1. LIFESUM
Lifesum focuses on diet. In the beginning you enter your height, weight and gender as usual as well as your goal weight.
Unlike fad diets, it lets you eat what you want - in moderation. It uses your current weight and goal weight to calculate your recommended daily calories. You then log what you eat at every meal and it adds calories to your day, ultimately filling your recommended allowance. You can also log your exercise, which deducts calories from your meals. You can track your progress visually through a monthly or daily graph.
Lifesum also offers specific dietary plans but I did not find those particularly helpful. If you upgrade to premium, you get access to a bounty of recipes for every meal. Lifesum has made me more conscious of what and how much I eat.
2. SWEAT
While Lifesum focuses on diet, Sweat focuses on fitness. Linked to Instagram fitness sensation Kayla Itsines, it tailors a programme to your needs with exercises getting progressively harder as your endurance improves. Exercises targeted at legs, arms and abs take 28 minutes each and require no special equipment, which is great if you are new to home fitness.
