Comments · 21 Views

Breaking bad habits isn’t just willpower—it’s strategy. Identify cues, swap routines, track progress, and let Caloriq keep you accountable.

Kicking a bad habit feels impossible sometimes—whether it’s late-night snacking, skipping workouts, or too much screen time. But psychology offers proven tools to make the process easier.

  • Identify the Cue
    Habits start with triggers—stress, boredom, even certain places. Spotting the cue is step one.
  • Replace, Don’t Erase
    You can’t just remove a habit—you need to swap it. For example, replace soda with sparkling water, or scrolling with a 5-minute walk.
  • Environmental Hacks
    Out of sight, out of mind. Keep chips out of the house. Prep healthy snacks in visible spots.
  • Accountability and Tracking
    Studies show people who track their habits (food, exercise, even sleep) are far more likely to succeed.


Habits aren’t destiny—they’re loops you can rewire.

Luckily, Caloriq gives you a way to track, visualize, and stay accountable, making breaking bad habits less about willpower and more about smart strategy.
