The magic of Lark Chat is its simplicity. No need for extra activity trackers or complex calorie counting apps. Just open the app and Lark's there, whenever you need her, easily accessible via your iPhone or Apple Watch. Simply tell Lark what you ate, either via text or voice dictation, and your personal nutritionist will respond with tips and tricks for a trimmer you within two seconds. In addition to prompting better nutrition choices, Lark Chat automatically monitors your steps, activity and sleep by harnessing the power of the motion sensors already built into your phone, keeping everything you need to monitor your fitness and stick to your goals in one place.

"We think Apple Watch and Lark Chat will transform the way people lose weight and stay fit," said Julia Hu, Lark Technologies, Inc. CEO and founder. "We know it's tough to stick to a diet, and even harder to do it alone. With Lark, you have your diet buddy with you around the clock to cheer you on and help you through the tough spots."

"I'm proud of the way the Lark Chat App for Apple Watch turns into a personal nutritionist and trainer who you talk to on your wrist or text within the app," continues Hu. "Instead of just showing you static charts and graphs of your steps or weekly calorie intake, Lark is there to engage and encourage you with personalized coaching. She responds to your needs in 2 seconds flat, even at 2 a.m. on a Saturday."

Whether you're using Lark Chat with your Apple Watch and iPhone, or just your iPhone, texting with Lark is as easy as texting a friend. She keeps you motivated and less likely to wander off your weight loss path than other diet plans or apps. Plus, the more you interact with Lark, the more personalized her coaching and advice becomes. For example:

• Lark knows dieting is tough, so she does all the heavy lifting. Tell her you had sliced ham, two hard boiled eggs and a small orange for breakfast, and she'll track your lean protein intake, keep tabs on your added sugar, and congratulate you on getting in a serving of fresh fruit – all just by telling her what you eat.
• Lark tracks your bedtime and when you wake up in the morning automatically. On days when you get less sleep, she helps you stay energized by nudging you to walk more in the sun. She'll keep you moving towards your weight loss or fitness goals by meeting you where you are.
• Lark plays well with others. She's the perfect complement to popular nutrition programs or diets and will give you different advice whether you're Paleo or vegan, and coach you after that afternoon bike ride you took with Strava. In fact, with your permission, she can monitor the data from more than 50 other apps by coaching on your health data in Apple HealthKit.

Designed with behavior change experts from Harvard and Stanford, pro-sports coaches, celebrity nutritionists and doctors, Lark knows her stuff. She'll offer up coaching and recommendations customized to your individual goals and lifestyle. With a simple, enjoyable chat-based interface, Lark Chat is the most powerful, easy-to-use fitness and weight-loss app available. In fact, a study showed that when you chat with Lark for just three minutes a day, you're 23 percent more active than you were and likely to meet your fitness goals. 

If you're ready to get started on the path to a fitter, trimmer you, check out Lark Fit Chat today. The app is available for FREE in the App Store for iPhone 5s or above, and in the App Store for Watch for Apple Watch.
