\nThe diet industry is broken. Lift is going to fix this.
\nEverything people think they know about diet is contradicted somewhere else. What diets work? What does it even mean for a diet to work? Weight loss? Long term health? Enjoyment?
\nWe\u2019re working with researchers at UC Berkeley to answer every question possible in the name of science. More importantly, this is in the name of helping you be the healthy, high energy genius you were meant to be.

\nStarting January 1st, we will make ten different 4-week diet plans available on Lift. The diets will cover all popular diet advice and then we\u2019ll measure the results, along with our academic partners, in order to look at weight loss, difficultly, enjoyability, and effects on happiness and energy.
