I've tried various diet tracking apps as well as dieting on my own without a program. These methods lacked the tailored support that enabled me to have success with MyBodyTutor. I struggled with maintaining a consistent, healthy diet. I could remain on track for several weeks only to eventually be derailed by a sports injury or intense period at work, during which I used food to cope with the stress. I found out about MyBodyTutor through a Google search but wondered if it was worth the cost compared to free or cheaper alternatives. My hope before joining was to improve my fitness and feel more energized, and MyBodyTutor has delivered on that and more. MyBodyTutor provides institutional and interpersonal support that promotes accountability and success. Working with a professional who provided daily feedback on my nutritional and exercise choices was significantly more effective than merely inputting my meals into an app. The MyBodyTutor team was “in my corner,” while other app-based programs were isolating and relied entirely on my self-discipline, which would wear thin during periods of high stress. My tutor, Matt, helped me develop a routine predicated on low-impact but filling nutritional choices and near-daily exercise. We accounted for the occasional indulgence—a scoop of ice cream or a glass of wine—all while keeping me on track and working towards my goals. I lost 22 pounds while using MyBodyTutor for three months. In addition to dramatically improving my fitness (running and lifting), I feel more energized during the workday (fewer crashes), and my clothes fit more comfortably. Importantly, I realized these tremendous improvements despite dealing with the ebbs and flow of life like periods of high stress at work, sports injuries and illnesses, and travel. MyBodyTutor does not rely on fitness shortcuts or fads but instead emphasizes making consistent, healthy choices. Like most people, I could already make good dietary and exercise choices for short durations—the trick was to develop a sustainable routine. MyBodyTutor provided the tools and support to help me consistently make the healthy choices that were foundational to my success.
