Taking control of your health can often feel like a monumental task, especially after trying various weight loss diets and trends to no avail. However, a 53-year-old nurse from Ohio discovered her secret weapon for staying healthy: an innovative app that offers personalised daily routines and nutrition guidance powered by artificial intelligence.
Chrissy Clark faced a pivotal moment with the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and severe obesity. She said: “Back in January I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and I was severely obese.
“For my height, I was really overweight. I clocked in at 223 [lbs] at my highest that I got on the scale and it really sent me for a loop when I got the diabetes diagnosis.”
Determined to take action, Chrissy found the Simple coaching app which is designed to assist adults in leading healthier lifestyles. Reflecting on past failed attempts, Chrissy said that “nothing worked” until she started using the app, which has helped her lose 36lbs in six months.
“I am happier, I am healthier, I have more energy,” she said.
Her transformation journey commenced under her doctor’s guidance, advocating for a steady weight reduction and not exceeding a 2lbs loss per week. When signing up as a new user, the Simple app requires you to complete a survey detailing your health goals, preferences and previous weight loss experiences.
It then crafts a customised exercise regimen and provides comprehensive nutritional information about your diet alongside an AI-based coach ready to field any query you might throw its way. Without the app, Chrissy admits she ‘would be lost’.
If you’re keen to give it a go, Simple is currently running a promotion offering a 60% discount with the code SIMPLEDEAL. If you’re interested in trying it out, just click here to sign up and embark on the 28-day challenge.
It’s always wise to have a chat with your doctor before making any significant health changes, especially something like fasting, which is central to the Simple App. But Chrissy isn’t the only one singing the app’s praises.
Affiliate lead Tom Capon gave it a thumbs up, writing: “Simple’s range of features are very reminiscent to what you’d get with a personal trainer: someone to hold you accountable, provide you with meal plans and recipes, and to give advice and encouragement.”
Elsewhere, Virginia-based Kelly Hartmann shed 15lbs within four months of using the app, saying: “Simple helped keep me on track with my weight loss journey by tracking what I was eating, what I was drinking and how often I was moving my body. What I liked most about Simple is you do not have to be tech-savvy to use it.”
However, some users have taken to Trustpilot – where the Simple App has scored 4.1 stars out of 5 – to share their thoughts.
“I think that the app is too expensive for the lack of breakdown in your diet entries. But it keeps me on schedule,” one customer wrote.
Another user said: “It needs more choices when logging beverages, for example, I drink my coffee with honey and half and half milk.”
There is a host of other health and weight loss apps available, including Noom, which comes with a monthly fee of approximately £12.50. MyFitnessPal is another option that assists in tracking your food and calorie consumption, offering a free service tier, but additional benefits can be unlocked with payment.
