App Issues
I like the diet and app, but two things.
First, the app has been opening to yesterday rather than today, and it has been doing that since I restarted the diet. (I don’t know if this makes a difference, but I traveled across two time zones when starting this time). Second, the Phase 3 breakfast meal “B and B Toast” wrongly populates as having a protein (it doesn't) and leaves the fruit section empty despite the recipe including berries
Other than these glitches, the app is always helpful to doing the dietThis app is useless except for planning
My husband and I are doing this diet. We read the book. We downloaded the app to facilitate things. We’ve been very frustrated with it. Really, all it’s good for is meal planning, and that is absolutely it, and even if that’s all you’re using it for you’ll be frustrated.
Pros: water tracker, planning times/foods for meals.
Cons:
1) You’re not really “tracking” your food if you can’t enter everything that you eat, even if it’s something that’s not supposed to be there. There should be some way of entering foods that are either off-limits or out of phase. (Side note: I’m pretty sure you can email your data to the company so they can analyze what you’re eating…what good is that when you cannot truly track things?)
2) In that same vein, it doesn’t let you track your portions. That’s fine if you’re someone trying to lose 20 pounds or less (1 portion), but as she says in the book, if you’re trying to lose more than that, you will need to increase your portion sizes. Well…you can’t track portion sizes here.
I have many more gripes with it but those are the biggest.
I do think this is a good way of eating so far, so I give the diet a hesitant thumbs up (only in week one) but this app needs some work.This really works if you follow it to the letter
A friend of mine had lost weight quickly and told me about this app. I don’t know how it works, but it does. I was approaching 200 pounds, the first 4 days I lost 3 pounds. I kept with it, ended up losing 30 pounds. Note I did also increase my exercise, but not at a crazy amount to where I would’ve lost that much weight without following this program.
