Its tje attitude surrounding it i dont like. This week richie put a post up lambasting people for sayinf eating healthy is expensive. Cue people agreeing and telling us how cheap aldi is, how much lentils cost and its all laziness. I posted around how for some people eating healthy is impossible- food deserts, food and fuel poverty,,etc. I posted how the cost of porridge is beside the point - im lucky i can either walk or fund transport to a cheap shop, am lucky i have the fuel with which to cook, am lucky that if i screw up a meal its only for me and ive not got crying toddlers amd no food in the cupboard. I pointed out that most of us are ok cooking dahl for hours as aside from having the momey to do, we can look forward to netflix and a warrm home, our comfort can come from things other than food. I signposted george orwells the rd to wigan pier and why if youre poor youre more likely to eat junk. Got not 1 like but people sharing how chesp lentils are got a personal reply off rh.
This sort of thing really annoys me - yes, you can get some healthy food cheap in this country but, like you say, not everyone has access to it, both for distance/transport reasons and situational reasons - I've lived in some horrendous rented properties, places without kitchens, places without fridges and freezers, even one dump without running water - I lived on crisps and the occasional piece of Dixie Chicken because, as much as I love a nice lentil curry with rice and a side of vegetables, it wasn't possible to make them or afford them.

I left TRH even more obsessed over food than before I started it - I'm semi calorie counting at the moment alongside the tattle weight loss thread but trying to get myself out of the binge-restrict-binge cycle so I'm taking breaks along the way to try and not get obsessive over it or get into the "I had an extra hundred calories, I'm such a failure, might as well eat a whole pack of digestives" mindset.

Something I am wondering though - I wonder what Richie is like as a boss, can you imagine getting your 6 month review from him?

I’m no snowflake either but find the constant foul language vulgar and off putting. I can’t stand it when it’s every other word! He’s really limiting his audience by doing it anyway, I’m not exactly going to suggest my mum who says ‘oh sugar!’ has a look at his page, she’d probably try and put a complaint in with Ofcom 🤣
Me too!! I'm not easily offended by swearing but you expect a degree of professionalism.
I left after a month. I didn't feel like I learnt anything new & felt I was paying just to use an app. I had more success on my own just googling specific fitness related info.

I don't think Ritchie would be approachable. There are reasons beyond being lazy why someone isn't losing weight.

The irony of his comment.. doesn't matter when he's bullying and threatening people who did a lot for him in the begining. He's scum.

Im sure when I left it was very easy. I wonder what's made them take this approach? It would put me right off signing up.
I don't want to offend any existing members but I felt that they would end up a bit cult like & if you went against them there would be a squad of Team RH members waiting for you with their black & red hoodies 😂 except Rachel, she'd just be doing a pirouette & smiling somewhere.

What i find quite alarming is the amount of people who are agreeing with him! Only one person said she thought it wrong to contact the employer of "the troll" and she was put in her place by Richies fanbase!!

Why is he intercepting her messages?! Odd and creepy behaviour!
Yeah she is grown woman for goodness sake! All part of the conrol! Must be suffocating for her in a relationship like that!

Absolutely agree with the above comments. I was with them in the very early days and they are unrecognisable how they behave these days. Involving that awful company when there was really no need to, has deffo killed it for me. They used to give it large how they lived in a tiny flat and had an ancient battered old car, because they weren't in it for the money 😄 ... not quite the same now you charge people £25 for a missed £6.99 dd huh!
Apparently Richie said he had never been away on holiday with Rachael as they couldn’t afford it, then went away on a boy’s holiday 😆 He’s a knob! Must be raking it in. Cannot believe they’ve now involved that company, so much for being in it for the right reasons!

I’ve followed their plan in the past. I bought a year subscription and just didn’t renew. I think the premise is fine but once you know it you don’t need to keep paying. I’m still in the Facebook group though as I assume they don’t bother deleting people.

I found the people they had answering questions and doing “lives” very odd and I didn’t like that side (Where did they all go?!) but I do like Rachael and think she seems genuine and motivating.

They must be absolutely raking it in though and am disappointed to hear about the debt collection side
Especially when they're charging people £25 for a missed payment of 6.99 lol 😳 or in my case £30 something ... I'm gonna report them to trading standards. It’s hidden in the terms and conditions. It seems an Excessive charge for such a small monthly payment. I'm sure there are rules about companies profiting too much from charges.

I too liked Rachel, in the early days she answered/helped with some questions I had. But this hard sell with the collection company has hammered the nail in for me.

I don’t think him or his “plan” is any better than slimming world or any of the other diet plans he’s constantly bashing.

Will hold people into a 12 month contract for quality content like this 👍
Oh dear, this is embarrassing 😂😂 he's so easily wound up isn't he? Why are people paying him for this? Seriously, people give their hard earned cash to this guy. A grown man forever throwing strops laced with childish put downs.

A couple of phrases spring to mind, people in glass houses, empty vessels etc.
On the other hand Richie, no one is dying to know what you think.

I don’t want to sound cynical but this page seems to be turning into a giant advert for Preece Nutrition! What exactly does he do which is so amazing and different from all the other diet groups?!!
You’re right actually sorry loads of us have mentioned him! I suppose any diet group is similar in that people follow whatever the plan is and get support from the group when they need it. The difference is that Pete is a qualified nutritionist (not a mickey mouse qualification either, an actual degree which I don’t think any of these other online people like RH, Munro or Courtney Black etc have.) and has also just got a PT qualification. The main difference is he is a really decent guy who personalises everything to the individual. So you’re not lumped in a category, he takes different things into account when he sets your calories and he also tweaks them anytime. He also replies to messages individually and not generically and is never unkind or unprofessional. Sorry I appreciate that sounds as though i work for him, I don’t 🤣 and I’m actually struggling to even stick to my calories at the moment because of personal circumstances but I’ve stayed in the group in the hope I can get back on track!

I’m sorry, but this isn’t professional at all!
That is absolutely DISGUSTING!!!! I am furious at that post! Why has everyone not unfollowed him there and then? That is fat shaming in my book. Fatty bum bums? If he said that to my face he certainly would never ever type that again.

Is the term ''fatty bum bums'' not fatshaming? I am someone who is not wet behind the ears and it takes a lot to offend me, but I find that absolutely vile! They wonder why they get stick on social media, no the wonder!!!

He contradicts himself all the time!! Thick as pigs shit!
He is a dime short of a dollar, yet has the power to influence over 250k followers, very scary!

Has anyone seen the post frok this morning? How someones been trolling rschael so he removed it without even showing her and send the screenshot to the blokes employer and wife. 1) how dodes he get to choose what Rachael sees? Shes a geown women 2) potentially losing someones livelihood. When someones voiced their unhappiness richie gets aggressive and shouts not to jusge them. Nasty
I think personally someone will kill themselves one day due to this man, not the company or the plan, the man who runs it. All the ingredients are there. He is happy to go wreck someones life revealing things to their employer. At least if he revealed what was said there could be some empathy, however knowing him, someone has probably said Rachael's lipstick didnt match her shirt and world war 3 has occurred.

He needs to learn respect for human beings, rather than treating people like crap and then pretending it is because he cares or blaming ADHD (very convenient thing to blame it on as can't question mental health, it is a loophole for him in my opinion)
The only condition he has is cunt-it-is

Also I’m curious about him saying people’s words have destroyed her over the past year. I wonder what anyone has actually said, and is it “trolling” that’s impacted her mental health or is it the fact she realises she’s given up her career/life to be tied to a control freak with massive issues? I know what would bother me more!

He's absolutely disgusting!! Yes everything does have calories, but taking it to that extreme is WRONG. They can swivel on my fat one. Hopefully more and more people get the message about them and it all blows up in their faces. He probably wouldn't care if someone had an ED as long as he could use that person as a poster for his "success" .. Arseholes. Rachael is looking rather scrawny these days too. She's dropped a lot of weight recently and she had a lovely figure anyway!
He is the worst human being I have ever encountered in my opinion. Their plan and most of what they say makes sense, it is the person in charge the problem lies with. He diets within an inch of his life all the time, sacrifices his family, friends, the girlfriend he tells social media it is all for etc, all for his diet. Normal people with human emotions will put family, friends etc before their diet. Rather be overweight than obsessed to that degree.

I’m so sorry you went through that. I haven’t suffered the way you have but as someone who has struggled with yoyoing in weight my whole life I definitely have elements of disordered eating, and I grew up with a mum who was very restrictive with her eating (she probably did have some sort of ED) so I have huge alarm bells when I see anything like this promoting disordered eating.



Couldn’t agree more, being that extreme is dangerous. I would rather carry a few extra pounds than live a life where I track things like paracetamol, it’s not worth it. I was thinking the same about Rachael, she used to have a gorgeous figure and lovely personality but now she’s looking quite scrawny but very muscular in the shoulders (almost masculine) and she’s coming across as very forced and fake bubbly now. I also hate the way he calls her “my Rachael” - I know it’s supposed to be endearing but something about him saying it gives me creepy vibes.
I have noticed that ''My Rach'' thing too for a while now, it is as if she is his property.

too self righteous and a little bit controlling over HIS missus.
I very very much see this too

He’s even harsher within the group, it’s very uncomfortable to see him calling someone a lazy excuse maker when they could have all sorts going on in their lives that he couldn’t possibly understand. I’m so glad I left! I wonder if they’ll realise one day how difficult it can be if they end up having children or if their business hits the skids and they have to go back to real jobs?
They will never have kids, I think that is the one way Rachel would start to see him the way he is if Maternal instincts kicked in. Now I personally think she is complicit in his actions, no smiley face on live videos will disguise that to me.

Me too!! I'm not easily offended by swearing but you expect a degree of professionalism.

I don't think Ritchie would be approachable. There are reasons beyond being lazy why someone isn't losing weight.
He just does not get why people do not put themselves first in life, he can't grasp someone eating loads of food for comfort after a hard week, a family member taking ill etc. So he disguises lambasting people as ''caring'' or ''tough love''.

There’s definitely something about their relationship that doesn’t sit well with me. I could be wrong but he seems very controlling of her and always has to profess how supportive he is of her, usually if someone has to big themselves up like that the opposite is true. She seems a bit like a Stepford Wife, she’s very beautiful and very lean but she cones across a bit like a robot going through the motions. It’s like he’s the puppet master and she’s a beautiful little blonde meek Pinocchio!
Agree with every word. It is hiding in pain sight I believe. I have found the more someone tells you they are a good person, the more they are actually not. The more and more I see Richie say how he cares for Rachael, I personally believe he does not.

I asked to cancel my membership due to covid, costs etc and they put me on a 3 month payment break.....currently paying £6.99 a month
Yep - they couldn't give a hoot. I was getting daily threatening emails with higher and higher fees each day and when I questioned them, it was literally like a 12 year old was responding. So frustrating. I'm still paying them even though I'm not using the app, don't follow anything else as I don't believe the calorie goal they set "specifically for each person" was in any way shape or form going to help me lose weight. Absolute farce of a programme, yet again targeting vulnerable members of society.

Unless someone is bodybuilding they don’t need the high amounts of protein that’s being recommended. A balanced diet (all 3 macros) is best unless you have a health concern (epilepsy and have been advised to do a high fat, low carb diet). I found that people were adding scoops of protein powder to porridge, yogurt, having a protein shake, chicken wraps, protein bar, high protein tea followed by another shake. For someone wanting to lose weight, it’s not necessary. There are plenty of non meat protein sources but you’d have to eat bucket loads to hit the protein target set.
But Richie know it all used to say if your 1 gram short of your protein goal, you are a thick shit who needs to watch is videos to understand his plan! Zzzzzz

And it’s always “Sandra sitting on her arse watching Corrie eating crisps” not “working until 10pm at night on board reports because she’s career minded and working her arse off to get ahead”
He's an absolute turd. There are plenty of blokes who sit on their fat arses, beer gut hanging out, stuffing crisps while their poor wife runs around doing all the house work, cooking and looking after the kids. I've never heard him use a bloke as an example ever!

I think he was raised by his grandparents, no idea what went on with his parents
