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

She said on a live she had fatique and did not have the energy to do the workouts. I suppose it shows she is only human. But imagine if a member said that ,they want you to walk around your house or dance in your kitchen like a maniac to get your steps in.
Yeah obviously it’s terrible if she’s unwell but if it was a size 20 mum of three with a proper job saying on the group she was fatigued Richie would be calling her all sorts!
So glad I have found this thread. I have just decided today to give up on TEAM RH as it just does not work, the amount of calories I have to eat and targets or protein and fibre is just not sustainable at all, never mind the fact I have lost the grand total of 2.5lbs and when asking for help on numerous occasions got told to come back when I have completed a full 14 days on the plan at hitting all targets (even though I explained that there is no way I could eat all the calories that they said I have too). Also he is so rude and forceful to overweight people I am not actually sure how he gets people to sign up
'His plan' does not work for everyone,but he just won't take any form of criticism! Just fobs you off , and of course its all your fault you lazy mother f***ker!
When I joined a few years ago I was given 2000 calories based on 10000 steps and day and three workouts a week. Seemed do-able, the calories seemed very high when I was used to about 1500 when in “diet mode”. I got going but felt so sick from all the protein after a few days I couldn’t hack it. Had to start eating less in the end and now do a 6 diet days out of 7 approach to keep me motivated.
The pressure I felt when logging onto their app was ridiculous, trying to get a gold star. Ridiculous when I think back! It was far more pressure than I’ve ever felt at the numerous diet clubs I’ve attended over the years.
I probably am someone who appreciates the no bull approach. I used to roll my eyes at slimming world when we were clapping people who had put on three pounds but “done their best” despite eating three takeaways and a box of roses but he has really taken it to the extreme. I’m still in their Facebook group (they clearly never delete anyone) and the brainwashing that is going on is astonishing! Also those walkie talkies are just a massive pile of cringe.
They have made a hell of a lot of money from preying on vulnerable dieters and it’s worrying how unregulated it is.

Yeah i also appreciate the no bull approach too but...... theres a massive difference between telling it like it is and just being damn right nasty to people!
I left the Facebook group seeing all those people massaging his already inflated ego made me feel sick!
I remember once him doing a live in his kitchen about macros with his top off!! Really loves himself!
The problem with his plan is it’s too much too soon for the average dieter.
For the average person who wants help losing weight (the majority of which have come from other diet groups such as SW, WW etc and/or have limited knowledge on the what why’s and how’s calories in vs calories out or are just a bit lost), the massive amount of information and macro detail is just unnecessary, overwhelming and not fit for purpose.
I hate to give them a business plan idea, but if they want to appeal and really work they need to look at different levels.
1) average person who wants to lose weight and needs encouragement to move more = realistic calorie amount/realistic deficit based on cals only and a max 10k steps a day.
2) person who has nailed step one and has hit a plateau, stuck in a rut, bored or is ready to increase fitness or who already has a very high step count daily = introduction to basic macros but with realistic targets and increased steps/workouts
3) those experienced in training/exercise, whether that be runners or they go to the gym a lot etc, or those who want to become leaner not just slimmer = increased calories (due to training expectations) with much more detailed macros to support their training with personalised fitness plans along with it.
They also need to get some bleeping empathy, take on constructive feedback, evolve and drop the crappy attitude.
He fits into number 3 and expects 64 year old Jean from up the road who’s been on SW for the last 15 years to suddenly start tracking her bleeping protein - which probably equals 22 chicken breasts for breakfast - and to do 15k steps even though she’s just had her knee replaced. He’s bleeping clueless and can’t see past his own nose.

Well said! I don’t think the average overweight person needs to bother about macros or try to hit that many steps, it’s too much pressure!
He is aware of this thread to I believe as some of his posts have been based on topics discussed here. It must be driving him crazy 
I do worry for Rachael . I don’t but the reason given for her being away. More likely he was responsible for that. He definitely controls everything and calls all the shots.

I have completely lost interest in this plan and don't use it. has anyone figured out how to cancel it? The website just gives you the T&Cs but doesn't actually seem to give you instructions on how to cancel it. I have been a member for a year so should be able to just cancel right?
,
I just emailed ashbourne and told them i wished to cancel, that was it, which i did at the beginning of this month, my contract ended October last year .
Yep! You only need to count macros (in my opinion) if you are prepping for a show and need to adjust your body composition. For the average person just wanting to lose weight, calorie counting with moderate exercise and a focus of whole foods should do the job. People seem to go OTT eating protein every second and bouncing on the spot.
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 large! 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!
I think he tries to bamboozle people with all this stupid information, so when you say to him you are not losing, he will say, but you didnt hit your protein or your steps or whatever the excuse he wants to make for his 'plan' not working, its unachievable fòr many!!
I agree, and I also think he does it to be intimidating so people think he’s cleverer than them so are more willing to give him their money, whereas he hasn’t got any decent qualifications. He just regurgitates stuff he’s noted from online journals, 17 year olds do that when they go to college or uni! I also can’t believe Rachael left a career as a teacher to essentially be his shadow and bounce about talking on video. Yeah they seem to be making good money now but most of these things aren’t successfull long term and don’t promise stability. People are getting fed up of anything slimming related, especially now there are much bigger things to worry about due to covid. She should’ve kept some independence and made a life for herself that wasn’t 100% tied to him, it’s not particularly healthy anyway even when your partner is a kind, mentally stable person so it’s ridiculously unhealthy in their case!
Everything you have just said is spot on! I remember him saying she used to come home from work crying because she hated her job so much , until he came to her rescue and 'saved'her!......
What was the email you used please? Can't seem to find one. I signed up to rh start of first lockdown, seemed like a good idea at the time but now realising it's a load of crock. Actually very little individual support offered, and fed up of wearing my carpet out walking on the spot for hours at a time
I'll just use mfp for free without the stress of trying to get a gold bloody star!- Status
