[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2089289, member: 345386"] As far as I am concerned, yes, of course, any app could help someone control their eating more than if they didn't have it, but I will also content that of someone is in the grasp of an eating disorder, then they will progress their objectives, with or without a tool that basically just adds up. Whilst some people find some ways of eating lead to increased risk of over-eating or binging, it could be argued that the reduction in hunger that many experience when adopting a LC style of eating could also be unhelpful to those who are in the grasp of an eating disorder. This is just yet another example of why there is rarely a single solution to complex and personalised issues - whether an eating disorder, diabetes, IBS or anxiety - just to name a few. [/QUOTE]
