Thanks for checking us out. We haven't come across these guys before. We played around with having buttons or going with NLP to make it more realistic. Perhaps we should have both, thanks for the feedback!

We're not actually a calorie counter at all. In fact, we kind of are against it. We provide weekly nutritional programs, let you order the groceries you need from the programs and then we check in with you daily to make sure you're sticking with it. Just like a dietitian or nutritionist would. People fall out of love with trackers and calorie counters very quickly so we wanted to create something that was to the point, provided value and didn't require you to log "225g of chicken breast" every time you had one :)

before you sign up and start talking with Lyle we do ask about your preferences where you can say whether you cheese, nuts etc. Tomatoes not at the moment unfortunately but we'll be getting smarter for sure.

Appreciate the feedback! Will definitely be reviewing our messaging as we evolve

thanks for the feedback. We thought making him human-like was a good thing. Can you share more about what you don't like about the interaction? Something I can discuss with the team. Thank you!

You'll get weekly nutritional programs based on your preferences yes.

Weight loss isn't rocket science you're right but counting calories and eating the same thing every day is exactly why we exist, people don't want to do that anymore. It's pretty boring and restrictive which is why the average American diets 3-5 times a year :)

in a nutshell lol

Yes absolutely. hopefully by the summer

Totally! We just felt that women have way more options than guys who just want to lose a couple of pounds.

That too!!

Thanks for the feedback! Updating now

We still figuring things out with the product before we open it out to all countries. We also offer grocery delivery to paid users who follow our nutritional programs so as we're a small team we wouldn't be able to manage that well at the moment.

Thanks for asking. When it comes to leading brands or apps within the weight loss space they are all heavily geared towards women. Think of the top 3 brands, weight watchers, Nutrisystem, Jenny Craig. With apps you got the same problem or you pretty much faced with just trackers. So, just from a branding play alone something needs to exist that men feel comfortable using while receiving guidance. I don't know any guys who would use weight watchers or sweat by Kayla. Guys want things straight with no fluff which is why we're not a tracker or a calorie counter. We tell guys what to eat and offer them the option of having the groceries they need delivered. Men need more options.

Hey, yeah we're only available in the US at the moment we'll be open to other countries later this year. Thanks for trying anyways!

Hey, thanks for trying it out! yeah, we asked a few questions that require you to rate things from 1-10 so in order for Lyle to differentiate we asked that you add "glasses" at the end of your answer. but we need to work on making that flow clearer. Thanks again for trying it out.
