Getting back on track with a healthier lifestyle is often easier said than done, which is why any helping hand that has actually worked for real people is worth looking at. And with plenty of positive testimonials, it would really seem like the Simple app has changed many a life – and now, you can save 60% off with the code SIMPLEDEAL.

Take Lisette Stephanie Rendón Barzola from South Africa, a biologist who lost 44lbs (20kg) through using the app. “I was motivated to use an intermittent fasting plan, because I became very overweight after having my first child, and I needed a way to lose weight,” she says – which spurred her to try the Simple app, which heavily draws upon intermittent fasting – the practice of eating in cycles, abstaining from food for certain periods of time during the day.

Lisette says she had tried intermittent fasting before, “But I wanted to do it in a more organised way”, she says – and she was particularly drawn to the app because it came in Spanish as well as English. At her heaviest, she says she was 170lbs (77kg), and adds: “I had never managed to get the scale to weigh less than 72k kilograms (160lbs) [before using the Simple app], now I weigh between 55 to 57 (120-125lbs) … So that means I had lost a total of 20kg (44lbs).”

So how does it work? The app – which you can get 60% off of with the code SIMPLEDEAL – gives you access to personalised workouts, nutrition analysis and an artificial intelligence-powered coach. Upon signing up, you fill out a survey with your personal details – including things like your health goals and past experiences with weight loss. The app will then build you personalised daily workout plans, as well as giving you nutritional information on what you’re eating and access to the AI coach to answer any questions you might have.

Now, Lisette says she still uses the app – but to help keep her weight under control, rather than to lose any more. She also says there are other health benefits to using the app – it reminds her to drink more water and it’s given her better concentration.

Lisette isn’t the only person who’s seen remarkable results from using the Simple app. Laci Gilbert from Louisiana lost an incredible 86lbs in 12 months after discovering the Simple app while scrolling through Facebook.

“I knew I needed to do something, I just didn’t know how I was going to do it,” she says. After embarking on her journey with the app, she says: “As of today, I have lost 86 pounds – I weigh 189 pounds, down from my highest weight of 275.” Laci says she particularly appreciates the photo comparison tool included in the app: “We don’t see the change, unless we see it in the photos I think.”

Then there’s Kim Steele, from Florida, who lost 45lbs in six months. “I wanted to adopt a healthier lifestyle and set a good example for my children,” she says – and then she found Simple. “Simple has really helped me be more mindful about my eating habits, it really got me thinking in terms of not only what I’m eating, but when I’m eating and why I’m eating,” she raves.

It’s worth noting that these are real Simple users who are featured and have been compensated for their honest testimonials. Results may vary. Simple has an impressive 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot, but some customers have shared a few gripes. “The only things that are a bit annoying is that every time I log food or speak to Avo it will pop up asking me to rate the app and leave a comment which has become a bit excessive,” said one user. Another added: “Trying to get used to all the logging. It’s tedious to type in all the food entries for every meal.”

If you did want to try something a bit different, you could look to Noom – a health and weight loss app that costs around £12.50. For a free option, the basic version of MyFitnessPal helps you track your food.

But for 60% off with the code SIMPLEDEAL, now is a great time to try the Simple app and its AI-powered coaching.
