Hello,
I was thinking of signing up but wondered whether you publish calorie counts for these recipies in the app?

Hello Phillip,

We’ve removed the need to count complex carbohydrates or fruit servings and the carb-free meal rule, because the most up-to-date research shows that people are better able to maintain dietary change when it isn’t rigid (but rather, flexible) and that ‘counting’ part of your diet (calories, carbs, or fruit) is more likely to lead to negative relationships with food.

At Second Nature, we believe that simply ‘telling’ people what to eat isn’t supportive of long-term change. Otherwise, any ‘diet’ would work. We want to empower members with the skills and knowledge to make choices for themselves and their lifestyles.

While we understand that you might want or need more support with portions and guidelines to start with, we know that in the long run, understanding nutrition and learning to trust your own judgement rather than following rules will be more likely to lead to long-term change.

Please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any questions 🙂
