MY FOODBOOK + Diätplan: what can you do yourself?

MY FOODBOOK and a diet plan are tools for self-monitoring and dietary self-management. You can independently keep a food diary, log meals, and identify patterns—such as calorie intake, macronutrient distribution, or eating behaviors. A personalized diet plan based on your own data (e.g., blood markers, DNA variants like MTHFR or CYP1A2) can help you make targeted adjustments. However, without medical or nutritional guidance, you risk nutrient deficiencies or unbalanced diets. Evidence for pure self-tracking apps is mixed; long-term success depends on consistency and realistic goals. For health concerns or specific aims (e.g., sports, weight loss), professional advice is recommended. What you can do yourself: estimate portion sizes, improve food quality, plan meals ahead, and listen to your body's signals. Caution: No diet plan replaces medical diagnosis or therapy. The evidence for personalized nutrition is growing but not yet clinically validated for all markers.
