DoFasting Intermittent Fasting

I’m 3 weeks into my fasting program and I want to tell you how it’s going. I use dofasting app to help me. So the first three days of fasting were bad for me. I was thinking not eating for 16 hours will just kill me, I felt quite weak and all the time thought about food. I was about to quit and ask for a refund but decided I will give it a full week. I’m so glad I did that because it then got easier and easier day by day. It actually became the opposite of what I was feeling in the first days. Contrary to what your intuition would tell you, I generally started feeling less hungry during my eating windows. It’s not like I lost my appetite or something, I just wasn’t eating soo much like I normally would. I guess it has to do something with IF balancing out the sugar levels. Now I also feel more energetic especially during the first hours of the day. So I cut my coffee intake a bit which is a pleasant benefit I didn’t expect.

My main issues with the app were the lack of recipes and not being able to track my meals/calories for the day. The meal and snack suggestions barely varies from day to day, which would have had me eating the same thing over and over again. As for the calorie tracking, it would be awesome if you were able to click on the recipe or snack that you choose and it would load to a calorie tracker that would also allow you to add calories that are not from recipes on the app. This has so much potential, just a few changes would really make a big difference. I glanced at the exercises, which looked easy to follow for a beginner like me and a great way to get someone up and moving to start out. The information provided about intermittent fasting was good, especially for someone who is just starting to research and learn about it. That being said... I contacted the developer immediately to cancel and request a refund. They responded quickly and after a few emails they gave me a full refund, which was put in my account within 1 day. They were polite, helpful, and timely with their correspondence and correction.

What can I say. I’m a Texas man. I love a good steak and I love BBQ. My doctor doesn’t share the same love with me tho. I got tested for my cholesterol levels last year and they were not too good. This meant a strict diet, but I just couldn’t. I need juicy meat in my life. Well intermittent fasting apparently balances out cholesterol levels, so I thought I will see if it actually works.I started doing intermittent fasting like this: 5 days per week I eat according to their meal recommendations (sometimes eating a bit bigger portions, as I don’t want to lose much weight) and 2 days per week I enjoy whatever I want on my eating windows. But I always fast for 16 hours every day. So it worked. I got another cholesterol test and the levels of bad cholesterol have decreased more than I thought they will. Gotta keep on going now

I stupidly ordered the app because I was super excited about this program but then thought I should contact my doctor to see if it would be a healthy choice. About an hour later from purchasing, I wrote customer service to tell them I couldn’t do the program and they responded that they cannot refund me. Even though I hadn’t even used the app beyond putting some basic info in. I can send a doctors note proving that it was not recommended. Again, my fault but thought this company would be understanding and refund me since only ONE hour had passed since I purchased. Check with your doctor first to see if this will work for your requirements. This company is in it for your money and not for your health...very obvious. Update: They refund some customers and not others or give partial refunds. DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP. Too many bad reviews. Even if you purchase and try to cancel an hour later they won’t honor it. I don’t even open the app, read the emails or utilize it whatsoever. I will be writing on every site never to use this app.

I do like the concept but there are a few things that need to be added. 1.) I wish the meals were more diverse. Having some Chinese, Thai, Ethiopian, Nigerian, Japanese, Indian, Mexican, etc. recipes would, I feel, lessen ones likely to go out and eat unhealthy. 2.) I wish there was some sort of journal. A way to track calories if we use our own recipes. Since the app gives us a suggested daily caloric intake range it would be nice to be able to calculate if we are staying within it. It would also be nice to be able to track what we eat to see what works best for each individual each week. 3.) I wish the workout section was more customizable. So we could add any disabilities or injuries as needed so everyone can work out to their own personal abilities. Unfortunately without those additions it’s really a bit useless since an alarm on your phone will tell you when to start and stop eating for free. And for the price ($11/month) I really expected more. Also the price is a bit ridiculous. I paid essentially $11/month but I had to sign up for three months so I paid $33 to get into the app and find out it was disappointing. I don’t think it’s a bad or terrible app it’s just a useless one. An expensive useless one. If things were added to the app to make it more interactive it might be worth a $5-8 ($11is still too much) monthly membership but people should be allowed to pay monthly. Overall it’s “eh”. Don’t really recommend.
