I love this App! I have been trying to eat mindfully for years and now I am doing it. I have a totally new healthy relationship with food. I enjoy it more yet I eat so much less of it. Have I lost weight mindfully eating? You bet I have!!
Once, I would just cook not thinking about the nutritional value of the meal. When I went to restaurants, I just thought about the flavor of the food and how good it was going to be. Now that I started this program, I noticed that I now pay attention to everything I eat. I even noticed I am always paying attention to the amount of food I am eating.
I have learned so much this week. My habits were running my life. Now that I am more mindful, I have the ability to see the thing that is causing the problem and the ability to make the changes.
Love the concept, hate the "bait and switch!" After 4 days of solid and helpful info, the ap won't allow me to access day 5 content without purchasing a subscription, yet irritatingly (yes, i checked in today w that emotion) still continues to ping my phone with check in reminders. Clearly the developers are masters at understanding the habit loop, they also appear experts in manipulating habits to sell their subscriptions... Dont bother downloading if you dont intent to pay after day 4.
If you miss one notification/action, the next one overrides it. The app doesn't allow you to complete the first action after receiving a notification for a second one. You miss the action. Multiple times per day there is a check-in about how you're feeling followed by a mindfulness exercise. There are choices for feelings. Although there are several, none of them typically apply. There is a choice for "other," but it doesn't have an option to type in a unique response for what "other" is.
Some of the content could be useful but it is an extemely rigid program. They've broken the program into predetermined chunks and you are forced to progress at their determined pace. No learn at your own pace here. If you try to move to a different topic without completing one you've started, it resets the one you started, so if you change your mind and want to go back to the previous topic, you are forced to repeat everything at a snails pace. I won't be renewing.
This was my first day using your app. After going through the first lesson and reading all the notes and directions, I was excited about your approach. Unfortunately, when I came to the page with the Journal button, the button wasn't "hot." I couldn't proceed without clicking on the part about upgrading my subscription. Then, I looked for technical support on the app and on the website but couldn't find it on either. I've uninstalled the app until I can get some help from you. Thx.
This app is beautifully designed and easy to use. The training program is well structured into manageable daily lessons and there are lots of ways to customize it: work at your item pace, return to lessons you need to review, etc. There are also meditations and exercises always available to help you meet different needs (like telling whether you are truly hungry or riding out cravings). It is a very thoughtful app and program and I recommend highly.
I just tried to use this app and found that the fonts are so tiny and the color scheme so low contrast that I could not read anything but the labels at the top of the page. I am visually impaired but can assess that the readability of this app's font is very poor. It would not be accessible to older readers. I searched for in app font controls but did not find any.
The approach here is really making a difference to me. First gear is understanding my own habit loops, second gear is noticing all the uncomfortable effects of overeating. The app directs my attention to this over and over so I can develop the habit of noticing. In the past I've tried to skip second gear and go right into third gear of various food-limiting protocols, which I found hard to stick with. Shifting gears uses natural learning mechanisms to drive change.
This is a good app, but the user interface is really bad. The user interface is clunky and a battery hog. The design is not responsive and cannot adapt to the given resolution and device orientation. The goal of good interface design is to allow effective operation and control of the device from the human end. With that said, this interface is sadly lacking.
The mindfulness taught in this app is great. I can't say it led me to loose a bunch of weight, but having a deeper understanding of what was happening helped for sure. More importantly, the mindfulness practice helped me cope with all the unknowns at the start of the pandemic. My 6 year old also loves listening to the body scan at bedtime with me to fall asleep. He requests it regularly. Very well done app. Dr. Brewer has a very calming presence, making the overall learning experience enjoyable.
This app is brilliant! I've struggled with poor eating behaviours for over 40 years and I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thankyou. ❤️
I am so happy I am doing this. Looking at oneself in the proverbial mirror is hard but I appreciate starting to recognize the what, why and how often I see things that I have struggled with for so long come to light. Thank you for making this totally doable. I look forward to continuing this journey and where and how I end up at the end! thank you, thank you, thank you - that is both to you for creating this program and to me for doing it!
This is the mindfulness app I've been waiting for! Mindfulness is wonderful, but other meditation apps don't help us put it to work. This one does! Finally I'm learning how to really apply my meditation practice to living a healthier, more joyful life. I went from exercising never to exercising daily. I no longer crave junk food, I'm repelled by it now that I can see what it is and how it serves me. That's after just one month! I'm excited to see where this journey takes me next!
fantastic insights into over eating and sugar addiction.
A truly life changing app. This was the magic missing piece for me: a tool literally in my pocket to pull out and use any time an unhealthy habit starts to rear it's ugly head. It helped me to truly break out of my emotional eating habits that have kept me trapped in endless vicious cycles for years. I am telling everyone I know about this app. The full membership is so worth it. I would pay three times that on a single therapy visit. And this changed my life!
Somewhat helpful but repetitive. You start with "core modules" to learn program basics. Then switch to "theme" weeks expanding on the core module. They were ok but nothing great except for the nutritional modules that are new material. Then about month 6, you MUST do "custom" weeks based on the core modules AGAIN. But unlike the theme weeks, there is NO new material, just excerpts from the core modules. WHAT A RIP OFF. I'm paying $25/month for THE EXACT SAME LESSONS! I am canceling now.
Highly recommend. This is not just an app, it is a whole psychology program designed to help you change habits. Many diets claim that they will permanently change your approach to good but this program actually gives you tools, not just information and homilies.
The app is helping me to better understand my food cravings & habit loops that lead to over-eating. I am a newbie & hopeful that this mindful eating program gives me greater control as I navigate my world of eating food. So far, so good. Hoping to lose weight without dieting. Time will tell..
Finally an approach that makes sense for anyone who struggles with food issues. This approach gets to the core of the issue in a loving, self compassionate way. The skills and techniques are easy to learn and convenient to use. Based on the concept of mindfulness, the app provides a check-in option that can be used as often as desired and provides quick mindfulness exercises that provide focus and can be used anywhere. This approach is revolutionary.
Wow, there's a plethora of incredible exercises and strategies to help you understand your own relationship to food and eating, based on the latest science. No recipes or injunctions about diet, but how to take control of your own behaviour through awareness. I've only just started but I have high hopes.
So much information is presented in short easily understandable language. Info is reinforced by exercises that improved the quality of my life. Highly recommend for folks who are serious about changing eating patterns. This app helps in the long term and taught me how changing habits is not a short term fix.
A weight loss app that doesn't fo us on calories but on the reason one is seeking out the calories in the first place. This app has helped me to build awareness around my eating habits and different ways to deal with life than eating that pizza. the approach is very gradual and deliberate and online community is always there to for any questions you might have.
This app has been helping me so much. I wish it could be free but I also see that it is a very comprehensive program with a lot of talent and time put into it and I value that. This is helping me during the COVID-19 pandemic to regulate my stress related eating and other habits.
Great app. It goes to the core of the problem. The right exercise leads you to realise how much we are disconected from our bodies. Mindful eating can become our new habit, but we have to train our mind.
The calmest I have ever felt about attempting to eat healthier long term. I got through Halloween without eating a single chocolate bar--unbelievable! I recommend this program to anyone interested in changing bad habits. It just makes sense.
I Waa recommended this program from my Dr. I downloaded the app and paid the annual subscription and have still not been able to access the app. It keeps asking me to pay the subscription even though I have already paid and checked that it has indeed been charged to my credit card. I did receive an email from Maria after subscripting and have replied asking for help twice with no response. Want a refund after 5 weeks with no help from Eat Right Now. Customer service is terrible.
