I keep seeing before and after shots after his 90 day programme and they are fantastic...anyone done it and what basically is it in a nutshell?

I realise I'm resurrecting a zombie thread but I'm interested in finding out how anyone has got on with this!
I've just signed up and now feeling a sense of dread about what awful food choices are coming my way!
I hate bananas and nuts in food (not allergic just hate them), oats are a no no, protein powder made into anything makes me feel horrible... there was no option to convey any of this information in the questionnaire though, im doubting the personalised aspect of it somewhat!
Anyway, it's only £150 if it doesn't work out, not the end of the world, but I think I'd like some words of reassurance that it's manageable Grin

Tempted, but it is a lot of money

CakeNinja · 08/05/2017 19:01

I've paid as 3 installments of £50, which is marginally more than I was paying for one personal training session, so for me it's relatively cheap!!

Cakeninja when are you starting? We're currently prepping to start Monday. I am ridiculously fussy. Luckily i have a nutribullet that has blended everything i hate!

Richie Howey on fb is all you need for long term sustainability.
You get all the help and support you need.
You don't even feel you are on a diet.
Record everything you eat on mfp. There's no such thing as 'free food' everything has calories.
Weight loss = calories in v calories out
Don't eat too low. You will lose weight and you will feel great for a while
Then life will kick in
You won't be able to sustain it. You'll start to feel tired and the binges and cravings won't leave you alone
You'll lose your💩And then it will pile on quicker than you took it off because your very low calorie diet will have affected your metabolism
And you'll have metabolic adaptation

Hell tell you how to increase your burn rate, so you only have to eat 500 cals less a day to lose a pound of fat a week.
Team RH fitness is littered with failed dieting stories from sw, ww, alizonne, LL , that juice one...people who've spent shed loads of money and are now bigger than ever.

Richie and Rachel will go the whole nine yards to help you.

£15 enrolment and £3-50a month gets you into the online support group where the advice is first class.

Somehow his page flashed up on my fb . I'm so glad it did. I've lost pounds slowly but I keeping them off and I'm not starving ...that's the thing.

None of the people who started this plan and said how they were doing for the first and second cycle seem to have noted how they were by the end? Did anyone actually finish it? Were you just not pleased with the results?
I'm very tempted, but this thread is putting me off!

SGWeen · 03/09/2017 17:45

DiDiddlyIDi and Getredonyou did you finish the plan and how did Cycle3 go?

Another vote here for the alternative version to the body coach, freedom diet coach. Having researched the BC, I just didn't think I'd get along with all the food prep, and the HIIT stuff didn't appeal either. I like to go to exercise classes and to walk for exercise, which didn't seem to fit in with the BC plan. I've found the Freedom one to be genuinely personalised, and I always get a quick email response from the same person, which I like. I've completed the whole plan and am now using the maintenance plan to help me keep to my goal weight.

I'd be interested to hear from people who have completed all 3 cycles of BC too SGWeen

I enrolled and started this - waste of money and time. With a full time job, I simply refuse to spend 60- 80% of my life planning meals, shopping for meals and cooking. Which is what Joe Wicks appears to do -exercise and cook all day long. Which is fine because that’s his business, but not mine. His plan is totally a “one size fits all” type of online health coaching -one of literally thousands you can find. There is absolutely nothing personalised, and none of us are at the “average”, we are unique -and mass coaching just addresses an average. There is no “one on one” coaching, and the “before and after pictures” we are asked to send, serve as the company’s marketing tools. Joe Wicks has cleverly “scaled up” via social media - but frankly there is absolutely nothing new or unique: you will even find online “courses” where you answer 5 questions and supposedly, they can immediately determine your metabolic type and sell you a diet plan. Really? That’s a whole science actually. There is a generalised illiteracy concerning biochemistry and nutrition - it is not taught at school, so most of us are truly ignorant. Eat fresh and not processed foods, avoid too many sugars and carbs, eat good fats and protein - and importantly, keep fit/exercise to create a bit of a calorie deficit to shift weight. That’s it. The rest is clever marketing and we generally fall for it because it creates the desire and “hope” of quickly acquiring these exquisitive bodies. Don’t pay anything - read about the basics of nutrition and perservere -it takes time and effort. For the record, from long personal experience (and I am 47kg so rather lean): it’s probably 70% about the right nutrition and 30% exercise, but you need both and not over 90 days -but over your lifetime. Exercise and good nutrition need to be lifelong habits, else after 90 days you start eating the wrong things and stop exercising and naturally the weight piles back up.

There’s a lady on instagram that has done the the body coach three times in 2016 who’s transformation was amazing lost around 8stone on the plan.
In 2017 she did many different online planes. She’s now doing her fourth round of the body coach and apparently they’ve changed it. In April last year she had the excess skin removed. She’s managed to keep the same dress size for a year something she’s never done before. Such an amazing inspiration with I can and I will attitude.
