Fun Fact: Zipongo was featured in Forbes’ 11 Health and Fitness Apps that Achieve Top Results in 2015.

Zipongo conducted a year-long pilot study with over 300 participants. Biometric data was collected and Food Frequency Questionnaires (FFQs) were filled out by participants before and after the trial. People in the unhealthy range with regard to their waist size saw an almost 2” reduction in waist size. 75% of users reported that their eating habits improved. People for whom the platform recommended to eat more vegetables or fruit, saw a 135% increase in fruit intake and a 91% increase in vegetable intake.
