Davinia Taylor #2

[Tearinghaste]

I stopped following her on instagram a few weeks ago. I’m sticking with the products of hers that work for me. I do love the keto powder so
Much.

I’ve always followed my own path but in her Facebook group I can see people are so confused and feel that they should follow her advice to the T. I left the group because I don’t believe it’s well run. The carnivore thing has thrown her admins I think because people are questioning whether they should be taking her products.

 

[rasperryripple]

She’s giving me the rage with all this bull about addiction/carb cravings come 5 o’clock How doesn’t she realise that it’s just her body’s natural response to being starved of food all day I seriously hope people who are following her can see she has an eating disorder & aren’t trying to do what she’s doing! She’s completely insane!

Absolute crackpot. My mate has been reeled right in and was telling me I shouldn’t be eating porridge or cooking with local rapeseed oil (I didn’t actually hear this advice from Davinia but she was quoting her). Davinia happy enough to have god knows what injected into her chops to dissolve her fillers then get more stuff pumped in after. I’ll just stick with my porridge ta.

I must admit I got a bit sucked in, but it's all so confusing! Estrogen boost, estrogen detox...
I've got the collagen & keto stuff, got sucked a bit more before Xmas & got electrolytes tit..
Do people really see the big differences, or is it snake oil?
I get disheartened mind if I don't see results after the first drink/tablet

I like the collagen and the keto creamer. The electrolytes I think are overpriced, there's others out there for less that do a good job. The Calms tablets are just L theanine, and there's many other brands selling that. I really wouldn't know about the hormone boosters/detoxers as I haven't delved into those. I think its easy to get swept up in it all, I see people in the group buying bits because others have, and they aren't even sure what it does or if they actually need it! I wouldn't say snake oil, but certainly some of the things can be sourced elsewhere for less money.

Completely agree. Her eating is 100% disordered. The woman needs taking off her platform as there are impressionable people out there who will follow her. She needs to sort herself out as its quite clear she is craving alcohol on the daily too. How she thinks her 'willpowder' can be a substitute for actual food is a joke. I can't watch her anymore, it's like watching someone lose grip of life

Well said! I have suffered with eating disorders years ago and I'm at a point where I could say I have a healthy but still very measured attitude to food. At first I was drawn in by her and then i recognised her obsessional control around what she is eating or when. I knew then that continuing to follow her wd lead me back into a miserable relationship with food. actually really love food. I eat healthily and have learnt to eat some foods in moderation. Each to their own but come on who looks forward to those stupid drinks/powders she has which aren't cheap either

I have the mct stuff , collagen and have noticed my skin looks a lot better and it does hold off cravings but it’s not as good as I hoped, I want them to disappear

I got the osteogen detox and have noticed a difference for sure . I have calms but it gives me mental dreams and I will buy the next pack off Amazon for £8 . I don’t know if it’s the healthy eating too ?!

I won’t be buying anything else as I can see you could easily buy it all and be disheartened . She is a very extreme person ( and although open about it ) I do think she needs to think about her audience and maybe get one of her staff to talk about products .

She did a live the other day and said take as much mct oil as you need to get rid of cravings . But it’s expensive , I’d get the sh*ts and it’s calorific I’d actually gain weight and I need to lose .

I’d like some electrolytes for fast days any one have any recommendations ?

I use her collagen and mct powder u don't need anything else. I have noticed a difference on my keto but I'm not fully keto I do what I'd good for me I have carbs like carrot and potatoes and meat and eggs.

 

[BobbySinger]

I thought about doing keto but when it’s too restrictive it brings up bad dieting issues, I’m trying to do low carb but eat well, more clean but not get obsessed or I will spiral

Exactly I love potatoes and carrots not giving those up

I joined it and was off within a week. I like the Collagen powder (good quality and price for the pack size), and then started to wonder about the MCT oil and other bits. A week on the group was 6 days too long. It was just like every other diet group. Photos of plates of food of ‘good’ or ‘clean’ eating and endless questions of “can I eat/drink X/Y/Z???” It’s just the next fad.

MCT - multi chain triglycerides. Dessicated coconut is the same but in its purest form. It's around £2 for a big bag. I just put it into yoghurt or sometimes I put into porridge (according to her this is not good either) with a lump of good quality peanut butter - it's not fattening if you don't have too much in fact it actually boosts your metabolism and is great for heart health and skin and it satiates your appetite. She is basically baffling people with pseudo science and making a huge profit in the process. When I look at her I see a very insecure person obsessed with exercise and appearance - to some extent that is fine but anything that becomes obsessional can be dangerous. All the time she's waxing lyrical about these products she's still talking about real food. She's just found a way to deprive herself of what she wants to eat with willpowder and she's telling everyone about it - making anyone who likes to eat, think they've found a solution to losing weight - great expensive money making exercise for Davinia. Real food will always be better. It should not be about convenience but eating what you want in moderation. The power is in the mind and working on that and developing a healthy relationship with food. Enjoy the broccoli, enjoy the cake if you want it but most of all don't feel bad and certainly don't anyone be guilt ripped by Davinia and her military style of eating. Food is meant to be pleasurable as well as fuelling our bodies properly. She must be quite a bore socially with her outlook. I wonder what happens when her kid goes to parties - I can only imagine..
Apologies everyone, I didn't mean for such a long post but got carried away but it is something I feel passionate about and I think Davinia needs to look at therapy for herself.

I'm using Vidrate electrolytes at the moment. Lots of different flavours, much cheaper. If you sign up to a subscription, they send you the first month's worth for free, so you can try it out and cancel if it doesn't suit.

Why do we need electrolytes? Is it useful if you fast?

 

[BobbySinger]

I read it’s good for headaches which I can sometimes, and good for hydration

You might need to replace them if you lose a lot in sweat when exercising.

An electrolyte drink will replenish minerals lost in sweat, better hydration than water which can actually dehydrate you through peeing a lot. Google & you’ll see you can make your own electrolyte drink with stuff you already have in your cupboards

I do love the collagen, any time I’ve tried marine collagen I never stick with it cos it always is horribly flavoured but Davinia’s being bovine and unflavoured is brilliant. I’ve had good success with the supplements I’ve had from WillPowders but I agree the Facebook group definitely has some extreme people on it who go into attack mode and “I will hunt you down” if someone posts their shopping and they’ve bought the wrong (in their eyes) thing from Waitrose and shame them publicly for it. The admins need to watch that kind of thing cos I’ve seen some people leave the group because of that kind of response to something that doesn’t have the right oil in it.
