IF

Just completed two weeks on IF (intermittent fasting) using Simple. Let me tell you it is not simple. But I am determined.

There is a morning check-in with the coach. Her name is AVO. She tries to analyze my previous day and offer advice on nutrition and exercise. She is often wrong.

This morning I argued with her because she told me I didn't make my hydration goal, but I did. Arguing with her is pointless:

AVO: Now, regarding hydration, you.ve almost hit your goal. You logged 3.2461462 OZ, just slightly under your goal of 3.3814023 OZ.

What made it challenging to reach your hydration goal yesterday?

Me: I made it this app is messed up I think these check-ins are inaccurate and not much help.

AVO: I'm sorry to hear that, Jeff. We aim to make these check-ins as helpful and accurate as possible.

Let's focus on how we can make your experience better. As was discussed, you've done great with your fasting, meals, and activity. As for hydration, you were just a smidge away from your goal.

Would you be open to trying to drink just one more glass of water today to help meet your hydration goal? This small step can ensure you stay properly hydrated, which is essential for overall health and well-being.

Me: As I said I did drink enough. Not sure where your numbers come from but not with I recorded.

At this point I dropped my phone and cracked my screen protector. Luckily I had another one to replace it.

AVO: I apologize for any confusion, Jeff. It's great to hear you are keeping up with your hydration. Your feed back it important and helps us improve.

Was my guidance helpful for you today?

OMG!!!

Here is my log page from Sunday:

Other than that the program is great.....LOL. Actually, when you log a meal it does a nice job of looking at it and recommending changes for the future. Cut back on junk food for example. Eat baked potatoes instead of French fries. Avoid beverages with added sugar. Things that I know, but are I am getting caught with my hand in the proverbial cookie jar or sometimes even the real one.

The advice is piling up on me. No sweets, no sodas, no junk food, no pizza, no dessert, no chips! I know, I know, I know....but you can eat whatever you want during the eating window...just not that stuff....LOL.
