The Turtle way
The diet industry sells sprints.
Health is a long walk.
Every crash diet ends the same way: rebound, guilt, repeat. Turtle Method is built on the opposite idea — small, kind, consistent changes that compound. It's why our shell carries an infinity symbol. Not 12 weeks. For life.
Built around your body
Your cycle, your sleep, and conditions like PCOS change what your body needs. Your plan moves with you — not against you.
Slow beats crash
Gentle targets and auto-adjusting macros designed to protect your health — and your strength — while the weight comes off. Turtle pace wins.
What's inside
Everything, in one place.
One app instead of five — food, cycle, sleep, mindset and movement, working together.
Cycle tracking
Log your cycle alongside food, sleep and mood — and understand how it changes your week, instead of fighting it.
Sleep support
Sleep shapes hunger, cravings and energy. Track it and get guidance that actually fits the night you had.
PCOS & hormone support
Specialised guidance for PCOS and hormonal conditions, built into your plan — not bolted on.
Smart food diary
Log meals in seconds with barcode scanning and UK supermarket foods. Macros set for you and auto-adjusted as you go.
Daily coaching & podcasts
Weekly check-ins, the 14-day masterclass, and a daily podcast — 340+ episodes of mindset coaching and counting.
Workout library
Strength-first home and gym workouts that protect your muscle while you lose fat — whatever kit you've got.
LeanShield™ inside
Lose the weight.
Keep the strength.
Lose weight too fast — with too little protein or strength work — and up to 40% of what you lose can be lean mass, muscle included. Most apps only count the scale going down. Ours watches what the weight is made of.
LeanShield™ is our patent-pending muscle-protection score, developed by our parent company ParrotPal. It reads your logging, protein and training, scores your last 7 days from 1–100, and nudges you before the loss happens — so the weight you lose is fat, not strength.

"I have been trying to lose weight on and off for years, as soon as I hit my 40s I could gain weight just by looking at a cake… My hormones were playing havoc with perimenopause…"
"As a trainee clinical psychologist I am always a bit cautious with weight loss apps / programmes. I can say that this app is totally different to any I have used before. It is completely evidence based…"
"It really helped my mindset more than anything, helped me to get back into my old healthy habits and create new ones… You can also track stuff like your menstrual cycle etc. all in one place instead of separate apps for everything."
"After so many years of being unkind to myself, the last 14 days have shown me a way to enjoy life, time with friends, holidays etc without the underlying guilt and need to pay for my over indulgence at a later date."
"When you think you have had a rubbish day and you add 3 wins for the day it makes you realise you can do it. This has helped so much with not only my food planning but also my mental health."
"Turtle method is slow, and focuses on changing your mindset so there is no guilt, no starving yourself… I found when I remove guilt I don't feel the need to stuff my face… most importantly I feel in control of my choices."
