I’m struggling to find anything which says he has a degree (it’s not on his LinkedIn or website) and anyone who has done an online course could call themselves a “nutritionist” which is how he describes himself on his website. I suppose years of seeing these sorts of things has made me very cynical! That aside, at least he seems more helpful than dickie and rachael! Everyone just needs to find that works for them and try and make peace with the diet demons.

I totally agree, I feel like my head is always spinning with conflicting information! I’m not an expert by any means but from being in the Preece group and doing some reading I believe protein is the most important - intake should be adequate to stop muscle loss (which often happens when people eat in a calorie deficit). I don’t think carbs and large matter as much and you can be flexible with those depending on your own preferences. I think calorie tracking is sadly necessary until a person reaches their goal weight, then they can hopefully maintain by using mindful eating principles (I’m holding onto hope of that for myself if I ever get to my goal weight!
). I think treat meals are preferable to treat days although every day is a treat day for me at the moment as I’m a total stress eater. I don’t think sugar in fruit matters as long as you are within your calories and your fibre is at least 30g. I’m less sure of all the fitness stuff, I’m trying to sort my diet first and increase my steps each day then when I feel confident with that I’ll hopefully get back into working out!
This is so me and I wonder if signing up with something else will add to it but at a fiver a month I'm thinking of having a go for a month...I'll either end up clearer or more spinning?!?!?!!
I think you could contact him first for a chat to see if it’s right for you before signing up. I’m so fed up, I feel like trying to lose weight and all the different information out there is just never ending, I would love to just not ever need to think about what I was eating!
Must admit I am fairly anti diet as they have appalling outcomes for 95% of those who use them. Only a lucky 5% tend to maintain their loss beyond five years and they have usually found exercise in a big way.
Rebelfit is very good in regard to this as he explains the science behind WHY we regain that weight. His advice is don't diet....eat what you want but consider nutrition and above all set small exercise goals and build on those.
Restriction doesn't work.
FWIW I think Preece is fabulous and far superior to any slimming club out there. I suspect he is still selling some kind of diet but don't know what this is. It'll be more realistic than SW or WW though.
Doesn't get any better does it?

Yeah I’m not a fan of any diet groups, I’m not going to be following any diet plans anymore. But he is a genuine and kind person, who isn’t just trying to get your money at the expense of your physical and mental health.
I’m thinking I might not follow any diet plan as I think trying to diet is so counterproductive for me. I might just try to eat mindfully and up my general activity to see what happens. I feel like planning, tracking, weighing out food and calculating calories/macros is just tormenting me!
Same. Honestly. I’ve tracked a little bit to see what my daily protein intake is like and it’s pretty good. So I’m just going to eat mindfully and try my best. I do loads of workouts from
Boxing and Bubbles or pop sugar on YouTube which are way more fun than the miserable team rh weight lifting.
Wow that sounds like a threat, not a promise of help?! Why would you go after someone and start harassing them again, when they clearly don't want anything to do with you?!??! Care deeplyDoesn't get any better does it?
oh my. They didn't care at all till they left an honest reviewThey start all the replies to negative reviews with “we’re so gutted” I’ve noticed haha idiots.Wow that sounds like a threat, not a promise of help?! Why would you go after someone and start harassing them again, when they clearly don't want anything to do with you?!??! Care deeply
We know the truth what they are really gutted about
they fail to mention how unapproachable they are too when people try and contact them. Very aggressive!All a bit heavy handed in my opinion, for whats meant to be a friendly support group, So you are not allowed to make a point if its negative? In other words he wants total control and likes to portray his plan as a magical fairytale, where everyone is happy all the time! Its a joke!! He likes to play god!! Can't bear a single negative comment towards his plan! Showing his true colours!Wow that sounds like a threat, not a promise of help?! Why would you go after someone and start harassing them again, when they clearly don't want anything to do with you?!??! Care deeply
Yes gutted people have seen through the bull!!
They werent ' gutted' when they took this members cash, but blocked them! There is a difference between a negative comment and someone being nasty? Playing god as per....Wow that sounds like a threat, not a promise of help?! Why would you go after someone and start harassing them again, when they clearly don't want anything to do with you?!??! Care deeply

Yep! Totally agree. It’s all a control thing. He must waste hours of his time fighting every negative vibe. He’s a nut case sociopath! The Trump of the fitness world. All the roid rage will do that to you.
Hahaha a good way to sum him up
Christ the way he is going on sounds like he shat on someone's cornflakes (macros counted obvs lol)
The person reviewing probably only questioned something, or disagreed. Richie is a wick
It’s the constant need for control isn’t it? I guess that’s what happens when you try and mask your deep insecurities with obsessing over calories, weight reps, large measurements, scale numbers, and every other minuscule facet of your existence. I think he’s deeply unhappy and hurt people, hurt people.
This thread has opened my eyes a lot. I joined team rh 3weeks ago and have lost 6lb so far, and tbf its not the plan im finding fault with. The plan itself of counting calories, protein and fibre goals and walking lots make sense.
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.
In the members fb group theres a member with a poorly toddler who is knavkered after a 12hr shift and who is desperate to fall asleep bit instead she 'stops being lazy' and stands next to the sleeping childs cot doing her steps. Lots of replies saying how wonderful and dedicated that is snd how easy it would be to give into the laziness. I posted advising it isnt laziness just exhaustion and sleeping is important but no reply.
'Making up steps' whixh makes it sound like ot cant be fun. Ive been in to doing sat down workouts in between work calls and my focus isn't on work but on weight loss which is bad.
Someone posted about doing their ankle in and wanting to get steps in - i was the only person who advised rest and to not try and workout. Others were saying not to drop your steps.
Apparently white bread, wraps, mayo etc ate rit! And if youre having wine and choc of an evening thats 20pc rit you cant have mayo on your chicken wrap. Ffs.
The whole calories in va calories out yet if youre not loosing its cos youre not hitting your protein or fibre.
Im all for going for walks which i actually really enjoy, and even a lunchtime sat dowm workout is fun, but stepping up and down mindlessly or getting up at 6am to do walkie talkies? Nope.
I hate how its always laziness, no it isnt. I actually posted this in the group and got shouted at
by other menbers as i said its easy to tell someone to work harder and do cyz when the person saying this has few commitments themselves.
I posted how scanning every single thing cor lunch was taking too lomg (usually whack veg in a pan, atir thru grains, whack in halloumi, seperate inyo 2 bowls then halve ingredients. So if 88g halloumi in pit i halve it and 44g per portion). Been told thsts wrong and i need to spend 10mins creating a convoluted recipe on wfp. When in reality the food is getting eaten accross 2days so does it matter if its 50g on both days or 60g and 40g? Apparently, yes it does
Richie doesnt seem to listen to membets who dont sgree with him either. Ive not looked st the fb groups so much as it was getting to me tbh
Ive paid f the year so im gonnakeep going and see how ido asi have already lost , but no counting medications or obsessing over fb

if that's possible! They are really toxic. Denying yourself anything is literally diet culture, the very thing they take the piss out of. I stopped using his ridiculous methods of stressing over fibre and protein, I have counted my cals 100%, without walking a million steps a day and I'm losing weight very easily on a good budget of 1600cals. A lot quicker and a more pleasant experience, than his suggested 1800 cals and a bare min of 5000 steps. It IS a cult and his members are so desperate to be part of the cool kids, not many will pipe up and say how they really feel.
