South Beach Diet Tracker

I am down 21 lbs in 4 weeks. Lots to go. This plan and integrated app fit me and how I live. The simplicity is excellent. I tried off and on with SparkPeople for years with no long term success due to the detail required for accurate food logging. This app is way easier to use daily. Just eat one of the meals or add-ins and tap 2 buttons to log it. Easy peasy... Keep in mind that this is NOT a dietary/exercise tracking app like SparkPeople, etc. This app is designed and works best as a supplemental tool to track SBD food that you eat, water that you drink, and exercise that you complete in short intervals over the course of a day. It works very well tracking a very strict regimen to the South Beach Diet. Not very useful otherwise and that is great.

Nice idea of an app to help keep on track while on South Beach diet. However without the following two pieces of functionality, it is lacking. 1- it only totals calories, not carbs. Absurd for a diet that stresses lower and healthier carbs. We should see more nutrition info and a breakdown of good vs bad carbs and fats in the total for the day since this is the WHOLE basis of the diet. 2. There should be notifications to help keep you on the desired plan. I’m buying all the products and have read the book and the pdf handbook and I’m still confused. If my snack is good carbs (their snack item) instead of lean protein, how does that affect the rest of the day? What should I change? There is no snack listed as good carbs in phase 2 on the planner. If this app was better, with more features, I’d recommend this diet to many others, the principals are great. But the application is confusing and not well detailed in this app . I know they’d be frustrated.

I wanted to go 5 stars, because the menu is great and so is the food. Seasoned nicely, I wanted/needed this to work so badly, I have spinal stenosis with 3 nerve impingements from an accident and I'm not able to exercise. Weight loss is the only thing I can do to alleviate my pain naturally. I have 10-15 lbs I need to loose, the heavier I am the pain increases, so I was so excited to get started....but I can't seem to get the right food in the right stage. My first box was ruined phase 1, except the frozen food. I called, they were apologetic and kind, but sent me the wrong replacement, I called again and a nice competent person corrected the problem. So while they have great food, better than a few other programs I've been on, the phases haven't been able to work as indicated Because while I waited to get my phase 1, I ate phase 2 food, so I'm confident if I had been able to eat the food as it was meant to be eaten, I would have lost weight. I think once the packaging is corrected. I'll save my money and try again when I can. It is designed to work in phases and I haven't been able to do that. Good food and nice people but I wasted 4 weeks of my diet time trying to get things replaced. So I'm not sure where I would be with my weight loss goal if I would have had the right tools to begin with.

What is already on the app is great. However, you need to include in the journal options to add the vegetables, extras, alcohol and free foods. Also, you should be able to search for a question or food from any screen. Currently the only search feature is included in the journal. I do not want to have to read through everything on the Palm just find the answer to a question that I could search and be directed to quickly. And one last thing, you should be able to tap on the last glass of water and highlight all of them in one motion rather than tapping all eight of them every single day. So annoying...the same thing applies to the exercise.

The app is terrible. The customer service is terrible. It’d be better if you tried another food prepping company. I am extremely upset by their cancellation policy. I canceled on Sunday and I have a confirmation number, and yet I received an email saying my order has shipped. I called into their customer service and they said that I should have called on top of canceling online, but no where in the email did it say I needed to do that, I have attached a screenshot of said email. It said it was canceled. So I expected it to be canceled. Now I am out money that I didn’t have to pay for the food that I didn’t want! They need to fix the cancellation policy or at least let their customers know that canceling online isn’t good enough and they should call in as well. I will not recommend anyone to use this service, I’d much rather point them in the direction of any other company that won’t screw them over and then blame the customer for a company screw up.
