Weigh to Live test


Weigh to Live is a new free weight management tool from safefood. We need help to ensure the tool works well for people who have a BMI between 25-30 and would like to reach a healthy weight.

This is a test to check that the tool works well in the real world and find out if there’s anything we need to improve. While we are making sure all our systems are good to go, you might experience some bumps on the road, and we’re keen to hear about any you come across.

What’s involved

  • We will be selecting 20 people with a BMI between 25 – 30 to take part in the test.
  • Participants will keep a weekly diary recording how they are getting on with the tool. The diary entries can be video, audio or text.
  • Testing will begin in January 2022.
  • Participants will be offered vouchers worth €50/£50.

Weigh to Live is a 12-week weight management programme to help people with a BMI between 25 – 30 reach a healthy weight through personalised weekly meal plans. Each meal plan includes breakfast, lunch, dinner and one or two snacks, accompanied by nutritionally analysed recipes.
