Dining with Confidence: Using mm food to Support Orthorexia Recovery at Restaurants

Navigating restaurant menus can feel overwhelming during orthorexia recovery, where rigid dietary rules often clash with social dining. mm food bridges this gap by transforming anxiety into empowerment. Here’s how our app supports your recovery journey:

Reduce Decision Fatigue with Smart Filtering

• Input your recovery-aligned dietary preferences (e.g., "no calorie counting," "include all food groups") into mm food
• Instantly see menu items matching your therapeutic goals, reducing obsessive scrutiny
• Customize filters to gradually reintroduce feared foods at your own pace

Eliminate Language Barriers, Embrace Cultural Foods

• Scan any menu with mm food’s translator for real-time native-language descriptions
• Explore culturally diverse cuisines without confusion, supporting flexible eating
• Understand preparation methods to address concerns about ingredient "purity"

Create Positive Restaurant Experiences

• Preview analyzed menus before arrival to minimize pre-meal stress
• Celebrate small victories: Order something outside your comfort zone with AI-backed reassurance
• Share meal choices securely with your therapist to track progress

Recovery Integration Tips

1. Collaborate with Professionals: Set app parameters alongside your treatment team
2. Flexibility First: Use “relax restrictions” mode during exposure therapy
3. Focus on Satisfaction: Filter by cravings, not avoidance

Remember: mm food is a tool, not a treatment. Pair it with professional support to rebuild trust in food and yourself. Every meal is progress.

Orthorexia recovery varies—always prioritize personalized clinical guidance.
