TeamRH

[flibble123]

Why is Rachael going along with his bullshit? Surely she is intelligent enough to see what hes doing and how absolutely vile it is??

Narcissistic control I think. Who is she now? She can’t just leave, her face is all over the company imagery. Her whole job and identity is team rh. I mean, they started it up not long into the relationship. Imagine a boyfriend doing that?! Right, you’re going to be the image of my company now, if you leave, you’ll destroy my livelihood... no pressure or anything, it’s only because I love you sooo much!

He did a live once with so much information it was just too much for the average dieter to comprehend!
Saying things like if you are a few grams short of your protein goal , or fibre, or supid fhings like that you wont lose fat! It was ridiculous really when i look back at the stuff he was saying!!

Yep absolute bs! There was a guy on YouTube who ate at Maccies everyday (stayed within a cal deficit) and lost weight. It wasn’t the most nutrient dense food but it got the job done!

Following with interest.
I too was sucked in with Richie & Rachel. I followed from the beginning and got in early with them few years ago. I remember the falling out with the ex employee Munro fitness, they basically got taught him what to do then he set up in his own.

I do think that is what has made them paranoid about everyone being out to cheat them and dare I say it a bit bitter. I've never followed Munro fitness closely or been a member. In my eyes, by become partners with this awful company Ashbourne Management it proves they don't give a shit about their members, they are just there to take every penny they can. I wouldn't work with such a company. They are also pushing a lot of products you can clearly get cheaper on amazon. I get that they're a business not a charity, but they need to stop pretending they care so much because they don't it would seem. Makes them no different from any other greedy slimming club.

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 really don’t think he understands the damage even something like this could do! Let me tell you I run and my arse and legs are toned but the rest of me suffers. But I run A for cardio B and B is a Biggy (see what I did there) for my mental health! To clear my head and get out. I get more out of a 30 minute run that I do a 30 minute walk.

Discouraging people this way may lead them down a very dark path. Ffs why can he not just be normal and give pro and cons! Running/jogging/power walking all hold a great amount of value in health and well-being.

No it won’t give you the same definition but my mind is clear and I can climb mountains/hills without needing my inhaler anymore.

Why does he have to be a ‘NEGATIVE SALLY’ all the time rather than a Postive influence. Positivity goes a long way with encouragement and motivation.

He does not run, he just likes lifting weights, so that is how he ''coaches'' and tells everyone else to do it rather than listening to how people feel.

Keep up your running and enjoy it, running is a beautiful thing and any ''coach'' saying do not run is similar to the SW stories he may tell about consultants saying not to exercise etc. I think he is forcing his way of dieting so much he is making calorie counting to lose its advantage over slimming world.

 

[theeyeroller]

don’t despair! Protein is good, calorie counting can work if you do it healthily. Contact Preece nutrition. He’s been so wonderful this morning.

I’m already a member of Preece Nutrition, he’s great but I still feel like i’m going to be thinking about and planning every little thing i eat forever! Hopefully I can follow his plan, get to my goal weight then maintain using mindful eating!

I think TRH try to overwhelm people so that they'll feel helpless going it alone but as long as you eat below your TDEE you'll lose weight, even if you did zero exercise and sat down all day. Exercise is great for mental health and for overall physical health such as building stronger muscles and keeping your joints active but it isn't necessary to walk 15,000 steps a day. Looking after your mental health is as important, if not more important, than looking after your physical health, otherwise you'll crash and burn.

Similarly, you don't need to worry too much about macros while losing weight. Getting some protein in with most/every meal, and making sure you have some healthy sources of fat and some vegetables/fruit and you'll be eating pretty good, there's always time to refine it when you get closer to goal.

this!!! He’s no different than ww/sw who use smart points, syns, hex a and b!

I was a member about 3 years ago. It’s an absolutely vile toxic group with no support at all.

I have struggled with BED my whole life because of a parent who restricted my food, used to use our dog to chase me around a field to exercise and berated me constantly for being overweight.

I’ve never successfully lost weight as emotional overeating always wins. I once asked for help in the group and Richie made me the subject of one of his rants. Using my full name. Calling me lazy and pathetic. Told me I was going to die. Told me I will never lose weight because I am weak and I actually don’t deserve to be thin or deserve his help.

At the time I was working 40 hours a week in my main job, then building a business which was another 30 hours a week - I tried to explain to him I didn’t have time to get 15,000 steps in but it was just pathetic excuses apparently. He set me back years. I’ve still not made any progress on my weight loss as in the back of my mind I hear his voice and my dads about how I’ll always be fat and lazy.

Im glad people have mentioned Preece - I always liked him and was aware of the fallout and the poor woman who was getting legal letters etc - I hope she stood her ground and stood up to them. Maybe I will have a look at Preece today and see if it’s time to make some changes.

I’m so so sorry he treated you like that, it says so much about who he is as a person and is nothing to do with you and your worth. I think the lady who was getting legal letters got help from james smith’s legal team in the end. Please don’t feel pressured to lose weight although that’s easier said than done I know. If you do decide to look at Preece nutrition then please be reassured he is an absolute gent, he is so kind and supportive and he doesn’t have a filthy crude mouth!

 

[ChubClubThug]

A bad review on trustpilot, hes not gonna be happy with that!!

She forgot to mention you NEED to have MFP to even use their wonderful app

 

[SpiceWeasel]

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

 

[wavebubbye]

I’d never seen any affiliate offering sign ups so that’s what made me wonder. Like you say - why on earth does that woman march in her kitchen or do seated workouts if she’s not being paid? Or are they all just narcissists seeking fame?! Such a bizarre set up!

I wonder if any of them have any training, PT, fitness instructor, life couching, nutritionist. Anything, or if you can just bounce about your living room as long as you’re popular and getting the referrals in

 

[ChubClubThug]

his product can't be that good if he has to rely on people paying upfront or trying to lock people into a £6.99 a month dodgy contract

 

[rememberwayne]

I want to comment on their videos sometimes and say 'blink 3 times if you're being held against your will hun'.

I feel the exact same way!

 

[Jossylovesmoss65]

I am SO glad I came across this thread, I thought I was the only one who hadn't been brainwashed by this fool.

I joined RH around may 2018, as a 19 year old uni student, as I thought Richie was talking sense because I hadn't seen any other slimming group mention calorie deficits before. However, once I joined (this was before the app) I was recommended I think 1600 kcals a day, 15k steps with 130g protein. This was peak exam season for me, and I was struggling to hit 10k let alone 15.

On top of this, I was 19 years old, wanting to go out and drink with mates etc. Instead of encouragement from his page, his posts were always "Youre killing yourself going out with your friends on the sesh every weekend" "Make some sacrifices you've been fat for too long" "Cut off friends that don't understand you're losing weight". Honestly these words are disgusting especially as I was so impressionable and desperate to lose weight at the time, I was barely over 12 stone and to imply I was killing myself by going out drinking guilted me so much.

Also the protein intake they give you is absolutely ludicrous, I was eating meat 3 times a day, eggs once or twice a day, there were still nights I was cooking turkey breasts at 1am to try and get my protein intake to 130g. HOW can they promote this as a viable and sustainable long term plan?

I gave up after probably less than a month as I wasn't seeing any difference and it was taking an extreme toll on my life. Fast forward to now I've graduated with a degree in food science and nutrition, I'm probably ten times more educated on the topic than he is and I am losing weight in a truly sustainable way.

This guy is absolutely deranged, how he motivates his clients is disgusting, he encourages people to cut off every single person that doesn't believe in his bullshit. He preaches how culty clubs like SW/WW are but honestly his minions are ten times worse. Just because he has sacrificed his entire life to be fit and eat a stone of protein every day he believes the rest of us should too. I struggled to follow his plan as a student, I can't imagine how impossible it is to follow as a mum/dad with a 9-5. He is so manipulative over his following and claims to help people who are traumatised from SW/WW, there's no way that telling people they're lazy and not taking weight loss seriously if they don't manage to do 15k steps every day and eat an insane amount of protein is repairing anyone's relationship with food, in fact he's probably making these vulnerable people worse.

Sorry for the rant lol I'm just so glad to finally find people that see him for what he truly is!!

Its all about the controlling aspect again! Cutting people off from you, exactly what hes doing to Rachael funny enough?
He is a lunatic!
He thinks that life revolves around having the perfect body while sacrificing friends, family , no fun at all!! I would much rather be overweight to be honest!

 

[ChubClubThug]

When she came back Richie said it was partly fatigue and partly that people were being too mean to her and it was taking a toll on her mental health. I wouldn't wish that on anyone but it's a bit rich of Richie to complain about people being mean.

He's so full of shit, no-one would get a chance to be mean to her before their arse lickers spring into life. I don't think you can inbox them on fb either, I think it's turned off

 

[Giggling Squid]

Well thats some top notch marketing

 

[Giggling Squid]

Peter Preece is basically the anti Richie - he’s wonderful. I spent a couple of days messaging him a few weeks back. He actually sees his customers as people not paycheques!

@flibble123 I’ve not been around the group for a while, so not sure who you are - but I’m sorry he’s been such an arsehole to you!

 

[flibble123]

You’ve got it in one!!!! Hope you’re doing ok better now xx

I’m working on it, my metabolism is trashed from starving down so much, I’ve gotten my period back finally though and am not freezing cold all the time, have put weight on faster than I’d like but I’ll balance out again like I usually do.

 

[theeyeroller]

He’s so aggressive. If he loves her so much why doesn’t he ever do anything nice for her? It’s all work, work, work, push, push, push. They’re always claiming they’ve had takeaways and stuff but there’s never any photos of that. Just of the veg they eat.

I’m sure others have commented how he always says they work too hard to take holidays etc but he went away holidays and nights out with “the boys”. Maybe he should encourage her to pursue something outwith Team RH and not related to him. Seems like she doesn’t have her own identity, and if it’s like this now imagine how much worse it’ll be if they go on to have children!

 

[Jossylovesmoss65]

I don’t even know who Emma is??? There certainly aren’t many affiliates left (not decent ones anyway, they’re all over on Preece Nutrition ) Apparently he was really controlling with the affiliates regarding what they posted, even things like their appearance when doing lives.

Total controlling nutter!
They cant be earning that much can they?? I would much rather keep my self respect intact!
