Not quite Slimming World, but does anyone else follow The Meal Prep King. Any thoughts?

I just wanted to reiterate the MFP thing. I used to be a PT and I’m qualified with Precision Nutrition to level 2. Don’t use MFP to work out your daily calorie goal, it gives nearly all women 1200 which is far too low for most people. I actually use James Smith’s nutrition calculator for free on his app (as annoying as I think he is) as I find it’s the better of those out there. If you go with 1200 anyway, not only will you feel hungry and probably end up binging because of feeling so restricted, but when your body adapts to those calories you’ll have to drop them again and going below 1200 is NOT recommended.
This is good to know especially re the body adapting and you’d have to then lower your calories again! I didn’t know this!
So agree, one of my good friends suffers with BED and he is scared to eat in front of people, let alone post a crap pasta dish for the world to see. He eats when he’s alone, hence the binging. So glad to see the back of him, done nothing for me and I’m sure he’ll be back saying he’s cured, join SW lose 20 pound in his first week then gain another 6 stone! Waste of space.
Another one that doesn’t believe in speed food with meals. Packed with “low syns” but none of the healthy stuff that’s needed for the plan to work

MFP put me on the same.... and I wasn’t actually losing weight really at such low calories and very high amounts of activity. Apparently it messes up your metabolism eating so low.Apologies if anyone has said this but I’d watch with MFP it doesn’t seem to give realistic calorie goals. When I worked with a PT she helped me to work out my BMR which is what you burn in a day naturally aka lying down not moving at all it then gives you your calories you can consume to maintain and those that will put you in a calorie deficit going forward. It helped me massively. MFP told me to eat 1250 and I struggled a lot!

Agreed, I find his attitude really off putting and I don’t think he is endearing himself to grab potential clients. I appreciate people need to know these things but he really takes it too far.
The Fitness Chef comes across much better imo, he’s funny and straight talking. He has a book and now an app which he charges for but I just find him altogether much better. If what you’re peddling is great you don’t need to piss on others fire.
Also I like the fact the fitness chef gives u a 14 free trial so if it’s not for you you can cancel. Jason is a an arrogant dick!
It’s all about the #ads for these girls! Nothing slimming about their pages
I noticed Sophie Jude has put weight back on, wonder what happened!
To be fair she still looks amazing though!
Yes! No doubt about it.
What's her account name? Can't find her.
Her account worries me, mainly cos people are praising her. She’s added “recovery” to her “bio” I noticed. That’s not a “recovery” diet from my own ED experiences. So, I dunno what she’s following?
I think in one of the comments she said something about not/can’t increase at the moment so hopefully she’s seeing a specialist who is upping her calories bit by bit. I don’t know how she just has a cuppa soup for tea, I wouldn’t be able to sleep from hunger!!
I’m not convinced she’s under professional treatment. I have a feeling she’s trying to recover on her own. All facilities or treatment I’ve engaged with require almost twice the amount of food of a “normal” adult to gain weight. She won’t gain an ounce eating what she’s eating.
Her account is so worrying. She eats some cucumber and 2 x 10 calorie jellies for lunch. That’s about 40 calories. She says she wakes up to horrible messages and her followers all praise her and say ignore the haters, but I really think those messages could be concerned messages not “horrible” as she has been quite snippy to people who tried to help in her comments. I think she has got help for depression or anxiety but I’m not sure she is under professional help for ED
