Simple is a mobile application that helps you log fasting and eating window hours. It is available on the App Store and Google Play.
Intermittent fasting is a popular method for weight loss and weight management. It is a routine of eating that alternates between fasting and eating times.
The diet focuses on when you eat your meals rather than the specific items you should eat.
Daily 16-hour or 24-hour fasts twice a week are two common intermittent fasting strategies.
Intermittent fasting is known to reduce inflammation, oxidative stress, insulin resistance and blood sugar levels.
Simple features include a meal tracker, a water intake tracker and a nutrition tracker.
When notifications are enabled, the application reminds you to drink water, add the foods you eat and will remind you to eat or fast — depending on the fasting hours that you choose.
In the liquid intake tracker, the app allows you to select the time, type of drink (water, coffee, tea, soft drink, juice, milk, shake, smoothie, broth and more), customization (for example, if the water was carbonated, regular or fruit-infused), size in milliliters and number of servings.
Simple also has an activity tracker where you can select exercise that you have completed, such as workouts, walking, cycling, swimming and more.
It will also ask more questions after you select your activity. For example, if you selected walking, the app will ask whether it was indoor, general outdoor, hiking or dog walking, and will also request kilometers, time and fatigue levels after the activity.
Simple has helped me lose weight because it gives me more control over what and when I eat, and I feel good overall following a 16/8 hour fast every day.
