Simple Life app is the award-winning coaching app to achieve your health goal
At a time when there are extreme weight loss plans, treatments and diets being followed it can feel scary to know what is safe for you and your body to follow.
Thankfully, Simple Life app has heard our cries for a gentle and fuss-free approach to help us achieve our weight loss goals.
Simple Life is an award-winning health coaching app, which is supported by AI, that creates bespoke health plans suited to your body type and needs. Consider it your nutrition and PT combined in one app.
Simple Life focuses on intermittent fastening to achieve your weight loss goals sustainably and healthily without calorie counting, extreme fitness sessions, or (god forbid) injections. Instead, Simple Life has worked with a network of leading experts around the globe, from dieticians to researchers to create an app that will support every user.
This creation, which has been downloaded over 18 million times globally, invites subscribers to follow its intermittent fasting tracker in the safest way to suit their needs and goals.
The app enables customers to log their food, whether it is through typing, voicenotes or a photo of their meal, in the app. This means you do not have to count calories, cut out a certain food group (typically carbohydrates), or weigh your ingredients, which we can all agree is an arduous process and not sustainable long-term.
The Nutri-Scanner works to help you understand the nutritional value in your meal, which is educational without it feeling like a telling off.
The Simple Life app features daily workout plans, so you can create a personalised weekly schedule to suit your needs, time and fitness preferences, whether it is strength training, yoga, cardio or home workouts.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, need advice or have plateaued, Avo – the in-app AI coach – is on hand 24/7 to help. Avo can offer you advice, guidance, as well as suggest healthy recipes or snacks.
It is easy to use. When you have signed up to the app you will have to complete a detailed survey to understand your health goals, lifestyle and past experiences to navigate a healthy wellness journey.
Better still there is an exclusive offer on, which could see you save 60% off your membership.
We have seen and read some of the testimonials, and there's no denying some customers have had astounding success.
Debi Hunt lost 76lbs in nine months, sharing her experience she said: 'I went from a size 20 to a 12, which is amazing! I still have 24lbs to go until I get to my goal of 140lb. But more importantly, I feel fabulous!'
Karen Haffernan has lost 207lbs since joining Simple Life, which she has insisted is solely down to intermittent fasting and exercise, and not surgery, diet pills or any other alternative. She shared: 'Good food, good exercise, good sleep and motivation' is all she needed. More Trending
Detailing her experience, she said: 'My journey started at 169kg. I'm currently in January 2025 at 82kg, so it's been quite a phenomenal weight loss. That's about 13.5 stone. I started my journey back in July 2023. I started small – I found the intermittent fasting lifestyle, I did a lot of research on that and gradually built things up. I also found Simple, which was a great way to track the fasts I was doing and give me tips along the way, as well as Avo, which is great for giving you tips on health and nutrition and making recipes.'
A fear some have when losing a lot of weight is excess skin, but Karen doesn't have this concern because she claims fasting has anti-inflammatory effects, and was a gentle weight loss journey – but an effective one at that.

Another success story comes in the form of Marcel Botes who has lost 27 lbs in three months. He weighed in: 'So far, I've lost 12.5 kilograms. I reached my original goal weight of 87 .6 kilograms in two months to set a new target of 83.5kg, which I achieved a month later. Even after reaching my goal, I still log my meals and activities multiple times a day. After a health assessment, my doctor noted that my BMI, blood pressure and cholesterol were in healthy ranges and advised me to keep going.'

Earth is spinning so fast that tomorrow will be shorter - but is time going faster?
Lisa Maynard-Atem, 47, can barely remember what she had for breakfast three days ago, let alone what happened last year. Halfway into 2025, we've had World War Three scares, deadly weather events, a whirlwind Trump presidency and high-profile court cases. For people like Lisa, these happened yesterday. Or was it last month? Maybe 2016? 'Time feels like it's on fast-forward,' Lisa, a branding consultant living in Manchester, told Metro. 'It still feels like it's 2020 when we were in lockdown. One minute, it was January and my younger sister was getting married. Next, it was March, and Boris Johnson was telling us to stay home 'One night, I went to bed and woke in 2025.' Time flies when we're having fun and drags when we're bored, as the sayings go. But lately, it's flying even if we're having no fun. Is time going faster? Time is a very confusing concept, but generally, we can think of it in a few different ways. We live in a four-dimensional world, width, length, depth and time. Time as a dimension neither flows nor ticks; it just is, and can be observed as things in our universe change. Then there's the time that clocks measure in seconds, minutes and hours. This is clock time, or objective time. Finally, there's mind time, also called subjective time, the time we feel passing. We know how our brains deal with senses, like touch and taste, but how we sense time is a mystery, says Devin Terhune, a reader in experimental psychology at King's College London. Certain parts of the brain have been identified as possible stopwatches, such as the basal ganglia or cerebellum, 'but their precise role in timing has not been clarified,' Terhune says. 'Research suggests that our variations in our experience of time may be due to variations in perceptual processing, such as our experience of salient or novel events or changes in sensory inputs. 'So, a complex scene might be perceived as lasting longer than one in which there are very few changes.' Stefano Arlaud, a researcher on time perception and metacognition of time perception at Queen Mary University of London, tells Metro that we might have an internal clock made of a 'pacemaker' that emits pulses that signify the passing of time. 'The more attentively we monitor time, the more pulses are registered, and the longer an event appears to last,' he says. 'When attention is directed elsewhere – toward a demanding task or a flood of sensory input – this gate narrows, pulses go uncounted and time seems to contract.' This plays into how life seems to feel slower when you're young and turbocharged as you get older, as it's proportional to what we've already lived through. A year for a two-year-old is half their life, and is only one-70th for a 70-year-old. 'Memory becomes the clock,' says Arlaud, adding: 'Events that lack novelty or variation feel short in memory because the brain has stored fewer temporal 'markers'.' Clock time is also getting shorter, kind of. Broadly speaking, Earth takes roughly 24 hours to spin around on its axis. Ocean tides, volcanic activity and earthquakes can affect the planet's rotation speed. For years, however, the Earth has been spinning faster, making days shorter. Global timekeepers say that tomorrow, July 22 and August 5 will be between 1.30 and 1.51 milliseconds shorter than normal. August 5 will be one of the shortest days on record, with the shortest being July 5, 2024, cut short by 1.66 milliseconds. All this lost time means we're going to have a 'negative leap second' in 2029 to keep timekeeping systems, like GPS systems, accurate. Richard Holme, an emeritus professor of geophysics at the University of Liverpool, says the Moon is partly behind this. The Earth's gravitational dance with the Moon causes our planet to bulge, Holme tells Metro. 'It takes some time for the material to recover and go back. Try pulling the skin on your arm – or better, find an old person like me and do it to them. When you let go, the skin returns, but it takes a little time,' he says. 'In the time it takes to go down, the Earth has rotated, which means the bulge is not aligned with the direction of the Moon, but rotated out of line. 'The out-of-line bulge is pulled by the Moon in the opposite direction to the rotation, so it tends to act against and reduce Earth's rotation. This slows down the speed of rotation, and so increases the length of day.' But tomorrow, the Moon will be far enough away enough that a day will be shorter instead. We probably won't clock – pun intended – that we've lost milliseconds tomorrow. But losing mind time is taking a toll on us. What Lisa is describing is called 'digital hyperstimulation', which is turning our brains into 'sieves'. Arlaud says: 'The digital environment offers relentless novelty – news updates, messages, entertainment – but this novelty is often shallow and rapidly replaced. 'Paradoxically, this leads to poor memory encoding: the constant churn of low-significance content prevents the deep processing needed to form durable memory.' Think of those nights you spent in bed scrolling on TikTok for a few minutes, only to realise it's been three hours. We now feel 'behind' all the time, leaving us stressed and burnt out. More Trending 'People are not just misperceiving time – they're mismanaging it, reinforcing a feedback loop of overload and disconnection,' Arlaud warns. Lisa knows this feeling all too well. Making every day meaningful as someone self-employed has left her in an 'odd time warp'. 'Weeks bleed into months,' Lisa says, 'and, suddenly, two years have passed.'

Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more We all want gorgeous, glowing skin that's almost glass like – right? We also don't want to spend an absolute fortune trying to get it. Well, Amazon shoppers are in for a treat as viral K-beauty skin essence, COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence, hailed as 'better than Botox', is currently on offer in an early Amazon Prime Day deal. Loved by beauty expert Emma North for years, the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence is currently £16.30 at Amazon, with 52% off the usual price, thanks to the pre-sales event. 'When my skin is flaky, dull and dry, I reach for this essence every time,' she says. 'I have sensitive, redness-prone skin that reacts to harsh ingredients but this serum soothes irritation, giving long-lasting hydration without feeling heavy or thick.' Formulated with 96% of Snail Secretion Filtrate, this incredibly hydrating moisturiser protects the skin from any dryness and aging, by repairing the skin's moisture. The result? The snail serum improves the skin's vitality by reducing dullness and soothing dehydrated skin with snail mucin. No snails are actually harmed in the making of this product, don't worry. What we love most about the product is how the use of 96% Snail Mucin helps to repair and soothe red, sensitive skin after breakouts – all by replenishing moisture deep into your skin, whilst also improving skin elasticity too. Over 100,000 people have purchased the product since launching on Amazon's website, and a whopping 85,795 users have put it to the test – leaving rave reviews. In fact, 74% of users have rated it five-stars so we're adding it into our basket asap. One five-star reviewer, who's previously had Botox almost shouted from the rooftops about how the COSRX moisturiser worked even better for her skin, and went on to say: 'My skin feels genuinely plumped up. My makeup isn't all flaky with my skin peeling off dry dead skin cells come evening. My skin is now really glowing and plumped. It actually looks better than when I've had Botox and I love Botox. My pores are more refined and not as clogged as have been and I just have a lovely glow under my makeup.' Georgie said: 'The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin is a beloved staple in my skincare routine, offering exceptional hydration and nourishment. Applied before moisturiser, this serum works wonders, providing a boost of moisture and promoting a plump, youthful complexion.' More Trending She went on to say: 'As a key component of my Korean skincare routine, it helps to improve skin texture, minimise fine lines, and enhance overall radiance. Its lightweight, non-greasy formula absorbs effortlessly, making it suitable for all skin types. The COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin is a must-have for anyone looking to achieve healthy, glowing skin as part of their Korean skincare regimen.' FE also backed this, and added: 'I have extremely sensitive skin and literally react to everything! This is the first and only product I have not reacted to and worked with visible results in 3 days my face is clearer, brighter, smoother! I'm glowing and my skin tone has evened out! Love it.' Jacob hailed the moisturiser 'magic' and went on to say: 'I'm absolutely thrilled with the COSRX Glass Skin Starter Set, particularly the Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence! This skincare set is truly a game-changer. The essence, made with 96% snail secretion filtrate, sounds unusual but works like magic. It's incredibly lightweight and absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving it feeling hydrated and smooth without any greasiness.' Consider us sold.

I put Momcozy's pregnancy pillow to the test to see if it could break my bad habit
Metro journalists select and curate the products that feature on our site. If you make a purchase via links on this page we will earn commission – learn more Before I got pregnant, I didn't really think about how I slept. I wriggled, I lay on my front, I'd flip to my back – occasionally, I'd end up on my side, but it was far from my preference. And then I got that wonderful positive test and suddenly I had to learn all the things I could no longer do. Of course I realised that once my bump came, sleeping on my front was going to be tricky, but I didn't realise that come 28 weeks, doctors recommend you don't lie on your back to go to sleep. In fact, they actually suggest you sleep on your left hand side (this is to reduce the risk of stillbirth). It was an instruction I was keen to follow but unsure if – given my 30 years of being a wriggly worm – I would be able to. So I decided to get my training in early. This might not be the reason most mums-to-be buy the Momcozy's £72.99 Huggable U Shaped Maternity Body Pillow (back, hip and belly support seem to be the main motivators), but it was certainly mine. I wanted to train myself to become a side sleeper well before week 28, when I was sure the pillow would become even more of a treasured possession for reasons I was yet to discover. The first thing to say is that the pillow is not small (see: a number of videos on social media of men saying they feel emasculated by their partner's Huggables) but I'm 5'9″ and felt it perfectly aligned with my frame. It's so big that in summer months, it pretty much makes all other bedding redundant. There's no need for pillows (that's the flat bit at the top), and it's warm enough (given that you are surrounded on both sides) that you can pretty much do without a duvet, too. It's ludicrously soft (there are two options: velvet and cooling – I went for the latter), the cushion is plump and springy, and stays cold to the touch. The first night of sleeping with it, head firmly on the pillow, long side on my left, with leg hugging the u-shaped bottom, I stayed put – no wiggling. Yes my bladder woke me up four times in the night, but each return to bed was made a lot comfier by being able to easily get back into prime sleeping position. One 5 star review on their website said that it also helped her from rolling onto her back, while another described it as a 'human sized dog bed' – and haven't we all wanted to curl up into one of those? But it's clear this pillow has been well thought-out. For those who haven't had the pleasure, pregnancy can also bring with it a nice dose of acid reflux, and a good way to relieve that is to raise the head. The elevated pillow can help with that. For those with hip and back pain (which I think is a lot of us), having your top leg over a bolster with your other leg straight can alleviate pressure on those areas and can improve blood circulation (win). You might think that's enough – surely the Huggable has fulfilled its role – but it didn't take me long to realise that this pillow is not just for sleep. Since I brought it home, it has barely left my side. That's because it has so many uses (largely as a table). You can use any side you want to shape a little desk around your bump. I've seen many online saying once the baby is born it becomes a brilliant rest for their newborn to lie on while feeding. For me, instead of precariously balancing my laptop near my belly, I use the 'arms' (I don't know what else to call them) as a makeshift table while supporting my back while sitting on the sofa. You could even eat dinner off this little ledge if you fancied (although with pregnancy making coordination worse, it feels a little risky). More Trending Other users have treated it like a beanbag chair, propping up the back and then depositing themselves in the centre like an egg in a nest. I'm pretty sure I'll be uncovering new combinations daily until my due date – and after still. To be honest, I'd recommend this even to people who aren't expecting. Reviews cite its uses in post-surgery recovery, or just for general comfort, and a friend even confessed she has one for hungover days.
