Anyone done joe wicks ?

[Glamorousglitter]

Thinking of it but a bit scared of the food prep needed ? Anyone with kids and working ft managed to incorporate it into their lives and found it successful ?

[JamieFrasersArse]

Tempting but he'd have to keep his mouth shut as I can't bear to listen to his voice!

[Hobbes8]

I've done some of his YouTube work outs and they're pretty good and you can get a decent workout in 20 minutes. I've bought his first book and there's some nice recipes in there. I've tried low carb and found it a bit restrictive, so it's nice to think I can have carbs if I work out first.

I signed up in January. Did phase one. Lost jack shit. Quite a bit of processed food unfortunately and a tonne of prep is required. It took most of my Sunday which is shit when you have kids.

Don't pay for it - total waste of money. I've started using the 'figure magician' book and have had much more success

[RJnomore1]

I do his recipes when I'm high protein and lifting a lot of weights but not for weight loss. Very tasty and easy enough, most are easily done in 15 minutes.

I want to make a joke about this thread title

[RJnomore1]

Arf!

[SashaFiercesMummyFromHell]

I've still doing him!

The food prep itself is pretty simple but the ingredients are also pretty pricey- having said this, a typical curry/canneloni recipe makes enough for 6 portions easily. Ideal for freezing!

Never so much wanted another takeaway as his recipes are so tasty and I lost a good stone in weight after 2 months! Definitely recommend the red and blue books.

I'm

[Pinkvici22]

I’ve just started doing him

Yes it’s a lot of prep, but I definitely feel better after nearly 2 weeks. I work FT (and long hours including extra work at home) in a very demanding job. I’ve spent the last 2 Sunday’s cooking (get DC involved), and have been getting up at 5.30am to do the HIIT workouts 3 times a week then squeezing in 1/2 workouts at the weekend. I don’t have a very supportive OH either, so it is doable!

[Glamorousglitter]

I ve signed up and started too. Recipes are very tasty. They re different to what s in the book - I m liking the workouts but they feel very short (I m used to running for40 mins or doing a class for 40-60 mins!) love that I can do it at home tho. Haven’t missed chocolate (yet) and even managed to stay booze free which I plan to for at least the first month but will need a cheat day as have a friends birthday next month.

[Pinkvici22]

Well done Fab - let me know how you’re getting on.

I missed lunch today and ended up having a protein flapjack (shop bought not on Plan), and I do have a couple of boozy nights out in November but I think if I can maintain it 90% of the time and keep up the exercise,that should be ok!

[Lookatmenow]

if you're excercising in the morning, can you have a carb rich meal in teh evening or does it have to be after the workout?

[cakeisnotaproperbreakfast]

I think it’s meant to be within 1-2 hours after exercise

[Gwenhwyfar]

As he's a man, aren't his meals based on men's needs? Or am I being too simplistic here?

[baublesnbubbles]

No plan is per your weight height and sex

[Gwenhwyfar]

baubles - so you adapt the recipes? I haven't seen his TV programme, only his book.

[baublesnbubbles]

I signed up to his SSS plan, did it until Christmas then stopped then restarted the last bit again. Then did a month maintain plan - now just doing my fitness pal. Found it super but extremely time consuming. All the meal planning was tricky and I was some
Days eating kilos of green veg 🤢🤐 not that I didn't like it but was a lot sometimes. Worth it, didn't loose heaps of weight but changed body shape and became a lot fitter. It s very consuming and a huge commitment especially with a family and work. Not for the faint hearted

[Gwenhwyfar]

Definitely not for me then.
