently, recipes are sorted by prep time plus items needed for the recipe are added to my weekly shopping list... That saves me TIME. ⌚⏳ Whether I'm in the mood for healthy comfort food or feeling adventurous, I can find different cuisines to satisfy my taste buds... And not at the expense of my health.

Your new food diary/dinner planner! This app allows you to log what you are planning to make for dinner tonight AND next week! You even have access to a grocery list to keep your grocery shopping organized and fast! If you are a Kroger shopper, you can sync your account with this app. Killing two birds with one stone! There is a huge array of recipes listed. You will find a little bit of everything! Sweets included.

It might be a great app if you have no dietary restrictions other than those on their "diet protocols," but for everyday restrictions like gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan, they have no way to narrow down the recipes to only those with or without certain ingredients. There's also no way to search recipes; you just have to scroll until you find one which is time consuming. I gave it three stars because the concept is good.
