Have You Seen The Commercials for MyMixify.com?


 I have been seeing the commercials for MyMixify.com all over the place the last few days.  So I couldn't help but go check it out.   Here is how they explain it on the site.
 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


"A new project from America’s beverage companies that’s all about making balance easier. Because even if your body is feeling less like a temple and more like— say, a truck stop—balancing the calories that you eat and drink with the calories you burn is key to finding the right mix to keep you feeling like the majestic creature that you are."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


It is a nice idea but it falls flat if you ask me.   They make it sound like "they" are going to give you tools and tips, I assume that means you will be able to do stuff on the site.   When it only has links to other peoples tools, like ChooseMyPlate.gov and so on.  I was expecting an app or something that was made by them. And, an ask the expert section.

The "ask the expert" area only has a hand-full of questions asked and the FAQs they mention on the home page is no where to be found. However, that could change as times goes on, its a new site. You would think with all the commercials they have had on TV there would be a lot of visitors asking questions already.  

You can also follow them on the social sites Facebook. Twitter, Instagram, and tumblr for daily "balance inspiration" as they put it, I have now followed them on any of these sites so I don't know what it on there but I am guessing a lot of memes with motivating sayings and such.


With all the options out there I don't see this site being any better (or even equal to) the other "get healthy" sites on the internet.   I applaud the soda companies trying but they can do better.  I would like to see them try to make soda better for you.   I know it will never be healthy, but they could cut back on the sugar or use a better form of sugar (won't go into details here, you know what I mean), etc.....      


 Do you use a website or app to help you keep track of your diet and/or exercise?  I would love to know which one you like, and which ones you don't like.
