Lose weight without losing your social life
The long dinners. The wine with friends. The croissant on a slow Sunday. Whether you want to lose a few kilos or just feel better in your body, these aren't what's holding you back, they're what makes it worth it. We're building a way to lose weight that doesn't take over your life or pull you away from your friends.
- Keep your dinners with friends
- Never the odd one out
- See the weight come off
Losing weight doesn't ban the little pleasures
The meals, the laughs, the friends
The wine with friends, Sunday’s croissant, the long dinners — keep them. Over the week it all evens out, and the week is what counts.
I don't have to say no when friends invite me out anymore.
If any of these sound familiar, you're our kind of person
- 01 Checking the menu online before you'll vote on which restaurant
- 02 Quietly scanning the table for the lowest-calorie, highest-protein dish
- 03 Bringing your own cherry tomatoes and zero soda to a dinner party
- 04 Doing the math mid-conversation: skip the bread, save room for dessert
- 05 Counting down all week to your one allowed cheat meal
We've done every one of these. It's exhausting, it kills the joy of eating, and the worst part? It doesn't even work.
The restaurant, the wine, the croissant with friends, that's exactly what we want to lose weight for. And there's a better way to do it.
I loved the moment, zero regret. And my week still held.
You shouldn't have to choose between losing weight and seeing your friends
All that quiet effort turns you into the odd one out at your own dinner. But here's the thing: enjoying the meal with everyone isn't what keeps the weight on. Giving up is.

- Eating with friends is part of a good life, never a setback.
- No single meal makes or breaks anything. It's the whole that counts.
- Guilt has never made anyone healthier. It just makes them quit.
- The plan you can actually live with is the only one that ever works.
So we're building the opposite of a diet app. One that helps you lose the weight without ever asking you to skip dinner with friends.
I don't go to bed kicking myself over what I ate anymore.
Logging a meal is just a photo
-
1. Snap a photo of your plate
Or just type what you ate, a few words is enough. No kitchen scale, no scrolling through endless lists to find the right thing. If you ever want one meal to be exact, scan the barcode. That's the whole effort.
-
2. Get a rough estimate, not a verdict
In a couple of seconds you get a range, not a number pretending to be precise. It doesn't need to be perfect, because it's the week that counts, not any single meal. At a restaurant, you don't pull out a scale — and you don't need to.
-
3. Your week fills in on its own
Each meal you snap quietly joins the others, building a week you can read at a glance. Nothing to tally, nothing to close out at night. You glance, and you carry on with your life.

Roughly right is enough. No chasing decimals.
Free, and staying that way
The heart of it costs nothing, today and always.
Dinner out with friends, no math
Restaurants, friends, the night out. The last-minute ones too.
A friend who happens to know nutrition
No nutrition expertise needed. Ask it anything, in plain words, and it answers from what you've actually eaten, not from a rulebook. It follows your week and leaves all the room in the world for restaurants, friends, and the good nights out. It will never make you feel bad about a meal.

Dinner out with friends tonight. Am I still okay?
Totally. Your week’s got room, so go enjoy it and order what you fancy.
Your questions
Is it accurate? +
These are estimates, not exact numbers, and we're upfront about that. A photo gives a range. Over a week, the small misses cancel out and the picture stays honest. Want one meal exact? Scan the barcode.
Do I have to weigh everything? +
Never. A photo or a few words is plenty. Barcodes are there if you want a meal precise, but it's always your choice.
Where do my photos go? +
Your photos and meals are sent to an AI service (Google Gemini, OpenAI) only for the estimate, and only after you consent. You can use everything without AI: barcodes and manual entry work without sending anything.
Is this a diet app? +
Not in the usual sense. There's no meal plan to follow, no foods banned, no daily score to hit. You set your own goal, and Gustara shows you your week honestly so you can get there at a pace you can actually keep up, without weighing every gram.
Does it cost anything? +
Logging your meals is free. It's the heart of the app, and it'll stay that way.
