This app changed my life

My goal for so long has been to eat when I’m hungry and stop when I’m full. The updates this app has made with clear visuals of letting me see that data shows how far I’ve come and I love it so much!! Can’t wait to continue using it to be more in tune with my body and feel more confident. Cannot thank the developers enough.

Helping me eat in a deficit.

I struggle with emotional troubles like eating to deal with my feelings. This app has helped me with that since I downloaded it a few days ago. I’m actually eating in a deficit now.

Just what I was looking for

I have downloaded multiple apps to track my eating habits, I’m surprised I didn’t find this one earlier. So far this is the best one I’ve found. No calorie counting, just awareness.
