Tools and Lessons (continued)
What will participants eat? The Omada program does not prescribe a meal plan or tell participants what they can and cannot eat. It doesn’t encourage a crash-diet mindset. Instead, Omada works with participants through lessons, food tracking, and the guidance of their health coach to learn how to make the healthiest possible choices for themselves independently and sustainably. If they follow a particular diet for cultural, religious, or medical reasons, or just by choice, their health coach can work with them to take the information learned in lessons and apply that learning to their unique lifestyle. Because Omada focuses on building healthy habits that participants can sustain over time, they will not be asked to count calories during the program. Awareness of what they eat is more important to long-term health than counting every calorie, and it’s also a more sustainable lifestyle choice. Is there a certain time participants have to log in to participate? There is no certain time participants must log in at the beginning or throughout the program. They can always complete daily and weekly tasks and interact with their group when it is convenient for them. The Omada website is available to them at all times.
