How does Carb Conscious work?
The Carb Conscious plan focuses on limiting the number of simple carbohydrates eaten, helping your body burn the right type of fuel. When you learn how and what types of fuel your body needs to perform at its optimum level you will start to feel better, and lose weight.
By limiting your carb intake and changing which carbs you chose to eat you will effectively train your body to burn the fat stores you have in addition to using the foods you eat as energy. This is part of the science behind why lower carb diets work.
Why not just go Keto?
Eliminating carbs altogether or going on a super low carb diet only works temporarily and is not truly sustainable long term in my opinion. Balance is the key here. Eating healthier complex carbs will have a much healthier long term effect on your body. Keto is one of the lowest carb diet plans out there.
Keto works but is it long term sustainable? That depends on you. For me, the answer was a resounding no. I needed more carbohydrates in my diet to feel normal. The wonderful thing about Healthi formerly iTrackBites is you can choose which plan works the best for you and if you want you can try several of them.
Is Healthi formerly iTrackBites a Good App?
In the Healthi formerly iTrackBites app, you will find a huge amount of recipes a zero points list, and lots of community members willing to support you. On their website, you will find a sample meal plan, (I love meal plans) an extensive overview of each plan, and the zero bites list. I am most excited about the zero bites list as it allows me to add healthy filling foods to my meal plans without adding bites. These help me feel full longer and gives me ideas for snacks on those days when I need a little extra. That is an awesome app.
What plan is Carb Conscious like?
Carb Conscious is closest to the points plus plan that was introduced by Weight Watchers in 2011. for those of you who have followed Weight Watchers and have had success on that plan and wondered how you could continue using that plan, this is it!!!

How many Bites do I get on Carb Conscious?
This is a tricky question. It varies based on 5 criteria. You have three types of Bite allowances which are similar to points on the myWW plans.
Daily Bites
Your Daily BITE allowance is the number of BITES you can eat
that day. This number will be personalized to you based on your
age, gender, height, weight, and activity level.
Weekly Bites
Your Weekly BITE allowance is an extra allowance of BITES that
you can divide up how you would like (split them up evenly,
save them for the weekend, or don’t use them at all). This is
your opportunity to cater the Carb Conscious diet to your
lifestyle.
Activity Bites
Activity BITES are similar to Weekly BITES and are awarded to
you when you exercise. There’s a balance between what you
consume and what you expend. Therefore, when you exercise
we reward you with BITES because your body expended more
calories.
I have found that I use activity bites to overcome a plateau. I don’t use them regularly but when I know I am exercising more and using more calories my body tends to get into a rhythm and does not lose or gain weight. I learned this by tracking what I ate and how my body reacted as well as how I felt during those times.
I learned that when I hit a plateau, I need to eat more calories during the day to boost my metabolism a bit and continue to lose weight. I know this is different for everyone and I would suggest tracking using a journal, as well as the app, so you can go back and look at what you were eating and how you felt.
My journals are full and I have several (I buy one a year, sometimes two) of them so I can look back a year or more and see what was working and what wasn’t. This helps me to not make the same mistakes as well as showing me what was working so I can duplicate that success.

I am so excited to find a program that duplicates the old points and points plus system from weight watchers. I lost 40 lbs with points plus, then they changed the program( taking away everything about ww that made it successful- the new plan left me feeling frustrated and angry because I had to give up completely many of the foods I enjoyed in moderation on points plus-a healthy muffin went from 6 points to 24! And despite skipping all the treats and plunking down $20 a month-I lost nothing)and haven’t been successful since.. I gained weight on noom…so looking forward to trying iTrackBites at an affordable price. Thank you for all this helpful information!
Thank you so much for your comment if you have any trouble please reach out and let me know. I will help or direct you to someone who can.
Why can’t they let you do the plan on your computer instead of just a phone APP. I have the App, but I have vision impairment and doing all this on my phone is a major pain in the butt, not to mention my eyes. At least WW allows you to have the app + features and to be able to do it on your computer as well. It’s a deal breaker for me.
My smartphone is showing I have 5 messages on my ihealthi icon. How do I retrieve those messages?
