I'm a total tattle lurker and I've never posted anything before but following this thread for a while. I'm sort of shocked at how Trisha has managed to grow such a flourishing community on insta when her message is so flawed. If she wants to pivot her page into a lifestyle, cookery page then that's grand off you go and do that. But she is preaching this message of constant reset to an audience that presumably are looking to lose weight or get healthier.
Her message would seem to me to be nearly dangerous for people who are struggling to lose weight. The constant going off plan then reset message is harmful to those who have an unhealthy relationship with food. If these people are following Trisha and taking on what she is saying at the moment, this is what they're learning: she's lost 2 stone since Xmas and yet has had how many days 'off plan' as she puts it and 'reset' afterwards with no repercussions for her weight loss journey, her mental health or her relationship with food.
Sorry but this cannot be true. Either she is in a severe calorie deficit when on plan which has enabled her to drop the weight, which she has not been clear about, or she's lying about going off plan so frequently which I don't think is the case. If anything I'd say she goes off plan more often than she says. I mean we heard all about this artisan Easter egg she ordered on line but when asked to show it at Easter turned out she'd already secretly binged on it the second it arrived. So her audience will be left puzzled when they mimic these behaviours she shows of one or more days a week off plan followed by instant reset, but aren't losing weight.
If you think about it, off plan and reset is basically another way of saying, binge then purge. And if you do that, you're eating in a disordered way which won't result in healthy weight loss and more importantly is detrimental to your mental health and absolutely will result in a worsening relationship with food and therefore further issues for you down the line. To see Trisha held up as a paragon of healthy living and a person who's lifestyle is to be praised and emulated is frankly disturbing. So much progress has been made in areas of disordered eating and weight loss but Trisha is doing her best to drag us backwards to the old days, not show positive and healthy behaviours. Which is fine if that's how she personally wants to do it, but not acceptable when she's held up as an example for so many struggling with these issues. I think Trisha has her own struggles and clearly has a lot of issues with food and I feel for her on those fronts. I don't think she's helping herself with her carry on online, and I think she's dug a hole for herself now that her 'transformation' is her only way of generating income for herself.
Sorry that this post is so long but I've been observing what's going on for a while now and wanted to share!

(embarrassingly)!! Totally fell for her tripe. Bought the book the first week it came out, not a bad book tbf but holy fuck she is full of shit. Nothing lost in years and this crap with saying the scales doesn't define me.... Emmm it's a weight loss journey you're on your followers are on with you. The greed the ignorance, ignoring and turning off dms just proves how rude she is. Her poor family must be in a heap living with her and worried about her. Highly immature and not funny stories at times verging on bizarre some of it. Zero calorie counting, breakfast alone must be 700 calories plus.
very harsh!
I say that as someone with a significant weight issue myself..and one of the greatest barriers to people actually succeeding is irresponsible dishonest 'gurus' like her peddling anything that lines their bank account under the guise of being 'real' and just like one of us. She's lost all credibility and likability over a few short months but she'll have her army of deluded people who aren't really trying either defend her to the last, because their scales aren't moving either while they down the twirls and porridge breakfast buckets. I do hope she succeeds on a human level because her health is compromised at her size and in some ways she's only human like the rest of us are. But her lies are irresponsible and harming other people and that's where my sympathy ends for her and whatever struggles she's enduring. Oh, and if she has such an issue with people criticising her content she can refund me the price of the book I wasted last year....
