It’s late January — are you still on your restrictive weight-loss, muscle-gain program? No? We aren’t surprised, as most people give up on resolutions by this time, so you aren’t alone. Part of it comes down to the very nature of resolutions and human resolve, but another part is the way we make resolutions — they’re extreme, hardcore, and more 75 hard than 75 soft. That’s why we’re looking at the Simple app, which uses an intelligent (and simple!) system to turn your hardcore goals into something you can actually manage. Right now you can get 60% off of the app’s services, too (though you can start for free). To get started, tap the button below and take Simple’s engaging quiz that lets the app learn about you, your goals, and your current condition. Or, keep reading to see what we found as we dug below the surface and learned more about Simple.

Why you should try Simple for weight loss and health

Simple’s philosophy becomes apparent from the moment you take the quiz we mentioned above. First of all, they aren’t about taking away foods you like, that’s very apparent. So, if you’re afraid of starting a weight loss or health journey because you don’t want to give up the occasional fried food, that’s perfectly alright. Also, notice how we say “weight loss or health journey” — as I filled out the app’s questionnaire, the app noticed I was already a healthy weight, but there were still muscle-gain goals available. And, even if you are trying to lose weight, it can literally be just to trim up and lose 10 pounds or so. Finally, the app uses very colloquial terms. For example, in “belly types” they use terms like gluten belly, meaning you don’t have to be a health terms expert to get quick info.

Once your goals are set, the app will keep helping you. You can take pictures of menus at restaurants and it will analyze what it sees, giving you on-the-fly recommendations. Simple looks at your foods on a wholistic basis, analyzing what you eat moreso than how much. This gives you insight into your food habits without being a stressful hassle, decreasing internal friction and dread when it comes to using it. For example, you won’t need a food scale or anything to get data about yourself, just honesty about what you’re eating. There are even daily check-ins with your smart assistant, too, to get an evolving picture of your health.

Take Jo Anne Meekins testimony, for example. Simple helped her tackle he emotional eating, and she lost 13 pounds in five months. “I’m grateful for the app,” Jo Anne says, “because it did help me achieve my primary goal of being in control.”

To get started with the Simple app, start via the quiz below. Tell the app what your current status is, an honest assessment of your goals, and you’ll start to get a customized plan. A free version comes with smart coaching, nutrition scores for your meals, and wellness habit trackers. If you want more, though, you can get 60% off at this time.
