Natalie's story

How counting calories changed Natalie's life:

Natalie Thomson (33) had got herself in a rut when it came to diet and exercise: with a demanding job at a busy airport, the last thing on her mind was healthy living.

I always felt tired, so by the time I got home I had no energy left to even think about what I was going to eat. I had slipped into some bad habits; I would just grab a bag of crisps and a snack from the cupboard and pour myself a glass of wine, with no attempt at healthy eating. I knew I was overweight for my height and I really wanted to lose a couple of stone so I signed up with Nutracheck: the idea of an App counting the calories for me was very appealing - and incredibly easy!

My life is busy but using Nutracheck takes up very little of my time

I am a real food lover, but I had no knowledge or understanding about calories and portion size. Nutracheck helped me understand these food basics and I found the App incredibly straightforward. Now, counting calories and understanding portion sizes makes total sense to me.

My life is busy but using Nutracheck takes up very little of my time. It takes me seconds to scan what I eat and the App keeps track of my calories throughout the day. It has made me re-evaluate what - and how much - I eat, and I make better food choices. There are no banned foods so I never feel I have to miss out.

I have linked my Fitbit with the Nutracheck App so all my exercise calories sync and update my Nutracheck food diary automatically. I have lost over 2 stone and I feel healthier and more confident; I have bags of energy and life is good.
