Do you mean all of this as you write it?
Do your parents spy like that? And your grandfather? Al least your pet? Then even the 18th century does not look brighter.
Got a tip for us?

Do your parents spy like that? And your grandfather? Al least your pet? Then even the 18th century does not look brighter.
It works by remembering anything with a barcode, which includes all sorts of meats and frozen vegetables.
... Great. So we just need to give up any concept of eating anything fresh or not pre-packaged, and we're golden.
Nice accomplishments!! VERY happy for you.
Growing up I was incredibly skinny, and a super fast metabolism helped with running up and down building hallways with friends, track and field and soccer after school with Judo or weekends. When not doing those in the summer it was bike riding some 10-30kms on the weekends. So my weight was stable until I hit your age and ... bloat lol.
Major key tips that I can offer:
1. Lots of water - it'll feel like you're forcing yourself to drink. Set an alarm in reminders and keep that water bottle close by. it'll be an extension of your arm until it becomes second nature.
2. Meal prep!
- Bodybuilders, athletes etc set 2 days a week for cooking and preparing and packing meals with healthy snacks!
Saturday: prepares Sunday, Monday and Tuesday,
Wednesday: prepares Thursday, Friday, Saturday.
^ as an example.
3. Mobility and movement:
- If you own a car and regularly take it down the block to a store = STOP! Walk! Pretend you don't own the car for simplistic trips.
- If you're watching a movie at home, lye down on your back and start some lower leg lifts, crunches, russian twists all for the core, do them slowly allowing you to keep most of your site on the movie.
^ I've just started doing this and it's helping.
Hoping this helps. If you have a dog or kids that need to get outside ... actively playing with them will surely keep your mobility up.
We are what we eat! Such an old yet profound saying so keep at it. You've accomplished a greatness, don't let it get to your head, maintain or excel , You've GOT THIS!
What a ridiculous response. Do you cut slabs off meat off the cow or pig out in your yard?
The question was about “only highly processed.” There are barcodes on all sorts of foods that aren’t highly processed.
It's called Sarcasm, look it up.
No I don't butcher my own pigs. I do however tend to buy meat and fruits and vegetables that aren't pre-packaged.
And, for that matter, if someone were sufficiently motivated, it’s pretty straightforward to print out your own barcodes for broccoli, carrots, bananas, etc. and put it on the fridge. Scan the barcode, enter a weight, and you’re done. It’s usually faster than looking up multiple items.
It’s pretty common for fruits and vegetables not to have barcodes, though that’s easily handled.
I don’t remember the last chicken, beef, or pork that didn’t, though, even from a butcher shop.
Again, there are all kinds of foods that aren't highly processed but that have barcodes. Which was my original response in the context of someone asking for how it would work outside of highly processed foods.
Well, a line has to be drawn somewhere. Why not have built in functionality to maintain a stamp collection? Something to check that my car's tyres have the legal minimum tread?
Some applications are so common nowadays that they are assumed to be present. And I accept that sometimes, an app might be better off as an OS function - like the torch.
Apps that become part of IOS can't be updated through the store, and they are always present in the OS update .ipsw file, whether or not you use them.
Well, iOS can already track your weight and calories out, why not calories in?
We're just a couple of weeks away from the unveiling of iOS 15, and we've heard surprisingly little about what to expect from the new update. There are sometimes major software leaks when new versions of iOS are approaching, but that hasn't happened this year.
An unverified source that spoke to writer Connor Jewiss this week revealed some possible new features that we might expect from iOS 15. No screenshots are available, but Jewiss says that he has "seen" iOS 15.
Jewiss suggests that Apple plans to add a new food tracking feature to the Health app, but it is unclear how expansive this feature might be. It could potentially allow users to log the food items that they consume, providing nutritional details and calorie tracking functionality. It is not known if users will need to manually enter all info or if Apple is working on some kind of food database.
The source said that we could also see user interface changes that were spotted in screenshots of Accessibility features believed to be coming in iOS 15, unveiling inset cells and merged navigation bars, as first highlighted by 9to5Mac.
There may also be some minor dark mode tweaks to the various color options, such as iMessage bubbles, and changes to the way that notifications are grouped on the Lock Screen. Jewiss has also pointed to unspecified tweaks to the Messages app, with little additional information provided about these features, something that Bloomberg already highlighted in an iOS 15 report.
Bloomberg in April also said that there will be notification updates that will allow users to set notification preferences based on current status, which Jewiss says he can confirm. As outlined by Bloomberg, users will, for example, be able to tweak how notifications are delivered when they're awake, working, sleeping, and more.
In a separate report, iMore's Oliver Haslam has corroborated Jewiss' report and says that he has received similar information, though he cautions that this is a "new source" so some of what's been suggested might not pan out. It is unclear if this information comes from a single source that spoke to both Jewiss and Haslam, or two separate sources.
Haslam's information is largely the same, though he says that there will be a new look for the Lock Screen that's "complication-based."
We may see additional details about iOS 15 leak out as the Worldwide Developers Conference approaches, but with the keynote scheduled for June 7, we don't have long to wait before we see the update in its entirety.
For more on what's coming in iOS 15, we have a dedicated iOS 15 roundup with all of the available details we've heard so far.

althiugh I’m sure we all know what is implied here, but I just realized the subject is terrible. Grocery store produce, packaged, can and other suppliers track food. The subejext should be adjusted saying Food nutrition tracking feature, cause people don’t track the food we track the nutrition content within that we eat.
unless you’ve ordered Blood Oranges at your kids school out of season, then hell you’ll wanna track that
Too many sources tracking personal data is never a good thing. Smaller companies get bought out, or their business focus could change and thus their privacy & security policies as well as advertising and how they handle YOUR data.
first iOS needs to remove the bloat of WatchOS data that occurs when unpairing and repairing the same watch to iPhone. It should track the data and keep in Secure Enclave - NOT track eachWatch pairing and segregate the data.
Same user,
Same Watch,
Same data for THE user.
I finally got lifetime last year. D'oh. Though only have 12 mini so if LIDAR speculation is correct, it won't help me.
Only if it's optional and requires password to enable on each device. Lot of people share iPads, despite Apple refusing to implement multiuser.
Also 30% of American teenagers are overweight or obese, 10x as many as have eating disorders. Maybe it would be useful if it could be disabled with parental controls for cases like hers, but on the whole it will do more good than harm even for teenage girls.
it depends how it’s handled.
- WatchOS Heath data is kept in separate silos for each connection of a Watch, not all the day from the same watch that was reset any amount of times, and not collated into 1 continuous record like that of a lifespan of the person should be. Your health day from 6yrs ago has YOU as the constant so why not the health data to be constant and not related only to each connection of the watch? That ads huge bulk.
nutrition consumption data is just text and graphs to layout that text sry can be done on the fly, not adding bulk. 1 database is needed not separate DRT ase records or instances like what is going on with Watch data which annoyed me because to the end user looking at the data it’s confusing:
I have 2yrs of health data between S3 and S4. I’ve paired 2 S3’s more than once a piece to my iPhone 8. 1 of those S3’s was reset and repaired to my iPhone, then warranty replaced for another S3. WatchOS and iOS doesn’t make it easily understood which watch which iteration of pairing holds which health data in the db in Health app. So if you delete the watch and delete the “source” for health data - then the data is gone with it. Happened with the S4 also to my old iPhone 8. So I should’ve began with “I had 2yrs of health data”.
personally id like the Health data be encrypted to iCloud account and stored in iCloud so when you reset your watch or phone the data is not lost and can be resync’d and updated.
let’s hope Apple has insight when they offer nutrition data.
