• From Low to High (52+) VO2 max in 14 months

  A last note to my progress is that I started using Lifesum to track calorie intake and macro nutrients after my weight loss, in order to find my balance and gain a more healthy relationship with eating - I learned so much from that. I was straight up practising malnutrition and had a very unhealthy fear of carbs and fat for a long time - but I also needed to loose that weight, maybe just not THAT fast 🙈.

• Tracking tools recommendations?

  I don't have the premium version but if you're willing to shell the $, Lifesum has a beautiful interface, barcode scanning, recipes, and nutrition tracking info. You'll get macros at the free level. Source: over 1 year ago

• Fantastic Success, but Wrapping Up My Noom Experience Nonetheless. I'm Over It.

  *** For what it's worth, I'm switching to Lifesum for tracking calories. I looked at the majority of major apps, and this seems like it fits best for me. ***. Source: over 1 year ago

• Favourite calorie/meal tracker?

  I use Lifesum. Best user experience from all the apps I’ve used before. It’s paid but I think it’s pretty cheap ($23 /year) https://lifesum.com. Source: over 1 year ago

• I need help putting together a meal plan. What are the best subs to get help/other resources for that?

  I’ve only tried Lifesum and Yazio. Recommend them both. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Chlorpyrifos: Pesticide tied to brain damage in children

  Not exactly what you describe, but there's Yuka for processed products (food and cosmetics). You scan a barcode and it gives you a score based on the product composition, it's quite helpful: https://yuka.io/en/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• Show HN: Nutrient insights through your grocery receipts

  I would have thought the same until I found yuka (https://yuka.io/en/) and saw that they make multi-millions per year. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago

• I love this deodorant for the safety of its ingredients, but 8g of it is locked in cage at the end after you’re finished pushing it up all the way, and it’s not cheap. I can’t believe I’m only noticing this now. This is like my 5th stick.

  There’s a couple really great apps for scanning your products. The one I use more is Yuka. It’s free, and cites scientific sources and descriptions of ingredients as well as recommends alternatives in a non-biased was (brands can’t pay them to promote their products) and there’re very transparent about where their funding comes from. There’s also the EWG.org website (they also have an app but I don’t like it as... Source: 5 months ago

• Yucca App scans your foods and personal products to protect you

  It's not good to use spray tan or any kind of makeup that has toxic ingredients. When I first started covering Vitligo with spray tan, I was using some of the worst products! I'm lucky I wasn't hurt. I found out about the Environemntal Work Group app and the Think Dirty app, but I was still getting products like body lotion, scented soaps etc that weren't good - even though they were reccomended by EWG and TD! ...

• Is Eco Styler really bad for hair?

  In the short term it’s probably fine. If you want to use “healthier” hair products, I’ve been using the Yuka app to find better products.you basically scan the barcode and it gives you a rating from bad-excellent on a 0-100 scale. It’s nice because it actually tells you what ingredients are bad and why. When I checked my clear eco-styler most of the ingredients are good (risk-free), but 3 were bad enough to get a...
