EVERYONES PERSONALLY PERFESSIONAL DIETING HELPER
INTRODUCTION
In this age of social networking, information can be spread through the Internet quickly and
wildly as a virus, which is right at a persons fingertips (Stonebridge 2011). Social networking
is the most common reason young people use the Internet. Because of this uncontrollable
way of communication, it results positive effects or very negative ones. Increasingly, social
interaction is happening on websites devoted to eating disorders by some photos, blogs and
posts related to eating disorders (Lin, H.F. 2006). This sort of material makes people want to
harm their bodies even more than they already are in hopes of becoming thinner and
thinner without receiving unhealthy types of support.

deciding on the best option can be daunting
(Raechel 2013).
Supplier power: Low According to Warrens (2010) research, 1412
developers in its database have published apps
for both iOS and for Android. Therefore, there are
a large number of supplier of dieting apps among
the app industry and the supplier power is low.
Threat of new entrants: High In the past two years, the app market has
exploded. The app craze has spread to Android,
Blackberry, and every other mobile market under
the sun. Most of the cost for developing an app
will be taking place in development, design, and
IT architecture (Thomas 2014). The dieting app, a
king of simple, table based app, costs no more
than $10,000 indicates the weak barrier of
entering.
Threat of substitutes: High The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash
diets nor bursts of exercise. There are a lot of
painless ways to lose weight. Simplely making just
a few simple lifestyle changes can pack a big
weight loss punch over time(Pillinger 2014).
Rivalry among existing
competitors:
High With hundreds of diet apps on the market,
deciding on the best option can be daunting.
Developers are ugerd to improve their products
to attract customers. (Raechel 2013).

can never become default settings (Qualler, 2014). People make a choice about vital they
feel, how healthy you look, and how healthy you are each time you open your mouth and
put something in it. They are lack of information and knowladge of healthy eating. What
they need is support of healthy eating plans.
