Three real meals
Skipping a meal does not help: three regular meals, however modest, are a more reliable reference point.
Goal: weight loss, gently
Pom walks with you, without making you feel guilty.
Pom promises no number on the scales by a given date. It follows one simple principle: a moderate energy gap, a diet that stays varied, and a diary that observes rather than judges.
We detect your device to point you at the right store.
What Pom is for
“Weight loss, gently”, concretely
Radish displays no numeric weight-loss promise, no target in kilos and no deadline. There is no universal rate of weight loss that would suit everyone: the journey depends on individual factors — metabolism, activity, life circumstances, history — that the app does not measure.
The reference points draw on the general recommendations of ANSES: a moderate energy gap, placed inside a wide range that varies from person to person — never a single figure displayed as a target for all. The app encourages keeping three real meals, a generous share of vegetables, and physical activity chosen for wellbeing rather than imposed as a calories-burned target.
This page is not suitable for everyone: in case of an eating disorder, past or present, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for minors, calorie tracking requires the prior advice of a healthcare professional. See the dedicated question in the FAQ below.

In the app
How Pom works alongside you
Once the “weight loss” goal is chosen, Pom carries gentle reference points — never medical advice, never an imposed figure to lose.
Pom
“Keep three real meals a day: skipping one does not help you. Be kind to yourself.”
Pom
“Log your meals without judging yourself: noticing is already moving forward.”
Wellbeing reference points reviewed internally before publication, sourced from PNNS/ANSES/EFSA — not medical advice. A food-safety message (an under-eating alert, for instance) is never carried by Pom: it goes through a dedicated mascot, in a plain tone. Sources ›
A sourced example
A filling meal, in actual numbers
Radish ties a food to its reference table when it appears in one, and shows its value as estimated when it does not; the detail is on Methodology and Sources.

Common mistakes
What most often gets in the way of lasting weight loss
Skipping meals to go faster
Skipping a meal often leads to eating more at the next one. Three regular meals remain a more reliable reference point.
Aiming for too large an energy gap
Too big a gap is hard to hold over time and can be tiring without any added benefit.
Cutting out whole food groups
A diet that stays varied is easier to keep up than a list of things you are not allowed.
Watching only the scales
Weight moves day to day for many reasons; the food diary gives a more useful picture over time.
One practical answer to the first three: your own dishes. Custom recipes let you log a meal you actually cook once and reuse it — the app works out its calories and macros from the foods you put in it — so keeping a varied diet does not mean typing ten lines every evening.
Frequently asked
About the “weight loss, gently” goal
Does Radish promise a set number of kilos lost?
No. Radish displays no numeric weight-loss promise: every journey depends on individual factors the app does not measure and cannot predict.
What calorie gap is recommended?
There is no single universal figure: the ANSES reference points place a moderate gap inside a wide range, to be adapted to each person, ideally with a healthcare professional.
Is this page not suitable for everyone?
This page is not suitable in case of an eating disorder, past or present, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for minors. In those situations, the advice of a healthcare professional is required before any calorie tracking.
What if I skip meals or feel guilty after eating too much?
Radish passes no judgement on the meals you log. If skipping meals or feeling guilty after eating becomes frequent, it is better to talk to a doctor or a registered dietitian than to carry on alone.
Can I change goals later?
Yes, at any time in the settings; for example to everyday health (Pousse) or strength training (Brock).
