Wonderful

A totally healthy approach to proper food intake without calorie or points counting. Learn to make healthier choices and have treats in moderation. No food is “good” or “bad”. It’s just nutrition education.
Horrible App That Encourages Disordered Eating
Thephoenixlights
I would never allow my child to use this app. Kids need to learn to listen to and trust their bodies, not obsess over an app that tells them which foods are good and bad and encourages body and food shame.
Irresponsible
A. C. 81
Children are born intuitive eaters. We steal that gift from them when we tell them which foods are good or green and bad or red. Foods such as avocado are nutrient rich and provide healthy fats and should not be limited or avoided if someone enjoys them. There is something called habituation and the more a child is exposed to a food- like cupcakes- the less they are going to want them. If you tell them a cupcake is bad or a red food, psychologically and biologically, the child is going to want that food even more, binge on that food when it’s available, and then feel guilty for eating it. This app is setting kids up for a lifetime of disordered eating behaviors, as well as increasing their risk of developing full blown eating disorders. Kids are more likely to develop an eating disorder than diabetes. Bodies come in all shapes and sizes and should be celebrated, not controlled. This app is irresponsible, dangerous and needs to be pulled.
Please do not use this

Please please please do not use this app or encourage your children to use this app. When seeing this app release, I was outraged. I paused, calmed down, opened my mind and tried the app for myself. My conclusion is this app is dangerous, propagates weight stigma, encourages a diet mentality and could lead to a poor relationship with food and food intake, disordered eating, or eating disorders. I am in eating disorder recovery, and I confidently say this app would have been devastating to me, had I found it when I was young or in my disorder. A healthy relationship with food can not be obtained, when you look at food as good or bad, healthy or unhealthy, green or red. Labeling food and controlling intake at this minute level is a breeding ground for a disordered relationship with food. Teach your kids that food is food, that their health is not directly related to their weight. Teach them to eat when they are hungry and stop when they are full. Teach them talk about what they are feeling, recognize emotion, and healthy outlets for emotions and movement. Show them that they don’t have to live by color categorized foods, a diet and exercise plan, a burn to earn mentality or a number on a scale. And for the love of all things good in this world do not teach them that raisins, Apple juice, pistachios, chocolate milk and peanut butter are food to be afraid of! (All red foods in the app - that according to my plan I was only allowed to have 5 of).
Good, but could use more

I honestly like this app and think it is a fun way to loose weight. I don’t have a problem with the red green yellow light system, like most people are having. Although, one thing I would suggest, or if you could explain it to me, is a video about how the portions are measured and which foods get which portion sizes. For example, I know somethings portions are a whole hand, some are a fist, and others can be just a finger. Although, I don’t know which food goes to which portion. Also, I think there should be a barcode scanner so you can scan some of the products you eat because I sometimes I eat a granola bar for breakfast and it’s more of a healthy one but the only one that comes up is an item that is red. I just feel like that would make everything a whole lot easier. I hope you can get back with me and respond, and I hope to see these fixes. If not totally fine.
Life changing!

Kurbo is just...wow! After being on it for just a few weeks, we already were seeing results. It is a safe,fun,healthy way of getting your health and weight under control. You don’t feel deprived, because you can eat everything in moderation. You have support 24/7 with a personal coach, motivational quotes and cool tips and recipes. The app is fun to use, easy and just brilliant. You’re child can still go to parties and have holidays without feeling depressed and deprived, and we felt motivated and excited from the moment we started! ( and it lasted!) WE LOVE KURBO! BTW, whoever is saying things such as ‘this can cause anorexia and eating disorders’ you obviously haven’t actually used Kurbo. The whole thing is done in a very safe way, and your eating is being monitored, so it is nearly impossible to develop an eating disorder on Kurbo.
I ❤️ Kurbo
