Healthcount

A calmer food journal

Coming off is the hard part.

Healthcount is a tool for GLP-1 users, built for the maintenance phase and coming off, that tracks food, doses and appetite from one diary line a day.

You write in your own words. Nothing is scored red or green, and numbers are optional.

  • Write, say or snap what you ate. It goes into the right meal for you.
  • Log your prescribed doses, and see when the next one is due.
  • Two taps for how hungry you were before and after eating.

Not a prescribing service. Not medical advice.

The app in use: a lunch written in plain words, how hungry it left you in two taps, and two minutes with Pip.

How it works

1

Write

Write, say or snap what you ate, a dose, or how you feel, in your own words. One line is enough.

2

See your day

Food goes into your day's meals and each one is ticked off. Note how hungry you were, before and after.

3

Keep going

Gentle reminders at your meal times help you eat regularly. Numbers are optional, and nothing is scored.

One diary line (10 seconds)
What Healthcount does with it: "Eggs on toast goes into breakfast, and breakfast is ticked off. ‘Felt rushed’ is kept as a note about today. Your dose is logged, and the next one is due on Friday."

Gentle by design

Made with eating disorders in mind: a calm place to write, with no scores and no pressure.

  • No streaks or pressure mechanics
  • No red/green food scoring
  • Numbers are optional: switch them off and it's a plain food journal
  • Words checked for weight stigma, and no “good” or “bad” foods

If prompts increase anxiety or compulsive tracking, we pause and rewrite them.

Who we're built for

A food journal that's on your side.

You write, say or snap what you ate, in your own words, and it goes into the right meal. Once a week, eight quick questions ask about appetite, cravings and control, so you can see a change in how eating feels without waiting for the scale. Numbers are optional.

  • Files what you write into your day's meals, and ticks each one off
  • Tracks the doses your prescriber has set, injection or tablet
  • Asks eight questions a week and shows how appetite, cravings and control are moving

Built for insurer and employer-funded pathways

  • Aggregated, de-identified reporting (minimum group sizes)
  • Governance artefacts: DPIA, privacy/security summary, clinical boundaries
  • Low operational overhead: exception-led, not dashboard babysitting

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Healthcount?

Healthcount is a free UK-built web app for people taking GLP-1 weight-loss medication such as Mounjaro, Wegovy or Zepbound. You write one line a day about food, doses, symptoms and weight, and it keeps the timeline. It is built for the maintenance phase and for coming off the medication, the part that usually gets no support. It sets no diet, no target and no dose, and it is not medical advice. Healthcount also publishes the GLP-1 Price Index, open data on what UK pharmacies charge for these medicines.

Is this a weight loss programme?

No. It's a tool for the maintenance phase and coming off. It tracks food, doses and appetite, and it never sets a diet or a dose.

How much do I have to track?

As much or as little as you like. One line is enough to start, and it goes into the right meal for you. Numbers are optional: switch them off and it is a plain food journal. Nothing gets scored red or green.

Does Healthcount provide medical advice?

No. It supports routines and signposts when to seek clinical help.

What do employers/insurers see?

Aggregated, de-identified reporting only. No individual employee health data is shared.
