Went here because my goals changed from fitness competitions to getting ready for my wedding and I wanted to see what they offered that wasn't as disciplined as a competition diet. I was really excited to be here and Stephanie was nice and did a good job at presenting.
I decided not to move forward with this program for several reasons. There were some red flags for me, but I am analytical so I'm all for facts. I really wanted to learn to eat right not be put on a plan with their specific food. That's like what NutriSystem does. They don't teach you how to eat right with everyday food until you hit your goal or come close to hitting your goal. That's not what I was looking for. I don't want to get healthy by eating foods they made and they are processed foods, not fresh. I want to live a clean lifestyle. People need to break away from the processed food.
They said I have to buy their supplements and they listed the supplements, which I already take being that I do bodybuilding competitions, but they said nope, we have to take theirs because it goes well with their food. I don't know why their multivitamin is better than my multivitamin that I have to take their word for it and take theirs. They didn't really explain, we just have to take their word for it and that was a reoccurring theme. They also have something that measures your body composition/fat that they said is the leading way to measure your body comp and again, being in fitness, I know that the best way to measure your body fat is hydrostatic testing (getting dunked under water). I do it several times a year so to take their word for it just didn't rub me right.
There were other things that didn't sit right with me, but the biggest was that they said you can't really work out. You can, but not too much, no weight training and when I probed, they said, fine, I can do some but very very light weight. To me, any program that does not promote eating clean, but just their foods and does not promote working out unless it's through their machines downstairs does not sit well with me. Maybe it's just me and not my kind of program and if you want to get skinny, but all means, I think you can based on the testimonies. However, I think a program should teach you how to eat clean such as oats, egge whites, white fish, chicken, lean meats, yams, brown rice AND encourage you to do a healthy amount of cardio/strength training. It doesn't sound right to give you processed, boxed food. That's just like Nutrisystem. And then to not promote working out unless it's on their moving plates/TRX
I was in the workshop with two other women who had family who did the program and look great. I was happy for them that this is their kind of program and I wished them luck (they did not know I decided not to sign up). It can be for some people. But if you look at my before/after, I did it the right way through good old fashioned working out (not hard, but some elliptical and weight training) and just eating clean, non-processed food, which is how humans were supposed to live. I had supplements as well like multivitamin and fish oil and vitamin C. I lost 40 lbs in 2 months, 3 weeks but not only that, I felt the best ever because I didn't have processed food in me. I was looking for a program that promotes great overall health, but not as disciplined as my competition diet. In the end, I decided to stick to my clean food but just not be as strict so it's more maintainable for everyday life (like eating 4x a day instead of 6x a day when I was competing). Congrats to all those who did well on this program and I'd say go for it if you're just trying to lose weight. The staff is nice so customer service is not an issue for me. Whatever you choose, best of luck! read more
