Yup. Works. I'd suggest looking at the types, which are basically schedules:

I'd also suggest looking into some charts that help you decide how much you can lose based on your height/weight/age/sex.

Trial, error, stick to a schedule and it works; yes.
There are a lot of reports of simple.life being a scam app. Charging people more than they agreed on and not honoring requests to cancel, being auto-subscribed to other 'offers', and the app not providing the info they claim it does. I filled out their questionnaire but did a bit of digging and stopped before giving them any payment. They still have my info though...
