Getting back into a healthier lifestyle can be easier said than done, which is why any tips that have worked for real people are worth considering. The Simple app has received plenty of positive testimonials and seems to have changed many lives. Now, you can save 60% off with the code SIMPLEDEAL.

Biologist and mum-of-two Lisette Stephanie Rendón Barzola lost 44lbs (20kg) 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 explains. This led her to try the Simple app, which advocates a mixture of healthy eating, workouts and, for those who want to, intermittent fasting - the practice of eating in cycles, abstaining from food for certain periods during the day.

At her heaviest, Lisette weighed 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)," reports Stoke on Trent Live.

Available at a 60% discount for Black Friday season using the promo code SIMPLEDEAL, the app offers personalised fitness routines, nutritional advice, and even an AI coach to guide you through your health journey. As soon as you sign up, you're prompted to answer a survey detailing your health goals and previous diet experiences. Based on your responses, the app curates a unique daily exercise regimen and provides nutritional guidance for your meals.

Plus, it grants access to an AI coach for any queries you may have. Now, Lisette explains that she maintains her weight with the app rather than focusing on shedding more pounds. She's discovered additional perks too – better hydration reminders and improved focus are just a couple of them.

And it’s not just Lisette who’s reaping the benefits - Laci Gilbert managed to drop 86lbs in a year after stumbling upon Simple while browsing Facebook. She said: "I knew I needed to do something, I just didn't know how I was going to do it," she admits. "As of today, I have lost 86 pounds - I weigh 189 pounds, down from my highest weight of 275." Laci is particularly fond of the app's photo comparison feature: "We don't see the change, unless we see it in the photos I think."

Another happy customer is Kim Steele who shed an 45lbs in six months. "I wanted to adopt a healthier lifestyle and set a good example for my children," she says. After discovering Simple, her approach to eating transformed. "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," Kim enthuses.

Although Simple boasts a solid 4.2-star rating on Trustpilot, there have been minor complaints. "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," one user expressed frustration. A different user pointed out: "Trying to get used to all the logging. It's tedious to type in all the food entries for every meal."

For anyone seeking alternatives, you could try Noom, another health and weight loss app that's priced at about £12.50. If you prefer no cost, MyFitnessPal's basic version helps track your food intake.
