Veggies that I Love Kick-off Email: Welcome to “Veggies that I Love” 5 day Challenge, Let’s discover which veggies we love so that we can happily eat more veggies.  A month ago I hated eating salads, now I love them. What happened? I discovered two salads that I really like! Now I eat salads often. The challenge starts today. Its easy: every time you receive an SMS send me a text (650 6447398) with one veggie that you love. After 5 days, I’ll send you the list Follow – up Text: (in case they don’t send any SMS) Good Evening Josh, today I realized that one of my friends loves baby carrots. I on the other hand prefer tomatoes, which vegetable do you love?   Stanford University, Spring 2010 CS377v - Creating Health Habits habits.stanford.edu
Theoretical Justifications Main Justification: Identifying your favorite veggies will create a buzz around eating vegetables, hopefully this will shape the user’s behaviors so that in the future they associate veggies with a pleasant taste BJ Fogg’s Model Motivation: User want to eat more veggies Simplicity Easy access: users have their phone with them at all times Low barriers: texting requires almost no effort Triggers The trigger will be an SMS from someone else so we condition people for cue Stanford University, Spring 2010 CS377v - Creating Health Habits habits.stanford.edu
