A calorie ledger · Honest math

Fat loss you can actually follow through on.

Two daily non-negotiables — hit your protein, hit your steps. If both are hit, you are not failing.

Radical Health builds Radical Fat Loss: a movement-first, drug-free system for iPhone & Apple Watch. Opinionated, not configurable — and built around the part that actually breaks: following through.

Most fat-loss apps don't fail because the science is wrong. They fail because they're too fiddly, too rigid, or too punishing to keep up. We fix the part that actually breaks: following through.

The whole system reduces to two daily non-negotiables. Hit your protein, hit your steps. Everything else is optional refinement — and any rough day can be a pause day, forgiven, not counted against you.

How it works

Four levers.
Two you touch daily.

Your targets calculate themselves from your body and your mode — opinionated, not configurable. You pull two levers every day; the other two run quietly underneath.

LEVER 01

Protein floor

The number that protects lean mass and keeps appetite calm. In a deficit, higher protein holds onto muscle and loses more fat — and it matters more, not less, as you get older.

DAILY NON-NEGOTIABLE
LEVER 02

Step floor

Everyday movement — walking, chores, fidgeting (NEAT) — is the engine of your deficit and the most variable part of what you burn. So we lead with steps, not punishing workouts, and add gentle strength work (no training to failure) to hold muscle.

DAILY NON-NEGOTIABLE
LEVER 03

Fasting window

A set eating window makes it easier to eat less — that's the whole point. Log a meal and the timer re-anchors itself; you never babysit it. We'll never tell you a shorter window burns more fat, because the evidence doesn't.

RUNS ITSELF · 16:8
LEVER 04

Deficit bank

Your deficit, banked over the week instead of judged each day — so one big dinner bends the plan instead of breaking it. The math is public, and it reconciles itself against your scale.

HONEST MATH
The app, day to day

A cockpit, not a chore.

Almost no typing. Age, weight, body-fat, steps and sleep flow in from Apple Health. You glance, you log, you get on with your day.

A clear daily cockpit

Four live rings — calories, protein, steps, fasting — your macros, and your deficit bank, in one glance.

A coach that does the work

Ask "what can I eat for dinner?" or "why am I plateauing?" It answers from your numbers — and can log the meal or start your fast, every action one tap to undo.

Five ways to log a meal

Photograph a plate, scan a barcode, speak it, or search 31,000+ foods offline. Every path ends at the same honest "Can I eat this?" check — no blind one-tap logging.

A fasting timer that runs itself

Log a meal and your eating window updates automatically. Default 16:8, fully adjustable.

Honest progress

It separates real fat loss from water-weight noise, tells you why the scale moved, and bends your goal date by the slowdown it already measures — instead of letting it quietly slip.

On your wrist & home screen

Apple Watch glance, widgets, and a Lock-Screen Live Activity for your fast. Gentle, never naggy.

Why it's different

Deliberately not
the app you're using.

Calorie counters are databases. Coaching apps sell psychology courses. Here's where we're built differently — on purpose.

Movement-first

Most apps are food diaries. We lead with a step floor — the biggest lever you actually control — paired with gentle strength work, no training to failure, to hold muscle.

vs. MyFitnessPal · Lose It!

Built around following through

Forgiving pause days, a streak you can't lose in one bad day, and a coach that reaches back with your own reason for starting — not "we miss you."

vs. course-heavy coaching apps

Honest by construction

No leaderboards, no slot-machine rewards, no fake countdowns, no confetti. Rewards are evidence of who you're becoming, never vanity. We even tell you when the scale is lying — and exactly why it moved.

vs. everyone

Made for the GLP-1 era

On a weight-loss injection, the risk flips to under-eating and losing muscle. A dedicated mode asks "are you eating enough?", guards your protein, and protects the muscle you'd otherwise lose — never nagging you to eat less. Read more on GLP-1 →

a mode no food-diary has

Opinionated, not configurable

Named modes encode one proven playbook — Active Cut, Maintenance, Travel, on-medication and more. You pick the situation; the app sets the targets. No fiddly dials to get wrong.

vs. build-your-own-macro apps
Six modes

Pick the situation.
It sets the targets.

No fiddly dials. Each mode encodes one phase of the playbook — your calorie, protein and step targets follow from your body and the mode you're in. When life changes, you switch modes; the numbers re-calculate themselves.

Active Cut

The steady default. You eat around what your body burns at today's weight and let walking open the deficit — sustainable, not starvation.

Calories · protein · steps

Phase 2 → goal

A time-limited, slightly deeper push to close the last gap to your goal weight, on a rhythm of five weeks on, one week at maintenance.

Deeper deficit · protein · steps

Maintenance

Hold your new weight without the rebound, with a gentle reverse-diet built in. For after a cut, or whenever you want a break from losing.

Hold weight · protein · steps

Recomp

Slowly trade fat for muscle near maintenance. For when you're already lean-ish and want composition to change more than the scale.

Slight deficit · high protein · lift

Travel / Chaos

A hectic or disrupted week. Drops the calorie target entirely and keeps only your protein and step floors, so a messy week bends instead of breaking.

Protein + step floors only

Failsafe

The minimum viable plan when everything's off — illness, overwhelm, total disruption. No calorie target; just hold the two floors and the line.

Protein + step floors only
The science — the honest version

Backed by research.
Honest about its limits.

Every pillar maps to real, graded evidence — kept only if it survived a deliberate attempt to refute it. We're just as clear about what it doesn't say.

Strong
Protein protects the muscle you'd lose. About 1.6 g/kg a day with a little strength work preserves lean mass in a deficit — resistance training prevents roughly 93.5% of the muscle you'd otherwise lose. In a deficit it preserves muscle; nothing builds it.
Strong
Steps beat punishing cardio. Everyday movement (NEAT) is the most variable part of what you burn — up to ~2,000 kcal/day between similar people — and every extra 1,000 daily steps tracks with about 15% lower all-cause mortality.
Strong
Sleep is the quiet lever. In short sleepers, ~1.2 more hours of sleep cut intake by about 270 kcal/day on its own — the one lever that subtracts calories without willpower.
Moderate
A post-meal walk smooths blood sugar. Better than sitting — and better than walking beforehand. The window is the first ~30 minutes after you eat.
Strong · acute
Food order helps, modestly. Protein and veg ~10 minutes before carbs can blunt the glucose peak by up to 44%. Real and worth doing — not a weight-loss guarantee.
What we'll never claim
  • That a shorter fasting window burns more fat. Window length isn't the variable.
  • That high protein builds muscle in a deficit. It preserves it.
  • That a weight-loss injection "wastes muscle." It doesn't — we just protect the muscle you'd otherwise lose.
  • That one glucose reading can judge a food. We wait for a pattern.
  • That AI photo macros are lab-grade. They're fast, honest estimates — never ground truth.
  • That "7,700 kcal ≈ 1 kg" is exact. A planning estimate, checked against your scale.

Every claim above is graded the way researchers grade it, and only kept if it survived a deliberate attempt to refute it. Note the honest part: the evidence backs the method — deficit, protein, lifting, steps, sleep — not a study of this app. We'd rather say that than pretend otherwise.

Built to respect you

No dark patterns.
Ever.

Private by construction

Everything is stored on your device. AI is optional, runs on your own key, and sends nothing until you say yes once — then it's fail-closed, and revocable anytime.

The math is public

No formula buried in fine print — every number shows its work, and your rate's full breakdown is always visible. We never imply an automatic price drop.

You're always in control

Nothing happens automatically — the coach never acts on its own. Every suggestion is yours to accept or decline. Rewards are evidence of who you're becoming: "someone who shows up."

Show up. Log.
Repeat.
