I studied neuroscience in college, so have tried to stay up to date on what we know about the biology of things like anxiety and depression (surprisingly, we know very little for sure). The "chemical imbalance" hypothesis that I w

Ah, your best bet would be a low carb plan. You'll still have dairy and whole grains in moderation but no refined sugars and flours.

Thanks for the feedback! We like to make sure we have enough new recipes for many months of using the service before allowing two categories to be combined, but you're welcome to hack it that way for now. Filet mignon was a glitch (we

Thanks so much for the feedback! Our conversion rate through the quiz is really high so we've not had reason to turn the product into more of a quick fix. We've a/b tested all sorts of flows and this one has worked best and c

You can imagine my dismay at reading that book after I started this company, lol. ;) Good thing it's all about execution.

Thank you so much for the love! :) :) We have a huge group of paleo and keto users and I personally think low carb is the best way to eat, so double high five!

Hi! Glad you found the service useful. We now have a feature that lets you specify grocery store so that less exotic ingredients are shown if you live somewhere a bit more obscure (grew up in a small town myself, so I get it!) You can also

You can sync with JawBone & FitBit, but not MFP (they're not accepting API requests this year). We do give you a full breakdown of nutritional info for each meal though, so you can always enter the macros in manually.

Thank you so much! The waste reduction algorithms we use definitely help cut costs (on the back end, we can see the waste savings in $ over time -- though it's not visible to users yet, it's pretty remarkable.) There's a ques
