\"introducing<\/a><\/p>\n

Autumn greetings from Foodstand! It has been busy at Foodstand headquarters, and we want to take a moment to update you about an exciting development that we\u2019ve been cooking.<\/p>\n

Did you know that we are twice as likely to succeed at developing a new habit if we do it with a buddy<\/b>? You probably do, which is why so many of you have connected with each other on the Foodstand app\u2019s buddies tab, and regularly engage in the community forum\u2014sharing your Challenge experiences and successes, asking questions, and showing support for one another\u2019s good eating habits. But what if you could take that group accountability one step further? Well, now you can!<\/p>\n

Introducing <\/b>Foodstand for Teams<\/b><\/a>. Within the last year we launched Foodstand\u2019s Team Challenges across schools, universities and workplaces\u2014allowing groups\u00a0of individuals to work together toward better health, one bite at a time. And we are happy to report that our teams see a completion rate of over 70 percent.<\/p>\n

Better employee, student and family health begins with better food choices each day\u2014small changes make a huge impact. Increasingly, employers are seeing the effect of wellness programs on employees’ happiness and performance, and on their companies’ bottom lines. And educators have begun to notice the impact that a healthy diet has (through good nutrition education and implementation) on the ability for their students to learn.<\/p>\n

Foodstand for Teams allows groups of individuals to build the ‘rules for good eating’ joyfully into daily life together, using simple tracking on our mobile-first, turnkey platform to enable lasting change and deliver profound effects. Our detailed weekly reports\u2014customized for your team\u2014reveal trends, behaviors, outcomes, retention and more. This is not a passive program. Our goal is to improve our impact by providing your company or school with a custom-fit program including personalized education (video and in-person workshops), and intraoffice\/intraschool competitions to suit your unique needs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Challenge was a good one for PS20, and fit an area we were tying to improve.\u00a0We liked the community feel to the Challenge,\u00a0and that students, teachers, and parents\u00a0could nudge each other or congratulate each other.\u201d
\n<\/i>– Christine Drago, Health Educator at PS20, New York, NY<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m definitely feeling less hungry, am not craving snacks\/sweets as much and have actually lost a few pounds.\u201d
\n<\/i>– Anonymous, WeWork, Detroit, MI<\/p>\n

“I got into the habit of choosing water over other things.\u201d
\n<\/i>– Anonymous, University of Michigan<\/p>\n

“The easy button to congratulate or nudge teammates was fun.\u201d
