This app is amazing!!!
Hi, I came to this app because I didn’t feel good about myself. My mom brought it up in a dinner conversation and I decided to try it I got a coach it was amazing I haven’t met my coach yet but I’m really really excited to meet him. I’ve been using the app for A week now and it’s already improving so much! So you get the app you have a choice to pay for a coach or to not pay for a coach. Do you wanna know about how you track your food, well then keep reading! A green light food is like vegetables and fruits yellow foods are like pasta wheat anything with wheat in it. And red light foods are foods with sugar and stuff like that. For example a red light food could be a Coke a cookie and what I learned bacon is a red, because it has a lot of fat in it so anyway this app helped a lot and I hope it can help you to download this app for free and then only pay a little bit of money for a coach I swear it is worth every penny.

Ignore the HAES
This app is a step in the right direction. It’s more important than ever to give kids a healthy and nutritious foundation. Thank you for this in-depth and well made app! We need this more than ever. Many of the people leaving one star reviews don’t even have kids to begin with. Just think: we can teach our kids healthy habits so they won’t have to diet as adults. Letting your child balloon in size and eat unhealthy without constraint is child cruelty. Most 3 year olds don’t know the difference between health and unhealthy. They just know that skittles taste good and look cool. Please, give this app a chance and respect your children and others. Just because you don’t want to eat healthy doesn’t mean you should force that on others. I had an eating disorder when I became a teenager and can say, with full confidence, this app would’ve saved me. There’s no calories, just a clean focus on nutrition and overall health. 10/10 would recommend.

I don’t understand
this app is an amazing app. It doesn’t encourage “eating disorders” or “fat phobia”. It more encourages being more cautious about what you eat, and trying not to eat unhealthy foods so often. The app isn’t going to criticize someone for not being skinny as a stick. That’s what I don’t understand. People provide no explanation to how this app promotes that type of eating. Eating disorder is a real issue, but this app doesn’t promote it. People don’t know what they’re talking about, because this is truly an amazing app. I mentioned my weight to my coach, as I was proud of myself for losing 4 pounds, and she said that healthy lifestyle matters more than the weight on the scale. After all, it really is just a number. Nothing more. I can’t seem to figure out why people are saying that young children, as young as 4, are developing anorexia nervosa. That is completely untrue. People may already have eating disorders, for example anorexia, when they start this app. Maybe that’s why it gets worse? My advice is that, if you have a problem with healthy eating, don’t download the app. If you think you will develop an eating disorder from being encouraged to eat a bit healthier and stay away from unhealthy foods, don’t download it. That’s all I have to say. Overall a great app, but the community who writes the reviews? Some of them, not so great. xoxo, Staralina
