The driver of my diet consistency

I’ve struggled with maintaining and manipulating my body composition for most of my life until I started using carbon.
The app is easy to use, and I just track everything I eat even if I go over my calorie budget, because I can trust I can try harder next week and the AI will take care of me.

Just get the app and stop overthinking it.

Response from developer

We absolutely love the way you described this. Progress gets a lot easier when one imperfect day stops feeling like a reason to throw the whole week away. Carbon is built to help you look at the bigger picture, stay consistent, and keep moving forward instead of chasing perfection. It’s great to hear that approach has changed how you manage your nutrition and body composition. Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for encouraging others to stop overthinking it!

Best Tracker

I’ve used this app since 2020 and I it has proven time and time again why it’s the superior tracking app. Improvements have been made, and the coach does a great job calculating macros for your goals as long as you are HONEST with your data.

Way better than anything else on the market.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for this review! Hearing this from someone who’s been with Carbon since 2020 means a lot to us. We work hard to keep improving the app while staying true to what matters most: giving people coaching they can trust. We also couldn’t agree more that consistency starts with honest tracking, and we’re grateful you’ve trusted Carbon through your journey over the years.

Amazing

As a trainer I use it for myself and my clients. This app is amazing and everything I need to keep my dieting/building phases healthy and flexible.

Major weight loss

Three years ago I heard about Carbon and I took a chance. Now I’m down around 190. Best decision I’ve ever made

Excellent

Easily the best macro coach/tracker I have used.

Forever with Carbon

Best calorie tracking App out there! I will use this app forever!

If your serious

Lose / again / Maintain. Do it all with Carbon

It’s a tracker

There are cheaper ones that are just as useful. I have not seen the value of spending $99 a year. I will get a different tracker when my year is up.

It is a good tracker though. Just not sure why it has to be $99 a year when there are cheaper ones having the same features

This is an amazing app

Really enjoyed using this application. Easy to use, but very complete and powerful at the same time.

Response from developer

Thank you for the 5-star review! We love hearing that Carbon is easy for you to use, but packs a powerful punch in supporting your goals!

Amazing Coaching App

This app is amazing for any diet. Keeps you balanced with lots of flexibility to great longevity in a fat loss phase!

Response from developer

Thank you so much for the great review! We love hearing that Carbon gives you the flexibility to make your diet work without losing the balance needed for long-term progress. That sustainable approach is such an important part of the process!

Committed to submit

Im a trainer and a nutrition coach myself…7 years ago I did a couple bodybuilding shows and afterwards I battled to get myself “back to base”. I had a decent amount of damage to my metabolism and hormones that took nearly 3 years to restore, and the mental game took a few more beyond that.

I say that to say setting up my own diet and sticking with it comes with a lot of uncertainty and fear of failure.

I knew I trusted Layne and his team to guide me towards the goal and felt ready to jump back in the game. So far (week 4) I have found MANY opportunities to challenge my ego from taking over and “knowing best”, but have fought those battles as they come and so far have continued to trust to process.

Thank you for all that you do for us. The peace of mind alone is worth every penny

Carbon

I love this app and tell anyone that mentions needing to lose weight that they need this in their life. Takes all the guess work out and after years of yo yo dieting I know enjoy all the food groups guilt free.

Worth it, it works

So I’m a blue collar dad at the age of 45. I don’t have a lot of time to spare in the day, and this has helped me stay on track. I went from my “static” weight of around 230 to my goal weight in about a year long period. For the first time in 20 years my weight started with a 1. The coach even adjusted me automatically and said it wasn’t safe to keep me in a calorie deficit any longer and switched me to a “reverse diet” to protect me. Who else would do that? This diet coach has been incredibly helpful to me in the time I’ve used it. It can be for you, too.

Loving it

I lost around 30lbs with carbon after having my son, quit using carbon and gained 40 lbs after having my daughter. I’ve now lost 25 lbs of that using carbon. The app works, don’t quit like I did 😅

Easy to use and accurate

This app is not only easy to
Use but also changes your macros accurately and even has a lot of great information.

Why Carbon Diet Coach?

It has helped me to feel more comfortable around the scale.

I use it as one of the measures of progress in my fitness goals.

Weight fluctuations I’m now comfortable with.

I’ve attained one goal of losing 10lbs and moving on to the next one.

Five stars +

Truly Game Changing

Dieting has always been about what I cannot eat, until Carbon. Carbon has taught me how to enjoy food AND see progress. It has been a journey of over a year and a half with lots of ups and downs, but the 40 pounds (and counting) lost proves that this method works. The coaches are absolutely amazing when you have questions. They are genuine and I’ve always felt like they heard my concern. I’ve never felt the “just do better” from the coaches. I could not recommend this app more to people looking to change their lifestyle and learn to love their amazing body.

Awesome App

Love this app. Keeps me on track and motivated during a reverse diet!

More than a food log

I appreciate the ease of use to log food, the simple layout, and the auto adjustments made week over week to help you meet your goal. It’s like having a coach for a fraction of the cost.

Game changer!

First read the book “Fat Loss Forever” . Buy a new digital scale from Amazon for $17. Buy quality/good tasting protein powder( there’s value options out there- dymatize. Buy the app for a month to try it. Put in your info. Follow the app and be honest. Then order it for the year(you’ll want to after 2 weeks). Trust the process and the app! Follow the coaches on social media, YouTube etc(the only reason I go to these sites). September 7th 220lbs. October 19th 213.5(bought the app in May but it took me 4 months to learn a lot)I workout 3-5 times a week using “Bigger, Leaner, Stronger” book that has a great workout plan. I’m 49 6’ 3” and work in the oilfield. If you want to feel better, look better and get stronger there isn’t a better recipe than what’s listed above. If you’ve read this far you’ve been on the up and down workout/ diet-plan with others before. This group of coaches and the app are going to give you endless help and knowledge to change your health and happiness, because you’ll be seeing results eating food you love and workouts you enjoy!
