One plan for everything that makes you you
At Foodpunk you do not pick a ready made plan. You fill in a questionnaire, and then we work out a nutrition plan that takes into account everything that applies to you: lipedema and Hashimoto's, ketogenic and lactose free, losing weight in the middle of menopause. Out of that come filling recipes built on our anti-craving formula, calculated for you gram by gram.

The anti-craving formula
Feeling full is biochemistry. Your gut recognises what is in your food and reports it to your brain. Every Foodpunk meal is built so those signals arrive. Eat better, not less.
For the curious: how the formula works in detail, with studies
Protein stimulates the messengers PYY and GLP-1 in the gut. Both tell the brain that food has arrived (Batterham 2006). That is why protein rich meals are more filling (Leidy 2015). Protein also contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass (EU 432/2012).
Fat releases the hormone CCK in the small intestine. CCK slows gastric emptying, so the food stays in the stomach for longer (Little 2007).
Omega 3 fatty acids from salmon, linseed oil and walnuts are building blocks for messengers that let inflammatory processes settle (Calder 2017). That is why we plan plenty of them in.
Fibre from vegetables, linseed and chia is turned into short chain fatty acids by your gut bacteria. Those stimulate the satiety hormones GLP-1 and PYY (Tolhurst 2012) and lower appetite for hours (Chambers 2015).
Carbohydrates are always combined with vegetables, protein and fat. When the carbohydrates come last, blood sugar and insulin rise far more gently (Shukla 2015).
Ghrelin comes from the stomach and signals hunger. After a diet it often stays elevated for more than a year (Sumithran 2011). That is one reason the hunger comes back after crash diets.
The hypothalamus evaluates all the signals. Two groups of nerve cells work against each other there: POMC cells promote fullness, AgRP and NPY cells promote hunger (Morton 2006).
Micronutrients: your plan is full of vitamins and minerals, thanks to plenty of vegetables, good protein and high quality fats. Magnesium, for example, contributes to the reduction of tiredness (EU 432/2012).

Carbohydrates to suit your metabolism
How many carbohydrates are good for you depends on your insulin sensitivity. You choose your level yourself, in the app questionnaire after your order, and you can switch at any time.
Ketogenic
often chosen with insulin resistance or lipedema
Low carb
a good place to start for many
Moderate
more room in everyday life
Higher carb
for a lot of training, for example
Every level works with every way of eating. Protein, fat and carbohydrates are calculated for you in every recipe, so the change stays easy.
Why insulin sensitivity matters
Insulin sensitivity describes how readily your cells respond to insulin and take sugar out of the blood.
With overweight and obesity, belly fat in particular releases fatty acids and inflammatory messengers. Muscles and liver then respond more weakly to insulin, and the pancreas has to release more of it (Kahn 2006). A high insulin level slows fat breakdown. Fewer carbohydrates mean less insulin, and the body reaches its fat reserves more easily. That is why many people with overweight benefit from keto or low carb.
People who do a lot of sport usually have high insulin sensitivity. Working muscles take up sugar even without insulin, and training empties the glycogen stores (Richter 2013). Carbohydrates refill those stores and supply energy for performance. That is why more carbohydrates often fit here.
These are only examples. You can lose weight at any level, what matters is the calorie deficit. Which level feels right for you is individual, and you can switch at any time.
At every level we combine the carbohydrates with protein, fat and fibre, so you stay full for longer.

Frequently asked questions
Can I enter several conditions?
Yes. In the questionnaire you tick everything that applies to you, along with your goal, way of eating, carbohydrates and allergies. Your plan takes all entries into account together.
What is the anti-craving formula?
It is how we build every meal. Protein, good fats, fibre and carbohydrates are in the ratio that suits you. These nutrients play a part in your body's natural satiety signals. With good protein, high quality fats and plenty of vegetables you are also well supplied with vitamins and minerals.
What does the questionnaire ask?
After your order you answer the questionnaire in the app, which takes around five minutes. It asks for your goal, height, weight, age and everyday life, your sport, your way of eating (everything, vegetarian, vegan, pescetarian, paleo or AIP) and your carbohydrate level. On top of that, 19 allergies and intolerances, around 700 ingredients you do not like, and conditions such as lipedema, Hashimoto's, insulin resistance or diabetes. Is something that matters to you missing? Then write it into the free text field or send our support a note at info@foodpunk.de. We can usually make it work for you.
Which amount of carbohydrates suits me?
That depends mainly on your insulin sensitivity. You choose your level yourself: ketogenic with 30 g, low carb with 50 g or moderate with 100 g a day. You can lose weight at any level, what matters is the calorie deficit. We calculate 200 g or other values on request, just write to info@foodpunk.de.
Can I change my entries later?
Yes, in the app. After 28 days a new calculation is free, because the body needs around four weeks to adapt. All recipes are then worked out with your new values. Send special requests to info@foodpunk.de.
Does Foodpunk replace medical treatment?
No. Your plan helps you with your nutrition. With any illness your doctor remains the first person to turn to.
How do I cancel?
Any time, by email to info@foodpunk.de or with the cancellation button in your customer account. All details are in the terms and conditions.
