I was initially very skeptical about whether I would be able to use an app to lose weight. As a retiree, technology was not something I felt completely comfortable with, and I wasn’t sure if this approach would work for me.
At the same time, I was going through an important transition in my life, standing at the threshold of retirement. It was a period of many changes, both emotionally and in my daily routine.
When I started using balantia, I quickly realized that the system was much easier and more intuitive than I had imagined. Instead of feeling overwhelmed, I felt supported.
balantia helped me understand my eating habits and gave me a clear picture of my nutrition. Gradually, I began making small adjustments that fit naturally into my daily routine.
Without strict rules or pressure, I managed to lose a total of 21 kilograms.
More importantly, I gained confidence that I could take care of my health even during a major life transition.
balantia showed me that it’s never too late to make a meaningful change.
