What I learned:
The most important takeaway from this project is that I learned how to apply solution to a real-world problem. The mystification of dieting due to marketing tactics has left a majority of western society confused on where to start. This project serves as a very simple first step for someone looking to make a big lifestyle change, regardless of their age.
On the technical side, this project has helped me sharpen my skills with managing forms in HTML and handling user input in JavaScript.
