Have you ever wondered: What's the easiest way to lose weight? Or better yet, what is the easiest way to lose weight without dieting — in other words, without constantly counting calories and worrying about following a set of restrictive rules? The tricky truth is that to lose weight, we have to eat less energy — aka fewer calories — than we burn.

Ever feel like achieving your health and weight loss goals is an uphill battle? How good would it feel to have some of the struggles smoothed out? The three Simple features below do exactly that. They're packed with powerful scientific insights and a whole heap of human compassion — a pretty rare combo (especially for tech apps), but one that really punches up your ability to reach your goals.

You're tired of diets. You're done with calorie trackers ruling your life. But you still want to do something to lose weight and/or make your body feel and function better. Intermittent fasting has some attractive benefits in just those areas.

One of the biggest selling points of intermittent fasting is that it's all about when you eat rather than what you eat. And it's totally flexible and customizable to your body, goals, and preferences. That's right: if you're a cake lover, rejoice.

Intermittent fasting is more than the latest weight loss trend — it's a path to better health and a more thoughtful relationship with food. While fasting is as old as humans, modern research suggests that intermittent fasting has many benefits, ranging from overall metabolic health to specific improvements in organs like the brain and heart.

Intermittent fasting is an approach to eating that involves a repeated routine of eating windows and fasting windows (periods of time when you don't eat). Rather than focusing on what you eat, it emphasizes when you eat.
