Phil
Tried for years to lose weight with this second nature I feel supported and I’ve lost 11lb which has inspired me
Very disappointed no one to talk to
No one to talk too to discuss problems
Always there
It’s great that Second Nature is always there to connect to and see how others are doing - a ready source of motivation
Not perfect
The app seems to stop syncing frequently with Apple Health to record steps. Links within the App to YouTube videos also don’t work sometimes. Good in principle but frustrating when it doesn’t sync. When the sync is not working even entering manual records for steps gets over written with incorrect data. Good when it’s working as it does have useful info so hopefully the bugs will be sorted out.
Been real good &
Steps wouldn’t sync after latest DAILY updates
Quality Weight loss programme
All that is needed to lose weight plus weightloss pill is brilliant at curbing thoughts about food and need to overeat It is expensive though but worth it for the quality care provided
Looks helpful, but isn’t
I was referred to this programme through the NHS, but unfortunately it hasn’t been helpful at all. The app mainly consists of articles and reminders to log your weight. There is very little personalised support, and it often feels like you’re expected to keep logging your weight just to stay on the programme. I joined because I genuinely needed help to lose weight and build healthier habits, but I didn’t feel supported. If you’re looking for real guidance, coaching or meaningful interaction, this programme is likely to be disappointing. For me, it was a waste of time.
Weight loss journey
Have started eating more healthily and doing more exercise Hardly eat any bread or potatoes and feel much better for it xx
I was hopeful about this but disappointed so far
I’m sure this is useful for people who have always eaten lots of processed food and fry ups but if not, it’s both frustrating and not very useful. The advice is pretty shallow and predictable. I’m sure there is a reason the NHS is paying for this but at the moment I’m not sure what that is. Some nice recipes though.
Early days but ok. 1 glaring miss…
App itself seems well thought through other than, weirdly, the app only reads weight measurements from apple health instead of read and write. So you can pair your scales to the app and it will record your weight but it won’t update apple health. But you can update Apple health with a weight measurement and the app will update from Apple health. So the most efficient way for me to record my weight in one place is to unpair my scales and record it through Health manually 🤷🏾🤦🏽♂️. Bit of a waste of set of smart scales really…
Second Nature
I am very impressed with the content of the online Second Nature. It has been thoroughly researched and beautifully put together. For the first time in years I have lost weight , my feet and ankles are not so swollen and tingling has disappeared. Well done

Too complicated to navigate
Mr
Since I joined early January, it has helped me lose 4.8kg of weight, my waistline is completely gone. All due to second Nature and its marvellous health coaches, plus the vibrant different communities, that motivate you. I will definitely recommend anyone to SN, which i have already.
They charge for a free trial
They take the money out of your account but refund if you cancel during your free trial. Not sure how that constitutes a “free trial”.
From Phil Garnham York
Hi, I have yet lower my weight but I am progressing on other issues. Steps are becoming impressive Habits are being formed for sleep and the total hours have improved. Drinking water is becoming regular and I think about hydration automatically now. Exercise and meditation is still difficult. Other habits like eating are still work in progress.
Very helpful
This program has been so insightful, supportive and informative, I recommend it for anyone looking to learn more about living healthy
Download app? Excuse me?
It’s a set of scales… why on earth do I NEED an app, an account, access to my details, my blood, my first borns soul to use them and change the settings? Get a grip. Can’t even login anonymously and change the settings then delete the stupid app; it just says there’s no account with this email — yea well done, I’m literally trying to make one. Good job I got these for free from a relative… who got them from her doctor for a medical issue… they too found them infuriating, hence why I now have some scales that read in pounds only, because reasons? I’m never going to look at this again, even if I get a developer response. If you’re the developer and I’m missing an obvious point here then that’s a product issue, not a consumer one; you should probability address that.
Works but keep at it
I was referred to SN by my Dr as I had been diagnosed as pre diabetic. I am not now following the weight loss and eating better programme.
Not a good start
The questions they ask to evaluate my problem were largely obscured on the screen. I pressed few answers on what I could see...on screen three or four it seemed to freeze. I’ll have another go later but if it doesn’t perform Noom here we come.
Great, easy to use and it’s already WORKING for me!!!
After a pre-diabetic blood result I opted to use Second Nature to support the changes I want to make to get back in a healthy range. First, it’s really easy and quick to use. Short check-in every day (when I can) to read or listen to solid advice backed by medical science and nutritional expertise. With only small changes, without any whiff of awful grey, drab diets. I have a nutritionist on hand to answer any questions and get encouragement - so crucial for staying the course. You have to be open to it though, and engage. So many of us are in the same boat and just want to be healthier but we could never do it ‘alone’. I received a set of Bluetooth scales that automatically updates my weight. Been on Second Nature programme for 4 weeks and so far lost about a pound or two a week with literally NO effort other than to listen to advice and give it a go. Well done to the small but mighty team at Second Nature ⭐️⚡️🐝💛
Fake app
App don’t work you need a account which you cannot set up scale tells you to down load app with doesn’t let you make an account only lets you log in
App has turned into a disaster
Programme itself was great and worked, still stick to it... but the app... my god whatever they are after doing it frustrates me so much I’m after cancelling my membership.. it logs me out every time I go back into app... totally not practical. Contacted tech support.. told to reinstall.. didn’t work.. contacted again and told me they are aware of technical issue and will resolve it as soon as possible.. there has been another update this morning.. still the same issue, I was on sustain and have just got sick of having to log back in every time I open app so I cancelled.. pity.
Great educational tool
This programme of habit change was initially difficult, particularly around planning, preparing and cooking some of the meals. However, once I got into it I found it easy. I was able to adapt recipes with ingredients I had and not worry if I was missing a herb or particular ingredient. The programme has taught me so much about different ways to look after yourself physically and mentally. The changing of your habits is the prize, any weight loss is a bonus. I would highly recommend this programme.
Feels like AI Trash
Signed up and regretted it absolutely useless can find everything online or simple use AI like they seem to be using.
Great and holistic program
I was diagnosed as pre- diabetic 2 years ago and recommended this program by my GP. Whilst I did not follow it 100%- I actually did not wish to lose weight, although I did, so had to balance my intake of carbs a bit. However, it drastically changed my eating habits re sweet things etc, so I am now in the "green zone" as far as the pre-diabetes is concerned. No mire craving that afternoon biscuit ...Highly recommended!
NHS think again about supporting this app.
Offered this through the NHS. Four weeks in and I’ve now deleted it. No one chatting in the group at all, most of the group not even sharing their weight journey, no health coach to speak to. I’ve lost weight but this had nothing to do with the app. I can track my weight and steps through Apple Health. I’m really appalled that the NHS is spending MY tax money on this rubbish.
Second Nature Supportive
The Second Nature program and app are are great way to feel supported and to reach your goals. It provides a broad range of tools to create habits, reduce weight and all whilst feeling you are being supported. Well worth getting involved with Second Nature.

Awful App. Nightmare setting up. Pain to try and access App.
Very good but frustrating
I would have given 5 stars but for the irritating connection between Apple health and the tracking function. The steps work OK but OMIG the sleep tracker drives me mad! It double counts my sleep hours no matter what I do. I ve tried disconnecting sleep sync, erasing errors, adding manually but whatever I do it immediately reinstates weeks of double counting. I know it’s only one part but it’s ruining my experience

Don’t really have a weight issue/eating problem? Just wondering how this will work for me?
Review of Second Nature
Superb course - well constructed and professionally delivered by experienced health and nutrition experts
Great concept but ...
The “course” SN offers seems well prepared and all is well organized if you enroll. You follow 12 weeks day by day getting rid of bad habits and learning new good habits, while losing weight. All supervised by a ‘trainer’. So far so good. However, I had to cancel my participation as others did for various reasons. I got ill and could not commit. After cancellation I got a confirmation that it would be dealt with but the money, 40€/month kept being taken out of my account. A second cancellation, six month later - the actual period I signed up for ended four month before - did not yield any success either. I had to order the bank to stop the payments or I would still pay to this day. So unfortunately this turned out to be a scam. Be sure that you cancel the direct debit on time! They won’t. Many other people seem to have had the same experience as per the chatroom contributions.
