When you first start test driving or transitioning to this lifestyle, it might seem like you spend a disproportionate amount of time reading labels, and you're right. There is an investment of time and patience up front as you learn about new foods, try new recipes, and form new eating patterns.
During this time, any assistance can be extremely helpful. A client of mine recommended the NxtNutrio app for my smart phone. It costs $2.99 and can be used on both an iPhone and an Android, however, the creaters caution that consumers are experiencing barcode scanning issues with the Samsung Galaxy S4.
The app enables users to indicate what characteristics of
food they want to identify, such as if the product is vegan or not genetically modified.
Simply scan the bar code of the product and it will register with a green checkmark or a red x, depending upon its ingredients, saving you the time and aggravation of reading everything in the ingredients list. You can then choose to save the scanned product to a customized list for future reference so that you don't have to rescan products each time you grocery shop.
They admit that not every product is in their database yet, but that they are working diligently to populate it, and they do provide users with the capability to add new products themselves.
When new to a plant-based lifestyle, you may not be familiar with the names of some of the ingredients that have an animal origin, and this app will help you to identify products containing animal ingredients that might
otherwise have slipped under your radar.
Here is the link to the app. If you decide to give it a try, please let me know what you think.
