Interrupt the Habit™ SnackBreak helps you become more aware of automatic snacking habits. Most snacking isn't driven by hunger. It's driven by routines, boredom, stress, convenience, and habit. SnackBreak is designed to help you recognize those moments before they become automatic. Instead of counting calories, scanning barcodes, or logging every meal, SnackBreak focuses on one simple question: "What are you reaching for?" By creating awareness around everyday snack choices, SnackBreak helps you better understand your habits, recognize patterns, and make more intentional decisions over time.
