Choosing a Diet Mode

What the seven modes are, what applying one actually changes, and where to apply it

5 min readUpdated Sep 2, 2026

ClapDiet has six specialised modes and a Standard mode. Every mode is included on every plan, including the free one.

What a mode changes

A mode is a setting on your recommendations, not a different app. When you apply one, ClapDiet rebuilds your recommended foods with that mode's targets and its list of foods to limit, layered on top of what your lab results, health conditions, medications and allergies already decide. A set of recommendations stays current for 30 days, and applying a mode again rebuilds it.

On the phone, each mode also opens its own screen with one or more trackers built for it. Those trackers read the same food, water, blood-pressure and fasting logs as the rest of the app, so nothing is logged twice.

The seven modes

  • Standard - the general targets, and nothing avoided beyond your own allergies and conditions. See Standard Mode.
  • Sports Hydration - a higher sodium ceiling and potassium floor for training days, and three workout screens on the phone. See Sports Hydration Mode.
  • Keto (listed as Keto/Low-Carb on the phone) - foods with added sugar are limited, fibre is kept up, and the phone tracks net carbs against a 25 g limit. See Keto Mode.
  • DASH Diet (listed as Blood Pressure on the phone) - high-sodium, high-saturated-fat and added-sugar foods are limited, with a 1,500 mg sodium cap, and the phone logs blood pressure. See DASH Mode.
  • Kidney Stone Prevention - high-oxalate and high-sodium foods are limited, calcium is kept adequate, and the phone estimates oxalate and tracks water. See Kidney Stone Prevention Mode.
  • Intermittent Fasting - added sugar is limited, protein is kept up, and both apps time your fasts. See Intermittent Fasting Mode.
  • General Wellness - a higher fibre target and a daily wellness score on the phone. See General Wellness Mode.
  • You use one mode at a time. Applying another replaces it.

    Where to apply a mode

    On the web

  • Open Diet Modes in the navigation.
  • Read a card, or click Learn More for its full feature list.
  • Click Apply this mode. If you are signed out the button reads Sign in to apply and brings you back here afterwards.
  • Your recommendations are rebuilt and you land on Recommendations, where the chips under Diet mode show which mode is active.
  • The same choice is the first step of onboarding, under Choose your health mode. You can skip it there with Not sure yet — decide later and come back to Diet Modes any time.

    On the phone

  • Tap Diet Modes at the top of Home.
  • Under Available Modes, tap a mode. Its badge turns to Active and your recommendations are rebuilt with it.
  • Tap the active mode's card to open its screen and trackers.
  • If the rebuild fails, for example while offline, the phone keeps your choice and tells you so. Tap the mode again to retry.

    Choosing

    Pick the mode that matches what you are managing. If nothing fits, stay on Standard: your lab results and conditions already shape your recommendations, and every tracker that is not mode-specific, such as food, water, weight and symptoms, is available whichever mode you are in.

    A mode is nutrition guidance, not medical advice. If you have a condition such as kidney disease or take medication that affects potassium or sodium, talk to your clinician before choosing a mode that raises those targets.
