Variation leads to Motivation

I have downloaded various intermittent fasting apps, and this one seems to be the most thorough and interesting. It keeps fasting doable by varying the fasting regime each week, and I don’t have to log in foods or times. I’m kind of getting a kick out of the little mini „trophy“ goals, too. I like that I can rely on something/someone outside of myself to keep me accountable and give me structure to this rather difficult job of putting boundaries on my eating times. I have not paid for the coach version, but decided to take a stab at choosing a plan for myself. I may end up signing up for the coach, but at this point I’m getting a good program without it.

Love it!

I really love the way you can plan your own schedule or have like a pre-made schedule. A couple things I think could improve the app, I feel like people really like to personalize things like this, I feel like if I were allowed to add a picture, or customize my avatar that I would enjoy the app experience a little more. Also, I think it would be cool if you had like articles or blogs or something like a “learn about fasting while you fast” kind of section, because sometimes you get so bored and hungry while you’re fasting, I think it would be cool if you had stuff to do in the app.
Anyway, just suggestions.

I love everything else about this app!

Response from developer

We really appreciate feedback from our users and bring all those suggestions to our development meetings. I'm sure that we can integrate many of those into future versions of the app. We work hard to make BodyFast better and better every day.

Needs development for flexibility

I like this app. I would give it five stars...except for its inflexibility regarding meal times and the uselessness of the coach program. It uses algorithms which are preset and there is no apparent response to one’s notes. Why have notes if they are not read?
I am almost 72, have lost 40+ lbs in the last five months, three months using BodyFast app. But I am on meds for a seizure disorder as well as BP meds and really like the OMAD 22-2 plan, but I need to eat something for my stomach before taking strong meds. You cannot really adjust the meal times; it comes back week-after-week with the same two-hour eating between 6-8pm. IF there is going to be an update, WHEN? Otherwise I will look for a different app.

Helped me lose +30lbs

This app is perfect for people who are new to intermittent fasting. I moved away to college and ended up going from 132lbs to 165lbs at my heaviest.

I tried other diets that failed miserably and made me gain all my weight back instantly, and never found a workout routine that I consistently stuck to. Intermittent fasting was admittedly hard to stick to at first, but with enough persistence and getting myself back on track I was able to get my weight down to 130lbs. Intermittent fasting has “reset” my stomach or rather how much food I can intake in one sitting. You should be warned that in order to see real weight loss results, you have to pair intermittent fasting with healthier eating and moderate to light weekly exercise.

I have been using this app for two years now and have never purchased anything on this app, I was able to lose all the weight by just using the free services provided. I would recommend this app to people who are brand new intermittent fasting or people who are seasoned to fasting.

It’s great

I love this app and recommend to others. I am not using the premium version but I still love this app. It alerts me when I am close to or am starting my eating period or fasting period. I get a notification an hour before each starts. I wanted to start intermittent fasting since I wanted to lose weight but without always having to eat healthy and workout. Now I eat semi-healthy and get my workout from my gym class in school. I’ve only used it for one week but I’ve lost 1.5 lbs and I ate cake most of the week and had pizza and everything unhealthy and greasy. Anyway I definitely recommend trying fasting if you don’t want to have the hassle of trying to eat extremely healthy. At the beginning it is a bit difficult but after a few days you get used to it and you aren’t hungry. I use the 16-8 fasting method and skip breakfast. I am a student so I don’t fully skip breakfast but I only eat a small and healthy breakfast. This way I don’t get hungry until lunch.

Can’t Cancel this app

The developers have designed this app that makes it extremely difficult to cancel it. Most apps have a easy click but this they keep you running around in circles with a auto reply letter with suggestions that don’t easily feed you through to cancellation. So treat with extreme caution. Also once you get into fasting you don’t need an app as you just write your own timetable which is all the app really does. Biggest waste of money!!
Please forward me the provided link rather than telling me there’s a provided link which I have clearly stated I cannot find a easy link. This is the type of vagueness most people hate when using apps.

Really seeing results!

I’m enjoying my results after just two weeks that’s why I’m marking it a 4 I’m down 4lb within 6 days that includes a 30hr fast. I signed up for the three month Coach. Power Week 1 & 2 which I’ve done are both apparently part of the free app. So I’m unsure what I’m actually getting for the price.

The challenges seem stock and not really customized. I don’t seem to be getting any daily customization or counsel. I think this would really be a value if it included a calorie counter or linked to an an app like My Fitness Pal.

But...I’m losing weight and feeling good so I’m marking it a 4 and not complaining. I will say too that the connection with the IF FB page is HUGE!!!! Having a community to cheer you on is awesome. Though I don’t see why this isn’t all linked through the actual app...

Amazing

I started this as I am very insecure about my weight and I found it very hard to start with. Once I have done a week it got easier to skip meals and I even completely cut out sugar for another week which is very hard for me as I’m am addicted to it. I have done this for 2 weeks starting my 3rd and I have almost lost 2kgs. I am so happy thank you developers.
