The 90-Day Challenge

When I accepted Calove's 90-day transformation challenge, I was skeptical. As a software engineer in Tokyo, I had tried numerous health apps and fitness programs, all promising dramatic results in short timeframes. None had delivered.

What convinced me to try Calove was its different approach. It didn't promise miracle results without effort. Instead, it offered a precisely calculated path based on science, with daily support to make that path achievable.

The First 30 Days: Foundation

Calove divided my 90-day journey into three distinct phases. The first 30 days focused entirely on building foundational habits, not on rapid weight loss. This approach was surprising but sensible.

During this phase, I learned to prepare simple, nutritious meals that worked with my busy schedule. I established a consistent sleep routine for the first time in years. I began short daily movement practices that could fit into my work breaks. The app emphasized consistency over intensity, and it worked—I completed 98% of my daily tasks.

Days 31-60: Intensification

Once my foundation was solid, Calove gradually increased the challenge. My workouts became more structured and intense. My nutrition plan became more refined, with specific macronutrient targets. The app introduced interval training and recovery protocols optimized for my body's responses.

What impressed me was how the intensification felt natural rather than jarring. Because of the strong habits built in the first phase, I was able to handle the increased demands without feeling overwhelmed. I was already seeing significant changes in my body composition, having lost 8kg by day 60.

Days 61-90: Integration

The final phase focused on integrating everything I'd learned into a sustainable lifestyle. Calove helped me develop strategies for maintaining my habits during work crises, social events, and travel. It taught me how to make good decisions independently rather than relying solely on the app's guidance.

This phase also included experimenting with different workout styles and nutrition approaches to discover what I genuinely enjoyed, not just what produced results. By making health enjoyable, Calove ensured I would continue long after the 90 days ended.

Beyond Physical Transformation

By day 90, I had lost 18kg and drastically improved my fitness markers. But the physical change was just one aspect of my transformation. My productivity at work improved due to better energy management. My chronic stress decreased significantly. Even my relationships improved as I became more present and energetic.

Six months later, I've maintained my results and continued to improve. What began as a 90-day challenge has become a permanent upgrade to my quality of life.
