I really used to struggle with food and my weight. I was either 'trying to be good' or eating peanut butter straight from the jar! I'd promise to do better but I was all-or-nothing. Eventually, I decided to ditch diets for a totally new approach to food. I lost 20kg but that turned out to be just an added bonus because now my life isn't controlled by food. Now, I help others get healthy and this in turn became Back to Basics – an app developed together with experts across women’s health, fitness, pregnancy and mindfulness, sharing what worked for me backed by science and industry research. Join me and start feeling awesome with Back to Basics. CONTACT US We’d love to hear from you.

I love this app. All of it is bitesize and helpful. Highly recommend. What you see is what you get and there are no hidden surprises. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! So grateful! *2025-01-12, version 1.2.160* I’ve have tried almost every diet there is. And then I found this app, along with the beautiful online community Lyndi Cohen has created. And so comforting knowing it’s written by a qualified Australian dietician. Finally learning to ditch the diets, intuitively cook healthy meals and focus on health measurements beyond the scales. Early days but I am absolutely loving it. Range of simple to more complex recipes, helpful guidance and tips, excercise and a planner. I highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — So Useful! *2024-11-03, version 1.2.150* This app has the best recipes of any health app. The organisation of it is so helpful and straightfwd. After feeling overwhelmed with tracking and weighing this is a great way to reset and care for myself instead of beating myself up. Thank you Lyndi💚 ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2024-10-08, version 1.2.149* A fantastic app for shifting your mindset around food (definitely what I needed)with practical, achievable strategies for everyday life! The video content is engaging, and the recipes are simple, delicious, and easy to follow. I love that there are no strict diet rules—just a focus on becoming a healthier version of yourself, completely guilt-free! ### 5/5 — Delicious, easy, real food!!! *2024-09-14, version 1.2.149* I love the app and its recipes and features. After 30 odd years of diets food is starting to be a non issue for me ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2024-05-12, version 1.2.146* I love this app. So easy to use and lots of advise and recipes at your fingertips. ### 5/5 — Review *2024-05-03, version 1.2.146* Hi Lyndi and team, I only downloaded your app a month ago on the recommendation of my daughter who is a binge eater and is an avid user of Back to Basics. I am 70 years old and am currently fighting extra kilos again. I thought I was the only one who experienced all these issues. It is good to know that I am one of many. Thanks for all you do and your advice is helping me to deal with a lifetime of weight governing my life. I have read your book twice and am hoping that, even at my age, I can turn things around. ### 5/5 — Love this App *2024-04-13, version 1.2.146* Very easy app to use which gives you everything you need at your fingertips. Can use it on my phone but also my IPad. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app for busy families *2024-03-12, version 1.2.146* We are loving this app! It is just what we needed as a busy family wanting to eat real food that’s simple to cook and delicious to eat. The planning tool is invaluable, it’s quick to choose meals and then create a shopping list - so something that used to take me hours to do myself now takes a few minutes. Plus you can include healthy, simple home-made snacks. And very practically, we can choose the number of serves for each meal which means that we can cook enough to have leftovers for lunch. The shopping list is split into categories, making it super easy for us to shop between farmers markets and supermarket to save money. I absolutely recommend this app!! ### 5/5 — A breath of fresh air *2024-03-01, version 1.2.146* Both the back to Basics app and Lyndi's Podcast are refreshingly simple, no-nonsense and focus on health & wellbeing not restrictive meal plans & inch loss. It's making life so much easier and more pleasant as I heal a very bad attitude towards my body! ## Frequently asked questions about Back to Basics ### What is the Back to Basics app?
