Navigating Menus with Confidence: Your Orthorexia Restaurant Recovery Tool

Eating out can feel overwhelming during orthorexia recovery, where unfamiliar menus and uncertainty around ingredients may trigger anxiety. mm food transforms this experience into an empowering step toward food freedom. Here’s how to integrate our app into your restaurant visits:

Step 1: Set Your Preferences Before dining, input your dietary needs pre- or post-recovery in-app. Choose from preset options (gluten-free, vegan) or add custom restrictions (e.g., "no added sugars"). The AI remembers your profile for future use.

Step 2: Translate & Analyze Any Menu Scan a physical menu or upload a digital version. mm food instantly translates it to your native language, then cross-references dishes with your restrictions. It flags unsuitable ingredients and highlights safe, balanced options that align with your recovery goals.

Step 3: Receive Stress-Free Suggestions Get personalized recommendations like:

"The grilled salmon with roasted vegetables is safe. Contains balanced protein + fats. Avoid creamy sauces (dairy alert)." Contextual notes help you make informed choices without obsessive scrutiny.

Step 4: Build Flexibility Gradually Use the “Try Something New” feature to explore dishes slightly outside your comfort zone. The AI assesses nutritional balance, helping you reintroduce foods at your pace while minimizing anxiety.

Why This Works for Recovery

• Reduces Decision Fatigue: Automated analysis replaces hours of menu research.
• Prevents Relapse Triggers: Clear ingredient transparency avoids accidental exposure to feared foods.
• Supports Progress: Encourages gentle expansion of food variety with safety guardrails.

Pair mm food with therapy for optimal results, using it as a bridge—not a crutch—to rebuild trust in food. Reclaim the joy of dining out, one confident choice at a time.
