Zero: Fasting & Health Tracker 17+

Works. 30lbs in 2.5 months

I tried keto, I tried them all. Ended up binging and gaining more back quickly. Found fasting and really knocked out the cravings. With Zero it’s really easy to follow your progress without feeling like you’re staring at a clock waiting to eat again. The articles help ease your mind in the beginning knowing that your hunger pangs and other side effects are common and have reasons. Also how to avoid them and get past the fasting wall. I love the timer and how you can count up or down. I count up because I like seeing how far I can push myself within reason. Counting down makes me want to eat as soon as it hits 0:00. The app has some great tracking features and syncs up with apple health so it takes down the data from my smart scale. Nice knowing that I don’t have to manually enter everything every time. A welcomed improvement would be a way to change the theme of the app to keep it fresh or personalized. Different colors etc. this is a small ask for me. Overall I love the app and have lost 30lbs, 6%body fat in 2.5 months. Tbh I haven’t exercised much at all. Just having my body do what it does and use the energy I’ve stored away for years. But now losing the weight of nearly two full size dyson vacuums, I have more energy both mentally and physically that I now crave to get out and do more

Updated: Room for Improvement

21 Nov Update: The developers reached out to me from my initial review and were super helpful and were able to walk me through how to better navigate the app. My lack of understanding how to fully use all the features is why I struggled to change fast settings without saving it as a preset. Due to their amazing response, explanations and helping me fix my complaints deserves 5 stars. It’s definitely worth the subscription and has earned 5 stars in my book.👌🏾 I can recommend this app 100% ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s ok, I love the majority of the features. & unfortunately I forgot to cancel after my free trial. But it’s not worth $70/year. I don’t understand why there isn’t an option to shift or plug in a fast without having to make it a preset. Life happens and I sometimes do an odd hour fast just to get back on track. But that doesn’t mean I want it to be saved as a preset. You should have the option to just put in a fast without being forced to save it as a template. They’re typically one off fasts. The lack of flexibility there is annoying. It’s also odd that it’s not an option under the premium section. If I’m paying to track my fasts it should be a bit more flexible for the price we’re paying. I’ll look for another app that has this simple feature. It’s great aside from that.

Hi there – Thanks for takiing the time to provide this feedback.

Good news! There's no need to make it a preset. If you'd like to fast longer than your goal, go ahead and when you've reached your desired duration, tap the end button on the timer. If you'd like to set a shorter goal (1) tap the small number in the circle just above the timer and to the right (2) tap 'Custom Fast' (instead of tapping a space under 'Your Presets') (3) choose the duration (4) tap 'Load Fast' (if not in a fast already) or 'Change Fast'(instead of 'Save As Preset') if no fast is running on the timer.

If you'd like help with these items or anything else in the app please email us at support@zerolongevity.com with the details and include reference #68995 and our support team will assist you directly.

Literally life changing!

This app has been literally life changing! I accidentally stumbled upon it, just wanted something SIMPLE to log my fasting hours when I first started learning about intermittent fasting but it has sparked my interest in all things related to fasting and health. Im not able to afford paid version and Im extremely grateful that the free version has enough basic information and tracking features to inspire change and at least plant that seed to help people want to learn more, and to want to live with more insight, regardless of economic situation. I was that moron.. the one watching with suspicion while wolfing down pizzas, thought people fasting were just weird food hating extremists. This app has been a revelation, and has been instrumental in opening the door to a new world to me so to speak. It has been invaluable in changing my attitude towards food, fasting, meditation. If you have the means to buy the paid version do it, it will be a small investment for what you get. For me sadly the the price point for the paid version for this and the podcast is not doable but the free version can be very eye opening. Dont just log fasts like I did at first. Dive in and discover everything on the app thats available for free and listen to the podcasts. Fasting and tracking my glucose is now my normal way of life. Grateful.
