Imagine working in a bakery - surrounded by fresh bread and sweet treats all day, it would be quite challenging to adhere to your healthy eating goals. This was the exact predicament faced by Kyrstin "Maggie" Reeves from Pennsylvania until she stumbled upon the Simple app.

"I have loved food my entire life; I love to eat, I love to bake, I love sweets, and that has been my biggest struggle," confesses the 30-year-old mother of three. She was already cognizant of the potential health benefits of intermittent fasting - a dietary pattern where you cycle between periods of eating and fasting - but lacked the motivation to implement it herself.

That's when Simple and its AI coach became instrumental for Kyrstin. The app is currently offering a 60% discount with the code REACH60.

It provides personalised workouts, nutrition analysis, and an encouraging coach, all based on the science behind intermittent fasting. All you need to do is input your details, including your health goals and past experiences with weight loss, and the app will generate personalised workout plans and nutritional information.

The AI coach, named Avo, is there to motivate you on your journey and answer any queries you might have. "Avo has taught me a lot about what I could be doing better, and [given me] encouragement throughout the whole process," Kyrstin said, reports The Mirror. 

Kyrstin extolled the virtues of the app, particularly its feature of providing nutrition scores. "To be able to get information on what I was eating and being able to track the nutrition of everything I was consuming was amazing," she enthused.

The outcome has been transformative for her: "I have lost 26 pounds with Simple, I have another 25 to go until I hit my goal, and then it's just about toning and staying where I want to be," Kyrstin shares with a smile. Her dress size plummeted from an 18 to a 10 thanks to Simple.

Brianna Alexander, another satisfied user, shed an impressive 60lbs over three years. She credits her success to the app's tracking capabilities: "I'm really grateful that I'm tracking it [her nutrition] and staying consistent, and the app makes it really easy - you can set up push notifications on your phone so you don't forget to track or start a fast, and I highly recommend it."

Kelly Hartmann also reaped the benefits, losing 15lbs in just four months. She was amazed by the app's impact, saying: "It provided so much education as to why I had the habits that I had, and the best way to change those habits and it just fit right in with my day-to-day life, which is something that I had never found with any weight loss product."

These testimonials come from genuine Simple app users who have received compensation for their honest feedback. Individual results may vary.

Meanwhile, Trustpilot shows an impressive 4.2-star rating for the app; however, some users have shared their critical impressions. "It is useful for tracking but I don't think it is worth the cost for my needs. I will not be purchasing after the first 3 months," commented one customer.

Another expressed disappointment, saying: "I was looking for an app for weight training for after menopause. This is not it."

Also, a user reported difficulty with the interface: "It's confusing to navigate and too many screens to get stuck on."

If your aim is food tracking, give MyFitnessPal's basic version a try - it's free. Or if it's weight training you're after, Caliber could be ideal for beginners, offering free access with optional in-app purchases.
