## What is 80 Bites?

Why the number 80? Ever wonder what all those hard-to-track, pesky serving sizes do for you? A day's allotment roughly ends up being 80 Bites. But that's NOT where we are starting. When you use the 80Bites app, you will get a sound and a question at bite 26. WHY? If your stomach were OK, you would FEEL something. Most of you won't feel anything so keep eating; remember, even if you get to 50 Bites, it is just your current marker.

Tap the "Bite" button each time you put food in your mouth. For now, forget about beverages. Eat solid food - not soup - for the diagnostics part of the stomach training program.

Created by Registered Dietician Meredith Luce RD MS LN and Pilates Expert Joan Breibart, the 80Bites App precedes the 80Bites Program — 12 STEPS developed to downsize hunger — just like Ozempic! Shedding pounds happens automatically when your hunger is tamed. Visit 80Bites.com to subscribe to the 12 STEP Stomach Training program and ditch dieting for good!

A message from Sam the Stomach: 

Hello, Hungry People!

It seems that you eat too often, too much, and food is always on your mind. The 80Bites app is designed to help you manage your eating habits.

Here's how it works: Grab a plate of food and a beverage (please note, sips don't count). Open the app, take a bite, and hit the BITE button. When you reach your 26th bite, a loud noise will sound. This is your cue to stop. Push your plate away and focus on your stomach. We're not referring to the larger area under your belly button but rather the small sausage-shaped container under your left breast.

Can you feel any sensation of fullness? If not, feel free to continue eating. However, make sure to track when you start to feel full. The app's counter goes as high as 99 bites. If you don't reach a sensation of fullness within this limit, perhaps try again at another meal. Remember, a bag of chips doesn't count as a meal.

You might be wondering, why 26 and 80? The answer lies in your hormones. The drug Ozempic works by rebalancing your gut hormones that may be out of sync. With 80Bites and Ozempic, which is soon coming in a handy pill form, you can address this issue in a comprehensive manner.

Ready to get started? Let's embark on this journey towards better eating habits together.

### 3/5 — App changed

*2025-03-13*

I’m not sure what happened to this app but it used to give you a tally of bites for the day; there is no counter now? Please fix that because it’s kind of useless to not be able to see your daily bite count. I don’t want to have to start the counter over each time…..should tell you for the day.

### 1/5 — Disgusting Strategy to Weightloss

*2024-06-24, version 3.0.2*

I received my degree in Health Promotion, Kinesiology, and Health Education. An app like this is not the strategy of wanting to lose weight. The release of hormones is not triggered by the act of controlling the amount of bites. It’s another weightloss scam that tries to profit off of people’s insecurities. If you want to lose weight. Eat at a calorie deficit everyday. Most people naturally burn 2000 daily , eat 1500-1750 cal. Don’t get scammed by rich people in NY.

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2024-01-04*

80bites has transformed my approach to eating while other diets haven’t been so easy to follow. Its user friendly interface makes portion control easy and enjoyable. Its adaptability makes it an effective choice for anyone seeking a realistic way to manage weight and improve their relationship with food.

### 5/5 — Such a cool App thank you !

*2024-01-04*

I’m a fast eater and this app so amazing! It really controls the way I eat and how I think different . I will be recommending this app to friends to control my intake and how I chew my food such a great idea 😃

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2023-12-26*

80bites has really helped me on my weight loss journey. I recommend it to everyone.

### 5/5 — It’s really easy and fun to use

*2023-12-22*

80Bites is a simple and straight forward app that helps you learn to eat less.

### 1/5 — Very helpful

*2023-12-21, version 3.0.2*

"I'm tired of all these dieting plans, this app really helped me just focus on eating less. And that's all you need."

### 4/5 — Interesting app

*2023-09-23*

The 80 bites app is a interesting application that shows that hormones play a huge role in hunger. The more you eat the hungrier you get in the long run. It helps train your body to be aware of what you are eating and how much and to be mindful of when you are full to help maintain you gut health , slim down and calm your mind. Diets typically do not work and can be difficult to maintain in the long run. I know staying on top of workouts, food, hormones, and making sure to watch what I eat due to not having a gallbladder, it can be more difficult. Every body is different.

### 5/5 — This App Helped Me!

*2023-09-11*

I’ve always struggled with my eating: I’d eat too much (binge), and then feel terrible about my body so I’d eat too little. I was never mindful of how I was eating. I cared too much about what I was eating, and paid no attention to the cues my body gave about being full. This app helped me focus on each meal and each bite, and has helped me fully enjoy food again without feeling guilty.

### 5/5 — This app improved my relationship with food!

*2023-09-11, version 3.0.2*

I’ve been trying this app for a little bit and it has already changed the way I eat, I feel so much better and I’m actually finally losing weight! 😍
