Love this app

Great app, lots of content and great pregnancy feature!

This is just what I needed!

Such a refreshing and realistic way to think about food. Some of my old habits are hard to break but with Lyndi’s reinforcement in her books and app, I’m definitely making a breakthrough. It just makes sense. The recipes are the best I’ve seen in a long time…and I read a lot of recipes. Every one has turned out perfectly and I love how you can so easily adjust the servings accordingly.

Keep up the good work Lyndi!

Thank you so much for the awesome review! It makes us so happy to hear you are loving our app and the Back to Basics approach!

Great recipes, suggestions for Hunger Check-In

I love the recipes on this app, love the easy search function where you can search ingredients. There are heaps of different filters like “budget friendly”, “meal-prep”, “lunchbox friendly” which also make searching for recipes super handy.

I downloaded the app because I am doing Lyndi’s Keep it Real program, so I really like that it has a built in huger check-in. I do have a couple suggestions about this feature though - the terms used to rate hunger aren’t the same as the KIR hunger scale. That’s only a small thing since it is a number scale after all, but I feel like consistency across both would be fab. I’d also like to be able to write a note along with the hunger check-in so I can write my thoughts down around food as that is often recommended in the KIR program. Not sure how that would work with the current setup of only showing statistics, but I also feel like it would be good to be able to look back at a week/month at a time for example so you can see your progress. I also would love to be able to specify the time. That’s not a big one, but I’m a bit ocd and kinda want to track times for my hunger to see if there are trends.

Aside from these small suggestions I absolutely love the app and the variety of simple yet delicious recipes! I haven’t used the workouts personally but that’s not what I was really looking for in the app, hunger check in and recipes mostly was what I was after.

Thank you so much for the awesome review and thoughtful feedback. We love your suggestions and are currently in the process of exploring how to improve the hunger check-in to include more detailed and personalised insights. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us this review.

Recipes

I’ve only just Downloaded this app, so far loving it. A couple of issues, when browsing the recipes, if I click on a recipe to have a look at it, then I hit the back button, instead of taking me
Back to where I was on the recipe list, it takes you back to the home page. So I have to get back into recipes and find my place on looking through recipes. It’s a bit annoying.
Also notice some recipes say GF but aren’t? Like the Bahn mi roll?
Otherwise love everything about this app :)

Hey! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review and we really value your feedback. In relation to the recipe list issue - we have just released a new update 1.2.106 that should hopefully address the issue for you. We've also fixed up that GF issue - thanks for letting us know!

Great App

Loved this app, loved the recipes they are delicious, simple, filling and balanced. No long list of weird ingredients…all stuff I regularly stock in my pantry. I started following Lyndi for her realistic approach. I don’t have a paid subscription unfortunately I don’t think I’m quite ready to ditch the calorie counting 😟. One (minor) functionality thing with the app that can be annoying - after viewing the recipe it goes back to the meal plan rather than the list of recipes. But all in all everyone needs to give this a go.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We really appreciate you giving us a try. We appreciate your feedback about that functionality issue - we can't seem to replicate the experience you have described on our side but will get the team to take a closer look.

Supportive and positive!

I like this concept! Everything about this app makes so much sense and is presented in such a way it is very motivating and interesting. I am so glad I stumbled upon this, try it out if you’re curious, it’s quite wonderful!!

Excellent service

I’m so happy I found Back to Basics. I had questions when registering and they responded the very same day. They even responded promptly to my follow up emails. Very impressed with the level of service and I’m really enjoying Lyndi’s videos!!!

Great app for pregnancy

Easy to use and lots of helpful information on the app. Lovely recipes and videos!

What I’ve needed all along!

What a relief not to have yet another plan that makes you count calories and restrict certain food groups. This app provides a suite full of super quick, healthy, satisfying and seriously delicious recipes (and this is coming from someone who loves to cook and takes their food very seriously) - with carbs and fruit included! The support around combating emotional eating and checking your hunger scale is truly invaluable and life changing. I just couldn’t bear the thought of counting calories or restricting carbs anymore. Learning about my emotional eating habits and listening to my body is what I’ve been needing all along. Everything about this program is so refreshing. Love your work guys! From the bottom of my heart - thank you so much. ❤️

Kadestar, thank YOU so much for taking the time to leave such an awesome review. We are so thrilled to hear you are loving our approach and all the goodies within the app. A big thank you to you for your support!

Feel Better Already

An uplifting and motivating app. The recipes are quick, healthy and tasty and I can even pop the ingredients straight into my online shopping order for Tesco (I am in the uk). I really like the challenges section and the mindset videos. The guilt I have struggled with over food is diminishing so thank you to Lyndi, Les and the team for producing such a brilliant app. PS the podcasts are good too!
