Hi all, just found this thread and have been plowing my way through them all. Team RH is a tinpot company who shouldn’t be nowhere near the fitness industry. Richie is a glorified bodybuilder hence the near ED methods he advises. Calorie deficit is a tool that works but like most tools it doesn’t work well for everyone. The best diet is the diet you already have with just a few tweaks to make it better (1 or no sugars in tea instead of 2, Coke Zero instead of full fat etc etc). Also the 15,000 step target is ridiculous unless you are unemployed with no family. Just go for a walk when you can and workout 3 times a week (again no stress if you can’t) If you do want to count calories simply work out your TDEE for free online and deduct 500 cals to get your target number of cals. Remember you have to consistently go over your TDEE (a lot too trust me) to put on weight. As for protein, gym goers will hit high targets as they are trying to keep hold of muscle when burning fat but to be honest just ensure you eat a a balanced plate which contains a serving of protein at each meal and you will be golden. We are generally not protein deficient in the UK so not sure why Team RH are getting everyone chugging down protein powder. Above all don’t overthink it, I know it’s frustrating but some of them FB groups will do you no favours trust me. If anyone ever wants any help or support my inbox is always open. Just don’t want a single extra person handing over their hard earned money to them. He’s a prick.
Hes on Instagram today paddling the protein powder again saying about if u canr hit it with food then get the powder.....
So much for oh it isn't about the money it's always been about the money we just didn't see it.
My PT said exactly the same that this obsessive tracking even dilute juice and not eating unless u track every single thing tracking medication etc will lead to bigger problems down the line. And unfortunately it has for some people but they're still stuck to his apron strings singing his praises even tho he tit on them basically
