DayTwo: Personalized Nutrition Reviews

I made a promise to myself that I would go along with whatever foods they suggested but was pleasantly surprised to find that they suggested many foods I enjoy. I’m someone who once lost 100lbs in a year, only to slowly gain it back so I’m no stranger to overhauling my eating lifestyle.

Once I started a diet that is more gut health focused I found myself with more energy than I expected. Overall I feel great whenever I eat less carbs and more protein with healthy fats. It’s been very simple to combine good foods that previously weren’t part of my diet (tempeh, kimchi, coconut oil) with sauces, spices and other foods I I love without ruining my Day Two score. I never have post meal energy crashes and when people ask me how I’m feeling, I’ll never say ‘tired’ again.

Now I only crave foods based on feel rather than taste, a total game changer. Definitely the best investment I’ve made in my health. Highly recommended!

You have to “play” with DayTwo a bit - but very quickly you can figure out what foods maintain your sugar/energy levels. If I choose wisely, I don’t end up in a food como - somedays, however I roll the dice and pay the price. The good news is, I know why I’m exhausted and don’t have any energy.

As to the people who are irritated by the fact DayTwo doesn’t give you the “why” - it’s a complicated algorithm based on your gut microbiome, you’ll have to trust the math. Do some testing on your end - eat the foods they recommend avoiding and see how you feel.

It’s suddenly become hard to find foods. Particularly an individual food like a fresh fruit, a bread roll, common coffee drinks, etc. Scores don’t show until you’re two minutes and three or four steps into finding a food. Potion sizes can’t be modified and come in hard to define sizes like ounces. What is an ounce of cooked beans? I have no idea. Having a report about test results is a nice new feature (I will take it to my next naturopath appointment!), but given the uselessness of DayTwo , you’re left having paid hundreds of dollars for a system that doesn’t effectively or easily guide your food choices.

This might be a great technology in 3 or 5 years, but it’s certainly not worth a $500 USD investment right now, in 2019.

This new version is a fantastic improvement over the old one. It now has lots of fast food restaurants in their menu items listed. Also lots of namebrand products. It is actually useful now! Diabetes is pretty much under control, but DayTwo will let me expand my menu choices greatly.

For me, and maybe for you, this eating system is like finally finding the light switch after fumbling in the dark for 40 years. Tallying up every item in a meal, every meal, every day means no more delusional thinking that “this little cookie won’t matter.” For me, weight loss results came reliably and steadily. HbA1C is improved.

This is the only app focused on blood sugar personalized to my body’s sensitivity to specific food. I’ve done all the blood sugar testing myself on various foods in the microbiome testing from day two is pretty close to what my tests showed. No other app can do that.

DayTwo is difficult to use and suffers from annoying bugs such as prompting a message about the kit being delivered EVEVRY time you open DayTwo .
Also, I was expecting to have a way to add comments to the food diary but no such (basic) ability is to be found. Overall I think DayTwo is not working well enough to be used on a daily basis for the long run.

I really liked the idea behind this company, but I have to say DayTwo is not delivering in all of the promises. There’s no way (at least not that I found) to really understand what are the better foods for you as a person. You instead of getting a list of items to consider you have to do it by trial and error. Enter a meal and we’ll tell you whether it’s good for you or not. Good luck using DayTwo

No way to get any kind of comprehensive report with food ranking. You have to click on arbitrary categories to see a bunch of random foods or search ad hoc. Really the laziest and most useless form of presentation. Support is nonexistent. Simply kicks you to a worthless FAQ. Looks like
this service has abandoned further development even though it’s still accepting people’s money. What a waste of money!

Do not buy this test/app. They give you no personal information whatsoever besides a number. No information on why a food is good/bad for you. Their expectation is that you trust the numbers they give you without the "why".

They took away the microbiom tab, so you get no information on the strains of bacteria. And their "orientation call" is only to show you how to use DayTwo ...

Could feel the difference right away and was able to use app in my life with no trouble

Today, having a barcode scanner is bare minimum. My guess is that you don’t have it because your food inventory database isn’t very extensive. I will continue to use MFP until you figure out how to do it or tie into their database. This is the number one issue I have with your app.

The food items are hard to find....plain items such as coffee with milk take for ever to find. Too many Mc Donald items. Average person concerned with health and/or sugar spikes will not be eating at McDonald. Dificulte to transfer your meal to the daily diary function....A bit frustrating

I tried today to keep tabs of my meals, but by dinner, it was impossible to separate out what I had for breakfast and lunch from what I was trying to list for dinner. There is no ‘start a new meal’ function that I could figure out. Great idea, badly implemented.

DayTwo is difficult to use and the library of foods is horrendous. Trying to find and log what you actually ate, and not just something similar, is nearly impossible.

A life changing app -- I feel like a new person

Now the search just spins and spins
I dont understand why developers are allowed to change the apps constantly? most often for the worse

It’s really helping me manage my glucose levels!

My Hba1c has actually gone down! Unbelievable....

losing weight nicely. blood sugar level going down. app is user friendly. I think day two are on to something new and exciting in the fields of sugar metabolism control, weight loss, nutrition management and health.
