Jack Baty has successfully shed over 34 pounds following his triple cardiac bypass surgery, a journey that has revitalized his health and energy levels. After years of battling weight gain, fatigue, and health issues, Baty discovered a sustainable approach to weight loss through the Simple App, which emphasizes gradual lifestyle changes rather than restrictive diets.
For many, the onset of a new year triggers a desire for dramatic transformations, often leading to extreme diets or intensive workout regimens. In contrast, Baty adopted a more manageable strategy that ultimately proved successful. “My energy has returned to a level that I never expected to see again, and the difference in my appearance and energy have had a very positive effect on both my physical health and my outlook on life,” he shared.
Baty’s struggle with weight began approximately 20 years ago when he was diagnosed with diabetes and obesity. His health continued to decline over the years, culminating in his surgery just over three years ago. While he initially lost around 70 pounds through cardiac rehabilitation, his progress stagnated at approximately 210 pounds. “I hit the plateau at around 210, and just couldn’t get past it,” Baty explained.
The breakthrough came when he began using the Simple App, a clinically supported digital health tool that focuses on encouraging sustainable behavioral changes. After completing an initial questionnaire, the app generated a personalized plan that easily integrated into his daily routine, assisting him in improving his nutrition and activity levels. “I remember taking a chance and signing up for the discounted trial period,” Baty noted. “I was hopeful that this extra boost could help me continue my march toward a healthier weight, but had doubts.”
According to the app’s records, Baty has logged in for more than 180 consecutive days while losing a total of 34.4 pounds. His transformation did not go unnoticed by friends and family. “We went to a friend’s memorial service and people who hadn’t seen me for a while were amazed by my physical transformation,” he remarked.
The Simple App provides several features, including easy meal tracking via text, voice recording, or photographs, intermittent fasting monitoring, and custom exercise programs ranging from walking and yoga to high-intensity interval training (HIIT). The app also introduces Avo, an AI-powered coach designed to answer questions about nutrition, fitness, and motivation in an accessible manner. More recently, Simple launched Blinky, an emotional support tool aimed at helping users stay focused on their goals in a relatable way.
Baty’s health improvements extend beyond weight loss. “I’m sleeping better than ever and even playing ping-pong at the local rec centre three days a week,” he said. “For the first time in far too long, I am no longer listed as ‘obese’ for my height. In fact, the doctor’s chart shows me at the upper range of ‘normal weight’ for the first time.”
The Simple App has gained significant recognition, helping users collectively lose over 18 million pounds globally. It has been awarded Best Virtual Health Coach for 2025 and maintains a 4.7 rating on the App Store, with more than 21 million downloads. The app is currently promoting a 60% discount on weight loss plans, along with a two-for-one subscription offer, allowing users to share premium access.
Baty appreciates the broad benefits he has experienced. “More energy, increased self-esteem, better flexibility and a sense of accomplishment all came with the Simple app-guided eating and exercise tips,” he stated. “I am pleased with where I am and look forward to continuing on this path.”
Alternative platforms like Noom and MyFitnessPal also offer weight loss support, with Noom focusing on mindful eating and MyFitnessPal providing calorie tracking and nutritional monitoring. According to user feedback on Trustpilot, many find the Simple App motivating and effective. One user stated, “Having a regular check-in about what you ate and keeping a record of the pounds I am losing is very motivating.”
As Jack Baty continues on his transformative journey, his story serves as an inspiring example of how a balanced approach to health can yield profound results.
