PICKKA Shop to Lose
Let’s Move is First Lady Michelle Obama’s initiative against childhood obesity. Let’s Move has been created to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation.
With that thought in mind PICCKA has made shopping for healthier foods for your family a little easier.
Maintaining a healthy diet to control weight and health conditions is about managing the nutrient balance of the food you eat, and what you eat is predicated by what you buy. PICKKA’s Shop to Lose ™ helps you buy the right food by steering you to the proper products as you shop, based on your diet program and health profile. Shop to Lose balances your macronutrient mix, tracks your weight and glucose levels, and keeps your household pantry stocked with healthy choices. It’s a personal Dietitian in Your Pocket ™ every step of the way:
- Smart shopping list ™: All food products in grocery stores are analyzed and screened per your weight and health objectives. You can virtually pick any food items from any grocery store – 130,000 plus products – in seconds.
- Health Sidekick ™ sets the right balance of carbs, fat and protein per personal diet preference and health profile and reminds you every step of the way. Recommendations are made according to your buying pattern, severity of the health condition and weight loss progress.
- All aspects of foods are covered: Not only does Shop to Lose cover fresh and packaged foods in grocery stores but also dishes in major restaurants.
- Family Profile Manager ™ allows you to set up multiple profiles to fit different requirements and health conditions for individual members of your family.
- Motivator keeps you motivated by sharing your health enhancement and weight loss progress with your friends using Facebook or Twitter. It even allows you to bet on your weight loss and win some along the way.

Moms Thought
- I am a Mom of three teen aged boys, all of whom eat differently.
- I am busy!
- How am I going to learn how to use this app that has so many functions?
At first I felt this is too much work, then I thought one step at a time. What I really think is key here is not to be overwhelmed with all PICKKA Shop to Lose can do and just use what works for you. I will add as I go.
We are not pre diabetic or overweight, but I would love to teach the kids better food choices before they are all grown up and on their own. I decided to start with the restaurant functions first and will wait until school is out to dive into the actual grocery items. What I think will be key here is to make this fun, exciting and most of all rewarding in some way.
Did you know that the difference between a McDonalds hamburger and McDonalds cheeseburger is 50 calories? There are 20 more calories in a Baskin Robins 4 oz chocolate ice cream then in a 4 oz Baskin Robins vanilla ice cream. I could spend hours learning some fun facts about what we eat with this new app but will it really help us eat better? Time will tell.
What has helped you make healthy food choices for your family.
