Fit and Fine

I am officially 16lbs down Sissy Poohs:

What I have realized is the white girls have been on to something.

You know when you watch early 2000 sitcoms, you know, before the whole body positivity thing and inclusivity thing, when all of the white girls were counting calories. I thought that was crazy but that is what has skyrocketed my weight loss.

Essentially, with the first 7-9lbs lost, I had changed up my diet and started working out again. I was doing well and started seeing progress and then - boom, plateau.

I downloaded the "Lose-It" app that helped me set up a plan based on how fast I want to reach my goal of 165lbs. Essentially, based on how much I workout, with 10k steps a day and eating between 1400-1600 calories, I should reach my goal by October 9th, next month; I'm excited.

I think its definitely feasible since I'm 5lbs away from my goal with about a month left.

Losing weight, eating all three meals a day with a snack feels so much better. The first time I lost weight, I was just starving myself, so I felt like I looked slim, but I my face was drooping and I looked plushy/soft.

Versus now, I look more toned, my face looks chiseled, and honestly, I am fine as hell.

I meal prep 3 boiled eggs (just the egg white chilllllle, I don't want high cholesterol), for lunch, I eat a full fruit jar, abut 14oz, then a small dinner consisting of some type of protein (usually chicken), and either a boiled sweet potato (about 88 calories), a small spinach salad with one tablespoon of Cesar dressing and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese (about 114 calories) or 1/3 cup of white rice (42 calories). On the weekends I don't workout but I still take Coco for her two mile walk and I am usually still able to obtain about 10k steps a day.

I also indulge in scrambled eggs (one full egg and two egg whites) with cheese, garlic salt, onion and black pepper with bacon. But that meal is so filling what it usually keeps me full for the most part. I also still drink coffee with French vanilla creamer every morning - but no added sugar because the cream alone makes the coffee 420 calories.

That's another thing this app and my journey have taught me - looking at serving sizes and actually calculating the amount of calories are in a meal and how much I am actually eating.

If I am being completely honest, seeing the numbers made me feel like a freaking vacuum.

The above gif is a reference to the rapper Ice Spice calling Cleotrapa (another rapper) a vacuum for eating everything brought to their table at an Italian restaurant.

The first day I used the app I had inputed my breakfast and measured everything: Within an hour I had consumed almost 800 calories, talk about a fat-ass right!!

I love using the app. I also love the fact that I was able to link my Apple Watch so I can accurately get a count of my steps, calories burned in my workouts, how long I stand for, etc.

Make sure you do what works for you. I am one of those people that cute outfits, the color pink, and seeing visual representations of my efforts, are what propels me to go harder and further. I literally only bought my Apple Watch for fitness purposes and made sure the band was pink. I have arm weights that are 1lb I wear around the house while doing chores, the leg warmers to add some spunk to my workout outfits, pink 32oz water bottle, my meal prep jars are pink, did I mention I did pink French tip this week? I think I have made my point.

Lastly, as long as you are reaching your goal in a healthy way, don't allow people to tell you:

"you're fine"

"you look great"

"you need to eat more"

"oh so you wanna be skinny"

"I can't hang around you"

Or whatever the hell else they say. Most people say these things from a place of insecurity because they don't have the determination or disciple to achieve goals that they would love to have - but can't do - and would rather make excuses. If being slimmer and healthier is what makes you happy, do it! Don't listen to the naysayers. They just want you to be miserable like them (jk, but I'm serious).

In all, I am proud of myself this time around where I am learning to create a sustainable healthy lifestyle. It also helps that my boyfriend is literally a gym rate who consumes protein like we breathe air, insane, but helpful.

If you have questions or want to start, please feel free to leave comments, ask questions, dm - or just do your own thing.

I hope this inspired you.

Remember, there's only three month left in the year, meaning nine months until the Summer of 2025. You have more than enough time to get in shape and be a beach babe.

As always,

With love,

Sarah Chanel

P.S.

Once in a blue, I eat a snickers bar

what app do you use for your workouts? (The one that you showed for the glutes workout)

Jefit - sizeable workout database, tracking functionality, and you can input your weight and body measurements to monitor your progress.

[beardycarrot]

How did you get into shape? I know nothing about fitness and I don’t really know how to get started.

Honestly, it's pretty simple and boring. Literally just diet and exercise! That said, I can go into more detail of the what, how, and why. First of all, for anyone stumbling upon this, here's a picture of me from 2019, and one I took just now for this post, wearing the same outfit:

...aaaand here's one from last week (technically a video still), wearing clothing that actually fits me:

I never really cared about my weight, or how I looked. Being overweight didn't prevent me from doing anything that I wanted to do, and I was pretty sure that if I wanted to, I could lose weight pretty easily... but again, I didn't really care. In July 2021, I went on vacation to Minnesota with my fiancée, and ended up sampling too many sodas on the trip. I just didn't want sweet drinks at all for a while after that.

When I finally had some sweet tea a couple weeks after returning home, I was curious how many calories I'd consumed that day. I looked up calorie counting apps, and ended up choosing one that I liked the icon of, since I've got a touch of the OCD and ADHD, and make custom icons for all of the apps on my phone in the same style. The app I chose is called Lose It, and... I'll go into how that works in a bit.

All I wanted to do was plug in everything I'd eaten and see how many calories it was, but before you can do that, the app wants you to input your stats, your goals, set up a weight loss plan, etc... I got through all that, and was surprised to see that it claimed I would be able to lose one hundred pounds in one year, so long as I ate within the daily calorie budget it provided. What's more, the budget was surprisingly lenient. I had my doubts, but I was willing to try it for a couple days. Especially since I hadn't actually weighed or measured any of the food I'd eaten that day, so the calorie count I'd originally been looking for ended up being an incredibly loose estimate.

It took a while to fine-tune things, but it was surprisingly easy to stick to the budget provided, especially considering that exercise you log counts as negative calories for your totals. I started measuring everything I ate, and made a rule of "if it doesn't go in the app, it doesn't go in the mouth". I already walked my dog for about an hour every day, but I also added swimming with an interval timer app. Four minutes of swimming, followed by two minutes of water-walking, totaling up to a twenty-eight minute daily exercise. No real basis for this, that's just kinda... what I arrived at.

As for food, I didn't really eat anything specific, or avoid anything either. I started having protein shakes (protein powder with twice the amount of water the directions call for) as my daily breakfast, and trying to get a decent number of my daily calories from protein sources, but that aside, no real food restrictions. I just basically ate whatever I wanted, so long as they were in reasonable quantities and fit within my calorie budget. I also made sure that I was eating within the budget that was generated for me at the start of the day, and ignoring the fact that the I could technically eat more if I wanted with the calories subtracted by logging my workouts. Measuring calories burned is a lot less accurate than measuring the calories in food.

Weight started to come off VERY quickly, leading me to do research on the actual bodily processes involved. This may not be 100% accurate, but it's to the best of my understanding.

Your body requires a certain number of calories per day to continue operating as normal, and if you don't get them from the food you eat, you have to get them from somewhere, right? When you first start eating at a calorie deficit, you'll begin burning glycogen, which is basically sugar stored in your muscles to be used as a quick fuel source. Normally, you'll just use it bit by bit as your physical activity exceeds the amount of usable glucose your body has on hand, but when losing weight your body taps the glycogen stores HARD. When glycogen is broken down into glucose, you're left with water as a byproduct, which your body will dispose of through the usual channels.

This is where the rapid weight loss comes into play. Water weighs a lot, and as you're burning glycogen, you'll likely experience a few days during which your body is shedding several pounds of water. This process is actually the foundation of the entire weight loss industry... You start a new diet, cleanse, treatment, exercise plan, whatever, you see immediate results, you rave about how great the product or program is, and then... your body switches from burning glycogen to burning fat. Suddenly what you were doing isn't working as well, and you assume that you must be doing something wrong. The people who sold you the plan already have your money, so they don't care if you move onto something else. Not all companies do this, of course, but the industry as a whole seems pretty predatory.

Water retention can have a surprisingly big impact on your weight. For example, if you eat salty foods, your body needs more water than usual to deal with the sodium, so you'll be holding onto extra water weight for a while. If you start a new exercise or otherwise use muscles you normally don't, those muscles will form micro-tears... which sounds scary, but is actually perfectly normal. However, to heal them, your body needs... again, extra water. Even something like where you are in your menstrual cycle will affect how much water you're currently retaining, so your weight can really fluctuate in confusing ways.

Anyway! Fat is about six times more calorie-dense than glycogen, so once your body switches to burning fat, weight loss will noticeably slow. I was lucky, in that, again... I didn't really care about losing weight all that much. At that point, I was just doing it for fun. I like to use services like The Backloggery, MyAnimeList, and Goodreads to document the media I consume, and I basically took the same approach to counting calories; I was mainly logging my meals and exercise just for the joy of having logged it.

As winter approached, I knew that I wouldn't be able to continue swimming, so picked up a copy of Ring Fit Advenure, a game for the Nintendo Switch that uses a modified pilates hoop that can hold a controller. It's basically... an on-rails shooter JRPG fitness game?

You jog through levels, doing simple stretches and exercises, and every so often run into enemies that you have to defeat through reps of arm, leg, and core exercises. It took me about five months to beat the game, and another five to get through NewGame+ and NewGame++. After that, with no new content to explore, I bought a new exercise game call Fitness Boxing 2. It's not nearly as fun or comprehensive, but it's a good way to get me moving.

I hit my one hundred pound weight loss goal a little under eight months after downloading the app, and after that point, just set small goals to aim for. A little over a year after starting, I hit 150 lost, and have just kinda been maintaining ever since. I've recently decided to buckle down and aim for a new goal, which if I reach it will put me at half of my starting weight. It's not much more of a push, but is enough to be a challenge, so I'm going to do my best to get there by the two year anniversary of downloading Lose It.

If you have any other questions (or something is confusing because I'm not proofreading this before posting it), feel free to ask!

[radfemtreehugger]

I can't believe I'm seeing this misinformation uncritically.

Exercise burns very little calories so yes, it's very very easy to not burn enough to lose weight, or eat back those calories and stay in maintenance or even a calorie surplus and gain weight.

HOWEVER. All this talk about how weight loss in general is impossible is bullshit. People want to believe that because then they have no responsibility. By all means do whatever you want with it body.

For the people in the notes asking how DO you lose weight then and being told it's hopeless: it's not. Here's my advice and it will SAVE you money not cost anything.

Google maintenance calorie calculator. Input your details. It will tell you how many calories you eat to maintain your current weight. Then subtract from that. 250 calories and you'll lose half a pound a week. If you have more to lose then 500.

Get a food scale. They're cheap and the only expense necessary. Eating less will save you money though. You can get one for $10 to $20

Weigh everything you eat. Don't forget oils, butter, sauces, they have a lot of calories. Don't forget liquid calories like soda. Measure and weigh everything. Over time this will get easier and you'll get an idea of the right amounts.

Input this into an app like loseit or myfitnesspal. Loseit is free the other probably is too i dunno.

If you do it right the weight will slowly come off. Then transition to maintenance. Use that calorie calculator again. Done. Simple but not easy.

Me: Exercise does not cause weight loss. This is a fact that has been demonstrated so robustly in research that even doctors, who hate and fear evidence, are grudgingly starting to admit this.

Someone reading that post: Cool, but have you considered that exercise leads to weight loss?

Me: I am going to eat you

Top Strategies for Effective Community Engagement in Organizations

In today's rapidly evolving business landscape, community engagement has emerged as a crucial strategy for organizations seeking to build strong relationships with their stakeholders, foster loyalty, and drive positive change. Effective community engagement not only enhances an organization's reputation but also contributes to its long-term success by creating a sense of shared purpose and collective responsibility. Whether your organization is a corporation, nonprofit, or governmental body, implementing strategies for meaningful community engagement can lead to a more connected and supportive environment. Here are some top strategies for effective community engagement within your organization.

Understand Your Community's Needs

The foundation of any successful community engagement strategy lies in a deep understanding of the community you are trying to engage. This involves conducting thorough research to identify your community members' needs, concerns, and aspirations. Surveys, focus groups, and one-on-one interviews are practical information-gathering tools. By understanding your community's unique characteristics, your organization can tailor its engagement efforts to address specific issues and deliver real value.

Build Trust Through Transparency

Trust is the cornerstone of effective community engagement. Organizations must be transparent in their intentions, actions, and communications to build and maintain community trust. This means being open about your organization's goals, challenges, and decision-making processes: regular updates, honest communication, and the willingness to admit mistakes foster trust. Transparency also involves being responsive to feedback and showing that the organization values and acts upon the input received from the community.

Foster Open Communication Channels

Open and ongoing communication is critical to effectively engaging with your community. Providing multiple channels for communication—such as social media platforms, community forums, newsletters, and town hall meetings—ensures that community members can share their thoughts and concerns. Encouraging two-way communication, where the organization listens as much as it speaks, helps build stronger relationships and ensures the community feels heard and valued. Additionally, establishing a feedback loop where community input is regularly reviewed and acted upon demonstrates a commitment to meaningful engagement.

Empower Community Leadership

Empowering community members to take on leadership roles within your organization's engagement efforts can significantly enhance the effectiveness of your strategy. By identifying and supporting natural leaders within the community, your organization can create ambassadors who are passionate about driving engagement and who have the trust of their peers. Providing these leaders with the tools, resources, and authority to lead initiatives strengthens community ties and fosters a sense of ownership and accountability within the community.

Leverage Technology for Engagement

In the digital age, technology offers powerful tools for community engagement. Online platforms, social media, and mobile apps can reach a broader audience, facilitate communication, and streamline engagement efforts. Virtual events, webinars, and online discussion groups allow community members to connect and collaborate from anywhere, making it easier to maintain engagement even in dispersed or global communities. Additionally, using data analytics to track engagement metrics can help your organization measure the effectiveness of its strategies and make data-driven adjustments.

Create Collaborative Opportunities

Collaboration is a key element of successful community engagement. Providing opportunities for the community to collaborate with your organization on projects, initiatives, and decision-making processes fosters a sense of partnership and shared purpose. Whether through joint volunteer efforts, co-design workshops, or participatory budgeting, involving the community in tangible ways strengthens the relationship. It ensures that the outcomes are aligned with the community's needs and values.

Recognize and Celebrate Contributions

Acknowledging and celebrating the contributions of community members is essential for sustaining engagement. Recognizing the efforts of individuals and groups within the community, whether through awards, public acknowledgments, or small gestures of appreciation, reinforces the value of their participation. Celebrating big and small successes helps build momentum and encourages continued involvement.

Ensure Inclusivity and Accessibility

Inclusivity and accessibility are fundamental to effective community engagement. Your organization should strive to engage all community segments, including those who may be underrepresented or marginalized. This may involve adapting communication methods, providing resources in multiple languages, or ensuring that events are accessible to people with disabilities. By being inclusive, your organization can tap into a broader range of perspectives and create a more equitable and representative engagement process.

Effective community engagement is an ongoing process that requires commitment, creativity, and collaboration. By understanding your community's needs, building trust, fostering open communication, empowering leadership, leveraging technology, creating collaborative opportunities, recognizing contributions, and ensuring inclusivity, your organization can build stronger, more meaningful connections with its community. These strategies enhance engagement and contribute to your organization's long-term success and sustainability, creating a positive impact that resonates far beyond the immediate community.

Uncover the Secrets of the RMR Calculator for Effective Weight Loss

Hormones like thyroid hormones, insulin, A Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) calculator is a valuable tool in health and fitness, estimating the calories your body burns while at rest. It takes into account essential functions like breathing, circulation, and temperature regulation. By inputting details such as age, gender, weight, and height, this calculator provides insights into your basic energy needs, helping you create personalized diet and exercise plans.

Knowing your RMR allows you to refine your nutrition and fitness strategies according to your goals, whether that's losing weight, maintaining your current weight, or building muscle. It helps you set realistic calorie targets and develop effective meal and workout routines. Essentially, an RMR calculator equips you to make informed decisions about your health by highlighting your body's unique energy requirements.

In this blog post, we’ll explore the science behind the RMR calculator and how to use it effectively for your weight loss journey. We'll cover what RMR (Resting Metabolic Rate) is and how it affects your daily calorie expenditure. Let’s dive in!

What Exactly Is a Resting Metabolism Calculator?

As the name implies, the resting metabolic rate (RMR) is the total calories burned while at rest. RMR supports vital body functions like circulation, breathing, neurological activities, and organ functions. Here’s how RMR is calculated:

Calorimetry

   - Direct calorimetry measures heat production in a controlled environment to determine energy expenditure, while indirect calorimetry evaluates oxygen consumption through gas analysis for the same purpose.

   - Both direct and indirect calorimetry are accurate but expensive, time-consuming, and not widely available. Over time, more accessible and affordable methods for estimating Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) have been developed, though they vary in precision.

   - Today, common methods include mathematical equations, available through online calculators, mobile apps, and wearable devices. These provide RMR estimates that help with dietary and fitness planning.

The RMR Calculator's Role in Weight Loss

A weight loss RMR calculator is essential for those aiming to lose extra pounds. It estimates your Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), which represents the calories your body burns while at rest.

1. Estimate Your Caloric Needs

By entering details such as age, gender, weight, height, and activity level, the calculator provides an estimate of your Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE). This reflects the calories needed to maintain your current weight and the caloric deficit required for weight loss.

2. Choose an Accurate RMR Calculator

When selecting an RMR calculator, focus on accuracy, ease of use, and how well it meets your needs. Opt for calculators based on reliable formulas like the Harris-Benedict or Mifflin-St Jeor equations, which have been thoroughly tested. Look for user-friendly calculators that make it easy to enter your information.

3. Evaluate Additional Features

Consider calculators that offer extra features, such as progress tracking, personalized advice, or integration with fitness apps and wearables. Choose calculators from reputable sources like health agencies or respected fitness organizations to ensure reliability.

4. Find a Reliable Weight Loss Tool

Finally, check reviews and recommendations to find the RMR calculator that best suits your weight loss goals. The best RMR calculator provides accurate estimates based on your specific situation. Remember, while these calculators are useful, they offer estimates rather than exact values.

Key Factors for Measuring Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR)

Several physiological and environmental factors impact Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), each playing a key role in determining the energy the body needs at rest. Here are some important factors:

1.Body Composition 

The amount of lean body mass—muscles, bones, and organs—affects RMR. Lean body mass requires more energy to maintain than fat tissue, leading to a higher RMR.

2. Age

RMR usually decreases with age due to a decline in lean muscle mass and changes in hormone levels. These age-related changes reduce the metabolic rate over time.

3.Gender  

Biological differences between genders affect RMR. Men generally have a higher RMR than women because of greater muscle mass and metabolic differences related to hormones.

4. Genetics

Genetics influence your metabolic rate and RMR. Variations in metabolic efficiency and energy expenditure are partly due to inherited genetic factors.

5. Hormonal Regulation and cortisol play a role in regulating metabolism and can affect RMR. Changes or imbalances in these hormones can impact the metabolic rate.

6. Dietary Composition 

The makeup of your diet, especially the balance of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats, affects RMR. Protein, for instance, requires more energy for digestion and metabolism compared to other macronutrients, which can increase RMR.

7. Physical Activity

Although RMR measures energy expenditure at rest, regular exercise can influence RMR by increasing muscle mass and metabolic rate. Exercise boosts overall energy expenditure, contributing to a higher RMR.

8. Body Size and Weight 

Larger individuals typically have a higher RMR because they require more energy to maintain their bodily functions. Body size and weight are directly related to metabolic rate and energy needs.

9. Environmental Factors

External conditions, such as extreme temperatures, can affect RMR as the body works to maintain its internal temperature. Both cold and hot environments can influence metabolic processes and energy expenditure at rest.

Title : 7 Reasons Women Choose Natural Cycles for Birth Control Ten years ago, a groundbreaking event unfolded with the launch of Natural Cycles, marking the world’s first certified birth control app in Sweden. In 2018, it received FDA clearance as a valid contraceptive method. Since then, it has emerged as a popular choice among women in the United States who prefer hormone-free birth control, as per user testimonials. With over 3 million users worldwide today, the question arises: what makes this Swedish birth control app so highly acclaimed?

Natural Cycles is certified as a medical device.

Natural Cycles stands out among numerous period and fertility tracking apps by being the sole one recognized as a regulated medical device in multiple regions, including the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore. Its noteworthy FDA clearance aligns with the Class II product requirements, signifying its compliance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s standards. Moreover, the app holds regulatory clearances in the EU and UK and is marked as a Class IIb medical device with a CE marking.

The app’s certifications validate its suitability for birth control and attest to its thorough review by regulatory authorities. Notably, Natural Cycles is the sole app certified for use as a contraceptive method. Furthermore, its certifications extend beyond medical device approval, encompassing data protection compliance with the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation and adherence to the FDA’s cybersecurity requirements.

Setting it apart from other apps, Natural Cycles is available in select clinics and pharmacies, providing accessibility akin to various contraceptive methods typically found at healthcare providers’ offices. Additionally, users can conveniently download Natural Cycles from app stores worldwide.

It relies on the science of your menstrual cycle.

Natural Cycles is a birth control app that uses advanced technology but relies on basic biology. Instead of suppressing natural hormonal changes every day, it works by identifying your fertile days in the menstrual cycle to avoid unprotected sex during that time. It detects the fertile window by tracking body temperature, which slightly increases after ovulation. For accurate results, users need to consistently measure their temperature every morning at the same time.

The app also asks users to input period data and, optionally, ovulation test results. This information helps the app’s algorithm learn and understand your cycle pattern faster.

Once the app understands your cycle using temperature and cycle details, it predicts your fertility window. It marks “Red Days” (when you’re likely fertile and need protection) and “Green Days” (when pregnancy is less likely). It’s essential to note that the app might require a few cycles to predict fertility more accurately.

It doesn’t contain hormones, which means it doesn’t come with associated side effects.

Hormonal birth control methods like the pill or IUD contain artificial estrogen and/or progesterone. These synthetic hormones often lead to side effects such as headaches, breast tenderness, mood swings, and reduced sex drive. Many individuals have switched to Natural Cycles due to experiencing side effects from their previous methods, as per internal company data.

Natural Cycles emerged when women were seeking better options for birth control. Nowadays, people desire methods that suit them without enduring side effects from long-standing contraceptive methods. Natural Cycles provides a hormone-free choice for those averse to hormonal or invasive contraceptives. It’s known for being free from side effects and, currently, is covered by US insurance, allowing users to get reimbursed for their NC° subscription. You can find out more about how to get your NC° subscription reimbursed.

It can also be used to help plan for pregnancy.

Natural Cycles, the first FDA-cleared birth control app, was created by co-founder Elina Berglund with family planning in mind. After removing a hormonal implant, Elina sought a hormone-free option that effectively prevented pregnancy until she was ready to conceive. Faced with a lack of suitable choices, drawing from her background as a physicist at the European Organization for Nuclear Research, she developed Natural Cycles over a year, leveraging data analysis and coding skills to craft the NC° algorithm.

One of the remarkable features of the app is its dual purpose: utilizing the same scientific principles for both preventing and planning pregnancy. Users can easily switch to NC° Plan Pregnancy when they’re ready. Studies indicate that women using Natural Cycles typically conceive within three cycles on average, while without such assistance, about 9 out of 10 women conceive naturally within the first year of trying.

It now works with the Apple Watch. Natural Cycles users previously measured temperature using a basal thermometer or the Oura Ring, a smart ring with temperature sensors. The app has now introduced compatibility with the Apple Watch, providing another option for users worldwide.

To measure using the Apple Watch, simply wear it on your wrist while sleeping. Throughout the night, it collects your temperature data, which is then analyzed by the Natural Cycles algorithm. Upon waking up, check the app for your fertility status of the day. Find out more about how the Apple Watch functions with Natural Cycles.

For those who prefer not to wear a measuring device overnight, you can still measure in the morning using a basal thermometer. Get a basal thermometer for free with an annual subscription.

When used perfectly, it can be up to 98% effective.

When choosing birth control, people often prioritize reliability. Effectiveness can be influenced by how a method functions and the user’s level of commitment. Long-acting methods like the IUD and birth control implant are over 99% effective, as they don’t require daily attention once inserted.

Methods such as the pill have slightly lower effectiveness rates due to the need for daily adherence. Missing a pill or taking it at the wrong time reflects typical use, while consistent daily intake signifies perfect use. The pill is 93% effective with typical use and over 99% effective with perfect use.

Similarly, Natural Cycles demonstrates 93% effectiveness with typical use and rises to 98% when used perfectly. Achieving perfect use with Natural Cycles involves abstaining from sex or using protection during the Red Days marked by the app.

Your data is always kept secure and protected.

Natural Cycles prioritizes data privacy and employs robust measures like encryption and pseudonymization to safeguard your information. Unlike numerous apps, it ensures that your data will never be sold. Being a European company, it adheres to GDPR regulations, benefiting users worldwide.

Users receive access to NC° Secure, an extensive privacy protection program that ensures their safety and data security. Additionally, as an FDA-cleared medical device, Natural Cycles must meet the FDA’s cybersecurity standards.
