Meals are missing
With the recent release, many high scoring meal suggestions have disappeared. I was advised by Zoe that the score improvements changed some things, however If I search for the meals I find them scored exactly the same, just no longer in my suggestions. Dinner meals used to start with suggestions scoring around 98 and now the highest is in the mid 80s. It would be great to see those high scoring meals again.... part of the longevity of this plan is to keep building out staple dishes.

Good concept, poor execution
The app is problematic. It often kicks you out before you finish entering a meal, forcing you to start over. The recent update is even worse. It is slow and after trying three separate times to enter my breakfast, I gave up out of frustration and time wasted. The database of foods is limited and therefore has limited accuracy (“pick the closest item”) and often the app even contradicts itself in points. The testing part was interesting but for the price of the program the app has a ways to go. Will save you the money: eat more plants, less sugar/processed carbs and meat.

Zoe
I joined the ZOE food plan when I heard the story on the news. I have joined many diets with no improvement. I think it works because you start to feel better before losing weight. My results: more energy, less joint pain, weight loss. Most amazing thing for me my hot flashes are not as intense or frequent.
I have loss 6 pounds in 4 weeks and went off it some days on my vacation. I’m a believer slow weight loss is more advantageous than rapid weight loss.

ZOE is worth every penny and much more!
I learned so much information about MY personal reaction to sugar and fat along with finding out my gut isn’t nearly as healthy as I believed. Wearing the continuous glucose monitor is very eyeopening! I feel empowered to make better food choices that are based on me, not some outdated, cookie cutter approach. Do this! You won’t regret it!

Frustrating
The Zoe program was great up until it was time to use the Zoe Insights App. The app is helpful if all you’re researching is store-bought foods, but the recipe-builder was VERY frustrating to use (get ready to do a lot of mathematical gymnastics.) It was also very difficult to estimate restaurant food. I eventually just gave up in frustration. Even so, it was worth the money I spent on the program. I gained a lot of insight about what to add to my diet to be more healthy and what to avoid (and how to space things out), but since the food journaling was so frustrating, my experience with Zoe will likely result in more holistic, rather than granular, changes. My guess is the result will be similar. Hopefully as they improve the app, it will be an even more valuable experience for others.

Abundance, not lack, consciousness for health and weight management
Zoe customizes a food scoring app to your precise biological needs and gives easy to use instructions and information so you can optimize what you eat to optimize your health and weight. Every time I open the app, I learn something new about which ingredients and brands are best for me, how to make super healthy meals and how to balance foods I love with healthy foods... WITHOUT deprivation or limitations - or guilt.

Excellent
I’ve been in the Zoe program for over a month now, and I love it. I think everyone should follow it and get their personal testing results for their optimal healthy diet. The only thing I don’t like about this app is the recipes section. They provide the ingredients, but not the directions. That’s fine for simple recipes, but for things like cakes it’s not workable. I’m a good cook but I couldn’t do anything with the more complex recipes, it frustrates me because I’d love to make a few of them.

Fantastic app
I’ve done the full Zoe experience. Get the test and get your personalized results. And yes, it is worth it. You need them to use the app to its fullest. Over four weeks I’ve lost 17 pounds by just changing how I eat. Small tweaks make huge differences. Have been pleasantly surprised by how comprehensive the food listing is. Have always been able to find something comparable when my exact food is not there. Love the ability to enter my own recipes and to see the recipes they have entered.
