I used it last year. Would only recommend if you need/are motivated by the structure. It doesn’t tell you anything you don’t inherently already know or couldn’t find with a simple google search.. aka, eat in moderation, understand your impulses and triggers, etc. i did lose ten lbs but dropped it pretty quickly.

Oh also if you look into it and give your email, they’ll flood you with “80% off”, so don’t pay full price if you do decide to do it. For me, that price was worth just trying it out.. was less than one workout class/month

It’s basically calorie counting, articles about food psych, and a “coach” whose job is to motivate you.

If you want a resource to learn from and need a little extra motivation to log your meals, it’s fine. Also the coach isn’t much of a resource, just a cheerleader.

If you just want a calorie/weight tracker and know your habits there are plenty of free options that would be just as good.

Salam. 23M here - all my life I’ve had my back on our faith - never really prayed but had imaan (I guess). After bouts of depression from girl problems (🙄), issues within immediate family, being disappointed expectations I had for myself, etc. I’ve been working on bettering my situation over the years. Faith is the only area where I think I need more guidance. Having trouble relating to friends or family about this. Anyone else been thru something similar? How have you connected back to Islam?

I’m sober curious. I’m also about to help a new non-alcoholic spirit company with their launch.
I have a question for people in recovery. If a brand were to contend that sobriety is a spectrum, or allow for that to a least be part of the conversation, how does that make you feel? Are other brands doing a good job of being inclusive of people who are truly sober?
(I get that NA drinks / spirits can be triggering for people in recovery)
Thank you.
