I am so happy to see this! I also joined but soon realised that it's just a keto based programme which can't be done forever. I guess i expected some magic... It sadly was not. I crashed after 4 weeks and crashed badly... I thought I was alone. So very happy to see this!
Hi Emma. I loved the honesty of your approach and information. We are so bombarded with ads and marketing that it’s hard to know what to believe. Thanks so much and keep it up. You’ve gained a follower.
You are amazing!! I am SOOOOOO thankful you did this review, because I saw her ad on facebook and clicked it and was drawn into her video. I was soooo close to purchasing, but I decided to do some more research and just happened upon your youtube review, and boy am I so glad that I did! You are amazing and I thank you for sharing your honesty and vulnerability with us so that we might stop the neverending cycle of crash yo yo dieting! 💜 You are a rock star XO
Ah thank you for such a lovely comment, and I am so happy this review was helpful for you. I'm sure her plan has helped people, but I just felt it wasnt sustainable for most. Slow and steady is the way to go, ground yourself in the basics and be consistent. Wishing you all the best for 2025.
I appreciate your feedback and experience. So glad it worked well for you and you were able to find something that you can sustain. That's awesome, well done!
I love it too. Even though I know clean eating is the best to do, I need a meal plan for me commit. Really, it is hard to get started with all the grocery shopping and fitting everything into the fridge, and doing separate meals, but losing all the weight would be hard so if this plan helps, say do it. I'm down 25 lbs and will keep her clean eating tips with me foreve.
I’m glad I decided to look that program up and found your video! I was about to put my card’s info. In even though I was skeptical. I figured if anything I’d have some recipes. But now I’m going to save some money. I agree with every you say about it. 😊
I am starting to listen to you. I believe a bit of what you are saying. However, I did the original $29. And have been loosing. The diet is pretty much raw, and I feel amazing. I agree that if I go back to the way I used to eat, I will gain back weight. But it sure is a good way to hold yourself accountable. We have to plan what we eat or we plan to fail. I do the morning drink and lunch is a salad for me. Dinner is the smoothie unless I am fixing for hubby, then I do what I fix for him. She has a ton of exercises on you-tube and I am doing those. I just choose one and do it. Plus I walk. So we shall see, I am down 10 lbs.
Thank you!! I also was close to giving my card info until I found you. I have Lupus and thought maybe I could get rid of inflammation. I do agree with everything you say. Do you mind to tell me about the ginger shots?
Thank you so much! Like others here mentioned, I was about to purchase, as the marketing did hook me. In googling it separately, I found your video and appreciate the time you took to go through it, as I now know it’s not for me!
Thank you, Emma. I was almost sucked in. I'm 46 and pre menopausal. I was on her checkout page for the $29 and felt that inner nudge to check out reviews. I read some and then came to your review. You just saved me $29. Thank you!!!! ❤
I'm glad it was helpful for you. Truth is we often all want a little kickstart in the New Year and it will work as it's so low calorie. But it's just not sustainable for most people. Start with the basics of just eating better, moving your body and prioritising sleep. Prioritise protein in your diet and introduce strength training if you aren't already. Do what you know already and choose to stick with it. Wishing you all the best.
Thank you so much for saving me money! Definitely trust your review more than someone who has been an athlete all her life and who admittedly hadn't had similar issues with me growing up.. I really appreciate your openness, this is what makes your review stand out as honest. Cheers!
I think people often feel that if they look and train just like the person selling a product that they too could look like them. We need to appreciate we all have different challenges, different relationships with food and also different sizes and shapes of bodies. Improved health and fitness will come from sticking with the basics consistently, building good food lifestyle habits that will last for life. I'm glad the review was helpful for you, I appreciate your comment.
Thank you Emma. Everything in the video is what I felt deep inside, but I needed to hear it. Thank you for the time you spent making the video. Loved the scenery on your walk! You are wonderful and so beautiful!
Hi Emma, this was super helpful………I nearly went ahead with her program, I like her exercises but I think I will do water I normally do and eat clean & lots of water as that’s what works for me, don’t get me wrong some days I “ fall off “ the wagon but I know what to do for my own body…….thanks Emma 🙌🏽😊
Glad it was helpful for you. This is what I find with most people that you already know what you need to be doing and what will work for you. You also don't have to be perfect to make progress. This video may be helpful where I go over some of the basics that I think most women should start with th-cam.com/video/U7Nqr8Zfzkk/w-d-xo.html Wishing you all the best with your 2025 health and fitness intentions x
I respect all opinions and some things may not be for everyone. I have enjoyed this program so much. I was excited to join and im glad that I did with much success. I was 150 and wanted to hit my target weight of 130. I’m almost there. Most of all i have enjoyed the smoothies because i had no clue as to how a green smoothie could ever taste good and just love the ginger intake as well.
Thanks for sharing you experience. It's good to have inputs from so many different people and this is just my own personal experience and opinion. There are some recipes in there that I loved too and will continue to use. You have found something that works for you and thats wonderful. Keep up the good work, I hope you have continued success.
so glad i found your video before I paid! I am in my fifties and that diet would never work for me. been there done that just like you! thanks for the honesty
Thank you Emma!!! In a desperate place looking for the magic! Your honest review is so awesome and saved me not only 💵- more importantly saved me from once again losing hope and even more self esteem!!
Oh lovely, I know it can feel desperate at times, but I hope you can start to approach it from a space of self care. Know it can take a little time. But the slow and steady approach is by far the best in my opinion. Get grounded in the basics. Work on improving your daily walking, reduce processed foods and prioritise protein in your diet and if you are not already then incorporate some strength training. I'm wishing you all the best for 2025 and hope that you can find something that not only works but feels sustainable for you.
Thank you so much for this really honest review! Just as V Shred, the video is SO long and doesn´t say anything until you click at the end, to which I skipped, as it was obvious... $29 seemed to good, so when you mentioned the upselling, I´m really glad I didn´t sign up. I´m sure it may work for people, but I´m glad I didn´t sign up. Thank you! I´ve just been watching some of your other videos and I´m really enjoying them. 😊
Of course I think many people would get a result from this programme. But nothing is the magic fix. I believe in base health habits done consistently. Crash dieting is rarely the answer.
Loved your review! You keep it simple. I was very impressed how you continued to explain how important it is to examine our own relationships with food. Thank you for this honest and helpful review.❤
So glad it was helpful for you. After being in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years I have come to realise that mindset and how you approach your health and fitness really is part of the battle. Whilst it comes from a place of love for yourself and as a form of self care. That is when you will really find the plan and the habits that will last. Thanks for your kind comment, I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much! It's so nice to see refreshing reviews like yours. Your experience with this so-called weight-loss method was a real eye-opener for me, because I was hesitating to buy it, and thanks to you, I've given up the ide without regret. Thanks 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for your honesty and candor about this program and other such easy fix weight loss programs. It is refreshing to hear someone talking about the truth of these marketing ploys on vulnerable people who simply want to feel better about themselves.
Glad it was helpful! Truthfully I think a lot of the feeling better about yourself is about the mindset around health and fitness too. Restriction and banning foods is rarely the way to go. Start with the basics, take your time and approach your fitness and nutrition from a place of self care. I hope you make some huge leaps forward with it this year. Wishing you all the best.
I too was about to order her program. Instinct and knowledge told me it wasnt going to produce the uktimate results but for 29$ i was interested to see if i could lose 5 or 10 lbs. So i decided to search before i clicked purchase and ran across your video. Thanks for being the guinea pig and giving us the real 411. I'll stick to your suggestions and save myself the migraines (i suffer without food terribly) and the low energy and just focus on changing my habits. Thanks so much!!!🎉
I feel that having a phase of cutting out certain foods can be beneficial. But it's rarely sustainable and there lies the problem. You already know the things you need to cut back or be more consistent with. Do those things and keep going with it. Wishing you all the best on your health journey.
Appreciate your time & effort with this review. I appreciate your candid hands on demonstrations. I too was about to click on this ad. Having Brooke Burke who has always been fit as an endorsement adds to the allure. Of course, diminishing a chunk of your calories with a lean protein, veg & smoothie diet will help you reduce weight.
Hi Emma I just discovered your channel and I am so glad. Thank you for being so honest, last year I felt into that trap, some how I got sing up for a monthly payment that I did not approved and it was a big problem to contact anybody in customer service. After several calls I got this problem handle but it was a hassle . Thank you again for your unbiased opinion.
Yeah, and I get it. As fitness professionals we do have to make a living and get the sales. BUT it can be frustrating when it's buy this next things, then the next thing. It's just sometimes too much.
Glad you found it helpful. And yes it's the emotional energy that can be the biggest waste when it comes to programs like this. Truth is you probably know a lot of what you should be doing. So when you get started in the new year start with the basics. Eat less processed foods, prioritise protein in your diet, walk more, add in some strength training. Better sleep will help you achieve all of the above. And be consistent with it for at least 12 weeks before you think about switching gears. Wishing you all the best and hope you make the best start to your health and fitness in 2025!
Thank you so much for doing this and putting it out there on TH-cam! I'm glad I didn't sign up to it as I hate smoothy detox days. Ive tried it before on another diet and it tasted disgusting and I was absolutely starving. I'm mainly struggling to find easy recipes that are healthy.
I'm glad it was helpful for you. I actually love smoothies and do think if you get the balance right then they can really work well because they are quick and easy. Check out this blog post I did on creating the perfect smoothie emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/nutrition/breakfast/best-smoothie-ingredients-for-weight-loss/ And I do think that finding healthy recipes that you love is a big part of the battle. Once you can do that, you can find that you actually start to enjoy healthy foods and how they make you feel. I did really enjoy some of the recipes in the Metaboost plan, but there are lots of places you can find healthy recipes. Pinterest is a great place for that.
I almost signed up, I changed my mind when there was no PayPal. I then came across your video 5 minutes later, sadly many women like me post menopausal who are struggling with not only weight gain but also inflammation are desperate to lose weight, I am a young fit 64 year old and no matter what i do the weight won’t budge. For four years I did keto, lost 10kg but have gained 5 kg back, I need to lose a min of 10kg. Imagine the money one is making by charging a small amount of $29 for possibly thousands of desperate people.
Menopause certainly has a lot to answer for and it can be incredibly challenging especially when you feel as though you are doing all of the right things. I think diets such as this can possibly get things moving again however I find that most people will find this diet unsustainable. Whilst it's hard to give a blanket recommendation as I don't know your diet, exercise or lifestyle habits but it's possible there may be small changes you can make to see results.
Glad it was helpful! And trust yourself. If you have done many diets you likely know what to do to get started. Don’t over complicate it. Start with the basics and decide that this time you will stick with it for the long haul.
Thank you Very Much. I ' m from Brazil and I almost pay for her program... But before, I go Web to look some opinions, and I find your vídeo. You help me with this True vídeo. ❤
Thank you Emma you are the logic to all these gimmicks, everyones body is different. Can you tell me brand of ginger shots? or what to look for and what not to look for when purchasing. I am in the US
Glad it was helpful for you. As for ginger shots the best would be to just make them yourself. They are fairly cheap and easy to make and you can get recipes with a quick google or pintrest search. But if you do buy then the main thing you want to look for is the sugar content. The lower sugar the better.
Hi Emma. Thank you for your honesty. I viewed other individuals who attempted this diet and some where successful and some so so? In the end, I too did those crash diets and gained with weight back, if not more. I was almost convinced to purchased the program, until you mentioned the up-sale, up-sale; as on another review, the individual spoke about purchasing this and that, etc $$. I to lose and if not careful , gain it back quickly. I am a big bone girl, but have learned to embrace it , because you are also right about having family genes that do make a difference on what may or not work for you. I have lost weight and recently gained some back and trying to look for some quick fix, but after seeing your video and seeing how you keep it 100% real with legit facts, I became a follower to your site. and know I just have to eat what works with my body and continue to exercise. Thank you so much, as I know this Metaboost program is not overall for me.
I think this is the thing I want to share really. Whilst sometimes and for some people this kind of restrictive dieting can work, but for the most of us (me included) slow and steady is the way to go. Work on developing habits over time and focus on health above all else.
Loved your honesty. I am 55 and struggling with belly fat for the first time in my life since menopause. Where can I get your free 5 day kick start program?
It certainly can get a lot harder once you hit menopause. But there is a lot that you can still do. The kickstart challenge is at emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/kickstart
Thank you for the review, I myself have done both Vshred and the metabolic diet. I eat health for the most part but use these to kick start my body. Have you ever done a review on Gage girl training? Thanks again.
It's great that you are able to use these as a kickstart and then maintain inbetween. Sounds like you have found a good balance for you. And no I have not heard of them before. But I will look into and add to my list to review. Thanks so much for your comment, I really appreciate your input.
I agree. I enjoyed how quick, simple and nutritious the meals are. The exercises are ones I can do. I have lost weight. And yes, she bombards you with upselling and "partner" emails trying to also sell more. Just ignore those and stick to the basic. A lot of her recipes and exercises can be found for free on youtube
I have bought his one and done program but I'm not doing her diet atm. I have been on keto since May this year and lost almost 9 kg. I have had a cheating day every month and two whole cheating weeks that we went on holiday. It has worked for me so far🤞I don't count carbs or macros or anything, but I cannot have seeds or nuts more than once a week, there is something in them that stall me. I plan on carrying on with keto as I haven't achieved my goal weight yet and my BMI is a bit over the healthy limit. I do love walking and go to a 45 to 60 min when I can. I have also used IF in the past and it has allowed me to maintain.
I am on my day 9 on the Metabots connection challenge. I have seen an increased amount of energy, but to be honest, I haven't lost any weight at all. I have spent in 10 days my whole family food budget because every recipe requires different ingredients, which it makes it make it really hard since everything is portioned. I bought ingredients that were only used once at the beginning of my challenge, and they are sitting in my fridge because I am trying to stick as a T to the program, but mentally it is very exhausting. I even had a road trip this past weekend and cooked all my 2 days' recipes to stick on them, but it is hard because it takes you for the joy of enjoying with your family because this plan is also base on a schedule, so you should eat your meals and snack as required in the program. Tomorrow is my last day, which I am excited to complete for the first time this kind of diet is, but my bank is broke with all honesty, and the weight is still with me.
Well done for sticking to it. Having more energy is a really great win eve if it's been hard. I hope you will use up the ingredients and maybe try remaking some of the recipes. Thanks for sharing your experience as it's valuble feedback. I think we also always need to remember that lasting results will often take time. So try and continue to eat well going out of the challenge and the results can still come.
I agree with you! It's the kind of advertising that I have issue with, I feel like the health and fitness industry is improving but it needs to do better and not lie to people or overhype what they are selling. It really comes down to being a marketing issue though.
The only way to lose belly fat is calorie deficit and increase in protein, no sugar, no grains. That is the only way over 50 I’ve had success. It’s not a lifestyle that can be sustained long term. I did a CrossFit challenge , had to count macros and were in a calorie deficit, lost some wait, gained it back when I went off the strict diet and I generally eat very clean.
I did her 7 minute beginner level Great but couldn't continue in the middle. I'm now doing intermittent fasting with Simple. This program suits me best.
I have looked at that one a few times. I think from memory it ended up being really expensive to get the book. I’ll add it to my list of next to review. Thank you for your suggestion.
Muchas gracias, yo iba a adquirirlos x que ando en la premenopausia y me aterra subir de peso, mejor vuelvo a mi ayuno intermitente y listo, Dios te bendiga, excelente video, mucha estafa, lo que me iba a meter.
The ad makes it seem like you can eat whatever and you’re adding to not taking away. I’m so glad I didn’t purchase. There were no sample menus and I’m very upset I sat through her long stinking video. I feel like her video was false advertising. I lost all my weight originally with keto. I just didn’t incorporate my carbs back probably. I really was thinking when I was watching her that it would be water weight. Thank you so much.
This was really my main problem with these ads. The programme is nothing like she talks about in the ads. It's not that the programme is bad, its just not what was promised.
The only problem I see with this kind of diet is that it really minimizes protein. Our bodies are not made with veggies. Our muscles and bones need animal proteins (because they are bioidentical) and cholesterol. I don't think we need all the fats that the carnivores tend to push. So Lean meats, at least for me at my age, work best. But these mostly veggie/fruit diets and fasting tend to mean you lose muscle. Maybe try a PSMF, Protein sparing modified fast, a couple times a week. That is, high protein (to preserve muscle), low fat, low carb.
In one of the videos it said something about eating pizza. It was all in the combination of foods you eat. The video I watched tonight said that you actually eat more food, because your metabolism is higher. From what I saw on your video, it’s seems the diet basically starves you, like any other fad diet! Thank you for trying the diet and giving an honest review.
This is one of the main problems, the diet I got is not what she talks about in the adverts. No pizza in the diet I saw, it was low calorie and not something that I would have found sustainable. I did like some of the recipes, but it still comes back to severe restriction which I don't believe is ever the answer.
I had to try 3 different stores to find all of the ingredients for the metabolic flush and the metaboost, meal prep can take very long because the recipes have a lot of different ingredients (many but little quantity, 1/2 a cup, 1/4 of a cup etc.). And it's expensive, spirulina alone cost me 10 euros, apple cider vinegar, garlic salt, lots of different nuts and berries etc. Shopping, costs and preparation: tough
Sometimes I think that burning feeling is in my stomach. I mix some of the shopping list to be creative. I also put cinnamon in my water. I don't drink water enough and yes inflammation really is my problem. So I look for inflammation foods too.
Hi I join Meta boost for the 2nd time. July 23 I lost 10 pounds I was 192 . 182 now. Yes my grandkids are here again with family. Yes I am a emotional eater sometimes. And avoiding fast food places. Thank you
You know what DOES work??? Love Sweat fitness…. Katie Dunlop. She lost 45 lbs & kept it off for over 10 years. She also had a baby & stayed healthy & fit. She has an app that’s free. It’s $100 for the year if you want the videos & daily workouts. She uploads to TH-cam & gives meal prep ideas so you can buy the meal plans but I don’t I just watch her TH-cam videos & there’s more than enough meal ideas! So the BEST part of it is the commitment to her community. You do challenges several times a year & everyone keeps each other going so if you don’t feel motivated you do it for the other girls. It’s really awesome. I did it and lost 30 lbs after my son was born. Got back to pre baby weight and I’m 44 years old. Had my son at 40. So I really do recommend it & she has a few nutrition products. I love the collagen but I’ve tried most & they’re all good!!!
Wow that's incredible well done, thanks so much for sharing what worked for you. I have seen her TH-cam video's and was actually looking at her app the other week. So thanks for the reccomendation, I will be sure to check it otu.
Thank you for this review. As many others in the comments said, I was thinking of purchasing. But I wanted to see some samples of what it is that I would be eating more of if I tried it. From what I saw here she doesn't really keep her "promises". There are two, for me, huge reasons why this is unsustainable for me. My job is very physically and mentally demanding. I can't afford to be cranky and low on energy. This is, despite what she says, a very restrictive diet. The other reason is financial. I understand that salmon and avocado are healthy, but where I live, in a single person household, I can't afford to buy them constantly. Not to mention a weird reaction my body has to avocados. I find that lots of soups and stews with tons of different vegetables work best for me. Oat porridge with in season fruit is the best breakfast if I want to survive the shift at work. I do go up and down a few kg depending on the season, but at 47 I don't want to starve myself anymore. Again, thank you so much for saving me money and energy 💜
I am so glad this was helpful for you. I do think this diet is unsustainable for many people. With the amount of activity I do, it certainly was for me. And from what you say in your post it sounds like you already know what you need to do for you. If you have a very active job I would focus more on the nutrition side. Making sure you are getting enough protein in your diet to sustain your hunger and energy levels. Aim for targeting 30g of protein per meal to start with (obviously that a ver general guide without knowing your specific requirements) Batch cook meals so it's more affordable and time efficient. Focus on nourishment rather than restriction and also stress management and making sure you are getting enough good quality sleep as that will be key for a busy person such as yourself So make that plan for yourself, maybe you could enrol some friends or family to do it together to work on the level of accountability as that is often a key area for a lot of people when they are getting started in the new year. Wishing you all the best for you new year health and fitness goals.
I’m trying to sign up to get your free five day kicks start but I can’t put my email in…it has something in that area when I click to put email it takes me to something (?). Weird. Hopefully just a glitch. I’ll try to sign up another time. I want to watch more videos of yours 😊
Apologies for the late reply on this. I have just checked the page, and it seems to be working ok at the moment. Sorry if you have had issues. If you still haven't been able to join if you send me an email at info@emmacolseynicholls.com and I can sort that out for you.
I too was almost sucked in my her marketing and I’m glad you have done this video. What I don’t understand is all the moaning about your experience 😂 ya, it’s shit being in any restrictive eating plan but hey, that’s a part of it that you knew would happen so… 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah I do feel this plan is too restrictive for long term sustainability, at least that was my experience. I suppose it's the ads that people have the problem with where she talks about being able to eat pizza still. I did not see any pizza on the meal plan I recieved.
Glad it was helpful! I think there are times when we can dial down on our habits a little more intensely. But ultimately it will only last if we can maintain the majority of it. Glad this was helpful for you.
Hi.I too was going to buy the program and I appreciate your review. Can you please send me the Free 5 day start up program to rid the body of belly&al fat!! Thank you,Mary.1:10pm Toronto,Ontario, Canada.
I understand why you posted your review. As a health coach myself, I see her endlessly talking and mentioning a plethora of herbs, spices, plants and superfoods that we all know about as though she discovered "gold". In essence, the over upsell was a complete turn off. She struck Hollywood gold by having a celebrity endorse her. Spiralina isn't as great as other algaes. My background is Ayurveda and she just mentions some of the Ayurvedic herbs and a melange of the kitchen sink. Maybe this is designed to get picked up in a keyword search for search engine optimization.
This is a lifestyle diet though not a crash diet. Also, you didn’t exactly stick to the exact ingredients as far as I saw and that is important. I do agree with some of your comments about the program, especially the marketing promises but I lost two stone and have kept it off and feel much healthier and have more energy these days in her program
It really is wonderful that you have found something that has worked well for you, and thanks for sharing your experience. I certainly didn't find this a lifestyle diet though. This diet is way too low calorie for me to be able to sustain.
There are so many of these great 'marketing' one pages - its easy to get taken in - brainwashed. We have all done it and got roped in with other people so called results. Glad I saw this video to stop me. The 5 so called super foods in this diet we all know should be our diet. All its done for me is to get back into using them and more veges.
Yes they are eveywhere. Which is why I like to try them out and help people decipher what’s worth the money and what’s not. And yes basically we all know we could probably do with eating more veggies.
I subscribed to your channel because you are honest. I was so disappointed in Meredith Shrik. She sounded so honest and so upfront. I said, "What is the big deal investing 29 dollars in my health? I was surprised with all the deceptive upsales. I couldn't believe the deception. I can't support her. I will call and cancel the 29 dollars. Sorry but Mere's approach is unethical.
I also don't like all of the upsell methods, but it's so common now on many programmes and I understand that it's a business model. But all I want is for the health and fitness industry to be a little more open and honest.
I don’t think it’s fair to target one program when there are so many out there that are upselling like Beachbody. You may be right about eating habits but not right to target someone’s business. Again this is just my opinion like you say in your video 🙏🏼 oh wait a min, you are advertising your free kickstart program at the end (i just read the comments) now that’s just right madam!
It is not my intention to target anyones business, I try to give a balanced review as there were certainly some things in this plan (such as the recipes) that I really did enjoy. I truly believe that most fitness professionals do actually want to help people. But in my honest opinion there are better was to do it, and I don't think that crash diets are the answer. And it's just that....my opinion as someone who has been in the health and fitness industry for 20+ years. I have done lots of reviews on my channel and some really positive ones that I would highly recomend to people such as MindPump. They deliver solid and evidence based work, they are doing it the right way and I would reccomend people check them out above all others I have reviews so far. There are good and bad programmes out there, the purpose of my channel is to help people make more informed buying decisions on health and fitness products, not just to trash people for the sake of it. There is so much BS out there and I believe that the industry should be doing better.
Yes as being in the beauty and film industry and wellness. I been here for 3 weeks I lost 4 lbs and my stomach is going and gaining muscle. So I appreciate this and planning food is important.
I agree with you that if you're selling a product under the assumption that you only need to do X and then you're told to also do B @C then its all hype, or a marketing strategy. For that misinformed, i wont be subscribing. Thanks for your research. I wish i had the smoothly recipe though 😕
It is mostly the marketing of these type of products that I have issue with. Most of the things she talks about in her ads isn't even there in the program. I get that people need to sell their programs but as an industry we need more people that share the facts instead of hyped up BS. I did enjoy some of her recipes. I recently did a video on making the perfectly balanced smoothie. You can watch that here if you are interested th-cam.com/video/f5Y7VfIrdWM/w-d-xo.html
A shame the add won't let you make comments. Her ridiculousness is off charts "eat X before you poop" Good food is good REGARDLESS when you eat it. Avoid process junk & Brands: Sugar, Oil, flour, cookies, pizza, burger, etc. Buy Brandless Vegetables, fresh meats, Nuts, Fruits, etc. Stop searching for a single magic supplement & fix your freaking diet.
Sorry, you don't look very healthy to me and compared to Meredith ummm... Yeah enough said. Also, I see you also have a fitness plan. Surprise Surprise! so your trashing your competition to hawk your own product.
We could all eat the same food and do the same exercises and we would all still have different bodies. Health and indeed happiness is more than what your body looks like. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Well it’s a good job my goal with my videos isn’t to look professional or attractive. I’m not trying to be anything other than myself and help people make informed buying decisions.
Do you mean my kickstart plan. It’s not really a diet, more health and lifestyle habits to get started with. You can get that at emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/kickstart
I am so happy to see this! I also joined but soon realised that it's just a keto based programme which can't be done forever. I guess i expected some magic... It sadly was not.
I crashed after 4 weeks and crashed badly...
I thought I was alone. So very happy to see this!
You are certainly not alone. I think this diet is unsustainable for most people.
Hi Emma. I loved the honesty of your approach and information. We are so bombarded with ads and marketing that it’s hard to know what to believe. Thanks so much and keep it up. You’ve gained a follower.
Ah I'm so happy to hear, thanks for subscribing it means a lot and glad this was helpful for you.
You are amazing!! I am SOOOOOO thankful you did this review, because I saw her ad on facebook and clicked it and was drawn into her video. I was soooo close to purchasing, but I decided to do some more research and just happened upon your youtube review, and boy am I so glad that I did! You are amazing and I thank you for sharing your honesty and vulnerability with us so that we might stop the neverending cycle of crash yo yo dieting! 💜 You are a rock star XO
Ah thank you for such a lovely comment, and I am so happy this review was helpful for you. I'm sure her plan has helped people, but I just felt it wasnt sustainable for most. Slow and steady is the way to go, ground yourself in the basics and be consistent. Wishing you all the best for 2025.
I tried her program and I love it! I have sustained the weight and learned to not eat certain things that created inflammation
I appreciate your feedback and experience. So glad it worked well for you and you were able to find something that you can sustain. That's awesome, well done!
I love it too. Even though I know clean eating is the best to do, I need a meal plan for me commit. Really, it is hard to get started with all the grocery shopping and fitting everything into the fridge, and doing separate meals, but losing all the weight would be hard so if this plan helps, say do it. I'm down 25 lbs and will keep her clean eating tips with me foreve.
Me too!
I’m glad I decided to look that program up and found your video! I was about to put my card’s info. In even though I was skeptical. I figured if anything I’d have some recipes. But now I’m going to save some money. I agree with every you say about it. 😊
Glad it was helpful for you. I appreciate this comment x
I am starting to listen to you. I believe a bit of what you are saying. However, I did the original $29. And have been loosing. The diet is pretty much raw, and I feel amazing. I agree that if I go back to the way I used to eat, I will gain back weight. But it sure is a good way to hold yourself accountable. We have to plan what we eat or we plan to fail. I do the morning drink and lunch is a salad for me. Dinner is the smoothie unless I am fixing for hubby, then I do what I fix for him. She has a ton of exercises on you-tube and I am doing those. I just choose one and do it. Plus I walk. So we shall see, I am down 10 lbs.
Cómo podría ver el vídeo en español? Me interesa
Me too! Saved me some $$$
Thank you!! I also was close to giving my card info until I found you. I have Lupus and thought maybe I could get rid of inflammation. I do agree with everything you say. Do you mind to tell me about the ginger shots?
Thank you so much! Like others here mentioned, I was about to purchase, as the marketing did hook me. In googling it separately, I found your video and appreciate the time you took to go through it, as I now know it’s not for me!
Glad I could help!
Thank you, Emma. I was almost sucked in. I'm 46 and pre menopausal. I was on her checkout page for the $29 and felt that inner nudge to check out reviews. I read some and then came to your review. You just saved me $29. Thank you!!!! ❤
I'm glad it was helpful for you. Truth is we often all want a little kickstart in the New Year and it will work as it's so low calorie. But it's just not sustainable for most people. Start with the basics of just eating better, moving your body and prioritising sleep. Prioritise protein in your diet and introduce strength training if you aren't already. Do what you know already and choose to stick with it. Wishing you all the best.

Too late for me…
Thank you so much for saving me money! Definitely trust your review more than someone who has been an athlete all her life and who admittedly hadn't had similar issues with me growing up.. I really appreciate your openness, this is what makes your review stand out as honest. Cheers!
I think people often feel that if they look and train just like the person selling a product that they too could look like them. We need to appreciate we all have different challenges, different relationships with food and also different sizes and shapes of bodies. Improved health and fitness will come from sticking with the basics consistently, building good food lifestyle habits that will last for life.
I'm glad the review was helpful for you, I appreciate your comment.
Thank you Emma. Everything in the video is what I felt deep inside, but I needed to hear it. Thank you for the time you spent making the video. Loved the scenery on your walk! You are wonderful and so beautiful!
I'm so glad! xx
I am happy to have found your review. Always sound to good to be true. Thank you for your input.
Hi Emma, this was super helpful………I nearly went ahead with her program, I like her exercises but I think I will do water I normally do and eat clean & lots of water as that’s what works for me, don’t get me wrong some days I “ fall off “ the wagon but I know what to do for my own body…….thanks Emma 🙌🏽😊
Glad it was helpful for you. This is what I find with most people that you already know what you need to be doing and what will work for you. You also don't have to be perfect to make progress. This video may be helpful where I go over some of the basics that I think most women should start with th-cam.com/video/U7Nqr8Zfzkk/w-d-xo.html
Wishing you all the best with your 2025 health and fitness intentions x
I respect all opinions and some things may not be for everyone. I have enjoyed this program so much. I was excited to join and im glad that I did with much success. I was 150 and wanted to hit my target weight of 130. I’m almost there. Most of all i have enjoyed the smoothies because i had no clue as to how a green smoothie could ever taste good and just love the ginger intake as well.
Thanks for sharing you experience. It's good to have inputs from so many different people and this is just my own personal experience and opinion. There are some recipes in there that I loved too and will continue to use. You have found something that works for you and thats wonderful. Keep up the good work, I hope you have continued success.
so glad i found your video before I paid! I am in my fifties and that diet would never work for me. been there done that just like you! thanks for the honesty
Thanks!
Wow this is so kind of you. I am incredibly grateful and it really means a lot.
Thank you Emma!!! In a desperate place looking for the magic! Your honest review is so awesome and saved me not only 💵- more importantly saved me from once again losing hope and even more self esteem!!
Oh lovely, I know it can feel desperate at times, but I hope you can start to approach it from a space of self care. Know it can take a little time. But the slow and steady approach is by far the best in my opinion. Get grounded in the basics. Work on improving your daily walking, reduce processed foods and prioritise protein in your diet and if you are not already then incorporate some strength training.
I'm wishing you all the best for 2025 and hope that you can find something that not only works but feels sustainable for you.
Thank you so much for this really honest review! Just as V Shred, the video is SO long and doesn´t say anything until you click at the end, to which I skipped, as it was obvious... $29 seemed to good, so when you mentioned the upselling, I´m really glad I didn´t sign up. I´m sure it may work for people, but I´m glad I didn´t sign up. Thank you! I´ve just been watching some of your other videos and I´m really enjoying them. 😊
Of course I think many people would get a result from this programme. But nothing is the magic fix. I believe in base health habits done consistently. Crash dieting is rarely the answer.
Loved your review! You keep it simple. I was very impressed how you continued to explain how important it is to examine our own relationships with food.
Thank you for this honest and helpful review.❤
So glad it was helpful for you. After being in the health and fitness industry for over 20 years I have come to realise that mindset and how you approach your health and fitness really is part of the battle. Whilst it comes from a place of love for yourself and as a form of self care. That is when you will really find the plan and the habits that will last.
Thanks for your kind comment, I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much! It's so nice to see refreshing reviews like yours. Your experience with this so-called weight-loss method was a real eye-opener for me, because I was hesitating to buy it, and thanks to you, I've given up the ide without regret.
Thanks
👍👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your honesty and candor about this program and other such easy fix weight loss programs. It is refreshing to hear someone talking about the truth of these marketing ploys on vulnerable people who simply want to feel better about themselves.
Glad it was helpful! Truthfully I think a lot of the feeling better about yourself is about the mindset around health and fitness too. Restriction and banning foods is rarely the way to go. Start with the basics, take your time and approach your fitness and nutrition from a place of self care.
I hope you make some huge leaps forward with it this year. Wishing you all the best.
I too was about to order her program. Instinct and knowledge told me it wasnt going to produce the uktimate results but for 29$ i was interested to see if i could lose 5 or 10 lbs. So i decided to search before i clicked purchase and ran across your video. Thanks for being the guinea pig and giving us the real 411. I'll stick to your suggestions and save myself the migraines (i suffer without food terribly) and the low energy and just focus on changing my habits. Thanks so much!!!🎉
I feel that having a phase of cutting out certain foods can be beneficial. But it's rarely sustainable and there lies the problem. You already know the things you need to cut back or be more consistent with. Do those things and keep going with it. Wishing you all the best on your health journey.
I almost signed up so glad i found this review. Thankyou
Appreciate your time & effort with this review. I appreciate your candid hands on demonstrations. I too was about to click on this ad. Having Brooke Burke who has always been fit as an endorsement adds to the allure. Of course, diminishing a chunk of your calories with a lean protein, veg & smoothie diet will help you reduce weight.
Glad it was helpful! You already know many of the steps you need to take.
This program 100% worked for me. I've only been practicing it for a few months, but I learned so much, and I now have new staples in my meals. 😊
That's so great it worked for you, thanks for sharing your experience. I did really enjoy some of the recipes.
Hi Emma I just discovered your channel and I am so glad.
Thank you for being so honest, last year I felt into that trap, some how I got sing up for a monthly payment that I did not approved and it was a big problem to contact anybody in customer service.
After several calls I got this problem handle but it was a hassle .
Thank you again for your unbiased opinion.
Thank you for your lovely comment and I am so glad you found this review helpful.
Hi I did sign up but then the shear about of emails continually pushing to sign up to the monthly payments did my head in!! Not for me!
Yeah, and I get it. As fitness professionals we do have to make a living and get the sales. BUT it can be frustrating when it's buy this next things, then the next thing. It's just sometimes too much.
HUGE THANKS for sparing me the time, money, and emotional energy.
Glad you found it helpful. And yes it's the emotional energy that can be the biggest waste when it comes to programs like this. Truth is you probably know a lot of what you should be doing. So when you get started in the new year start with the basics. Eat less processed foods, prioritise protein in your diet, walk more, add in some strength training. Better sleep will help you achieve all of the above. And be consistent with it for at least 12 weeks before you think about switching gears. Wishing you all the best and hope you make the best start to your health and fitness in 2025!
Love this video, thank you. It helped me make my decision. You are truly appreciated.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for doing this and putting it out there on TH-cam! I'm glad I didn't sign up to it as I hate smoothy detox days. Ive tried it before on another diet and it tasted disgusting and I was absolutely starving. I'm mainly struggling to find easy recipes that are healthy.
I'm glad it was helpful for you. I actually love smoothies and do think if you get the balance right then they can really work well because they are quick and easy. Check out this blog post I did on creating the perfect smoothie emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/nutrition/breakfast/best-smoothie-ingredients-for-weight-loss/
And I do think that finding healthy recipes that you love is a big part of the battle. Once you can do that, you can find that you actually start to enjoy healthy foods and how they make you feel.
I did really enjoy some of the recipes in the Metaboost plan, but there are lots of places you can find healthy recipes. Pinterest is a great place for that.
I almost signed up, I changed my mind when there was no PayPal. I then came across your video 5 minutes later, sadly many women like me post menopausal who are struggling with not only weight gain but also inflammation are desperate to lose weight, I am a young fit 64 year old and no matter what i do the weight won’t budge. For four years I did keto, lost 10kg but have gained 5 kg back, I need to lose a min of 10kg. Imagine the money one is making by charging a small amount of $29 for possibly thousands of desperate people.
Menopause certainly has a lot to answer for and it can be incredibly challenging especially when you feel as though you are doing all of the right things.
I think diets such as this can possibly get things moving again however I find that most people will find this diet unsustainable.
Whilst it's hard to give a blanket recommendation as I don't know your diet, exercise or lifestyle habits but it's possible there may be small changes you can make to see results.
I’m glad I watched your video. I have spent so much money on useless diets in the past. Thank you!!
Glad it was helpful! And trust yourself. If you have done many diets you likely know what to do to get started. Don’t over complicate it. Start with the basics and decide that this time you will stick with it for the long haul.
Thank you Very Much. I ' m from Brazil and I almost pay for her program... But before, I go Web to look some opinions, and I find your vídeo. You help me with this True vídeo. ❤
You are welcome!
Love this video…thank you so much for sharing. 😊
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for your review.
Where can I find the five day crush diet that you have mentioned ? I would like to try yet.
just a mention frozen fish is fresher then the fresh fish in the butcher case; because, it is processed and frozen just after being caught
Yes but I do find it doesn't taste quite as good when frozen.
Thank you Emma you are the logic to all these gimmicks, everyones body is different.
Can you tell me brand of ginger shots? or what to look for and what not to look for when purchasing. I am in the US
Glad it was helpful for you. As for ginger shots the best would be to just make them yourself. They are fairly cheap and easy to make and you can get recipes with a quick google or pintrest search. But if you do buy then the main thing you want to look for is the sugar content. The lower sugar the better.
Hi Emma. Thank you for your honesty. I viewed other individuals who attempted this diet and some where successful and some so so? In the end, I too did those crash diets and gained with weight back, if not more. I was almost convinced to purchased the program, until you mentioned the up-sale, up-sale; as on another review, the individual spoke about purchasing this and that, etc $$. I to lose and if not careful , gain it back quickly. I am a big bone girl, but have learned to embrace it , because you are also right about having family genes that do make a difference on what may or not work for you. I have lost weight and recently gained some back and trying to look for some quick fix, but after seeing your video and seeing how you keep it 100% real with legit facts, I became a follower to your site. and know I just have to eat what works with my body and continue to exercise. Thank you so much, as I know this Metaboost program is not overall for me.
I think this is the thing I want to share really. Whilst sometimes and for some people this kind of restrictive dieting can work, but for the most of us (me included) slow and steady is the way to go. Work on developing habits over time and focus on health above all else.
Thank you so much for your review.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the honest review!
Always!
Loved your honesty. I am 55 and struggling with belly fat for the first time in my life since menopause. Where can I get your free 5 day kick start program?
It certainly can get a lot harder once you hit menopause. But there is a lot that you can still do. The kickstart challenge is at emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/kickstart
Can you put up the recipe for the ginger shots
Thank you for this very balanced and informative review
I was close to buying her $29.00 programme too. Thanks for the review, Emma, it has to be sustainable to be any use.
Glad it was helpful for you x
Thank you for the review, I myself have done both Vshred and the metabolic diet. I eat health for the most part but use these to kick start my body. Have you ever done a review on Gage girl training? Thanks again.
It's great that you are able to use these as a kickstart and then maintain inbetween. Sounds like you have found a good balance for you. And no I have not heard of them before. But I will look into and add to my list to review.
Thanks so much for your comment, I really appreciate your input.
@@emmacolseynicholls1, gauge girl
Hi Emma, where do I find your five day kickstart challenge?
Here at emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/kickstart
But it works, and it really isn't that much for the meal plan. As long as you ignore her extra marketing stuff, it's good.
I do think it's an affordable plan. I also did take some good things away from it and will use many of the recipes again.
I agree. I enjoyed how quick, simple and nutritious the meals are. The exercises are ones I can do. I have lost weight. And yes, she bombards you with upselling and "partner" emails trying to also sell more. Just ignore those and stick to the basic. A lot of her recipes and exercises can be found for free on youtube
Where is the link to the free fat loss Foods you mentioned
I have bought his one and done program but I'm not doing her diet atm. I have been on keto since May this year and lost almost 9 kg. I have had a cheating day every month and two whole cheating weeks that we went on holiday. It has worked for me so far🤞I don't count carbs or macros or anything, but I cannot have seeds or nuts more than once a week, there is something in them that stall me. I plan on carrying on with keto as I haven't achieved my goal weight yet and my BMI is a bit over the healthy limit. I do love walking and go to a 45 to 60 min when I can. I have also used IF in the past and it has allowed me to maintain.
So great you have found what works for you. Thanks for sharing your experience.
I am on my day 9 on the Metabots connection challenge. I have seen an increased amount of energy, but to be honest, I haven't lost any weight at all. I have spent in 10 days my whole family food budget because every recipe requires different ingredients, which it makes it make it really hard since everything is portioned. I bought ingredients that were only used once at the beginning of my challenge, and they are sitting in my fridge because I am trying to stick as a T to the program, but mentally it is very exhausting. I even had a road trip this past weekend and cooked all my 2 days' recipes to stick on them, but it is hard because it takes you for the joy of enjoying with your family because this plan is also base on a schedule, so you should eat your meals and snack as required in the program. Tomorrow is my last day, which I am excited to complete for the first time this kind of diet is, but my bank is broke with all honesty, and the weight is still with me.
Well done for sticking to it. Having more energy is a really great win eve if it's been hard. I hope you will use up the ingredients and maybe try remaking some of the recipes. Thanks for sharing your experience as it's valuble feedback. I think we also always need to remember that lasting results will often take time. So try and continue to eat well going out of the challenge and the results can still come.
This is a misleading advertising then. I really don't like this kind of advertising. It's dishonest. Thank you very much for your honest opinion! :)
I agree with you! It's the kind of advertising that I have issue with, I feel like the health and fitness industry is improving but it needs to do better and not lie to people or overhype what they are selling. It really comes down to being a marketing issue though.
It's not 29 dollars even...yes! I spent so much money and had to call to cancel. It was so deceptive.
The only way to lose belly fat is calorie deficit and increase in protein, no sugar, no grains. That is the only way over 50 I’ve had success. It’s not a lifestyle that can be sustained long term. I did a CrossFit challenge , had to count macros and were in a calorie deficit, lost some wait, gained it back when I went off the strict diet and I generally eat very clean.
So what is a good program 🤔
I agree I ordered a book on Amazon kinda dumb
I did her 7 minute beginner level Great but couldn't continue in the middle. I'm now
doing intermittent fasting with Simple. This program suits me best.
So great that you have now been able to find something that works for you. Keep up the great work.
What about Beyond Body??
I have looked at that one a few times. I think from memory it ended up being really expensive to get the book. I’ll add it to my list of next to review. Thank you for your suggestion.
Muchas gracias, yo iba a adquirirlos x que ando en la premenopausia y me aterra subir de peso, mejor vuelvo a mi ayuno intermitente y listo, Dios te bendiga, excelente video, mucha estafa, lo que me iba a meter.

@@deborahgoldstein8708 you get join the kickstart at emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/kickstart
The ad makes it seem like you can eat whatever and you’re adding to not taking away. I’m so glad I didn’t purchase. There were no sample menus and I’m very upset I sat through her long stinking video. I feel like her video was false advertising. I lost all my weight originally with keto. I just didn’t incorporate my carbs back probably. I really was thinking when I was watching her that it would be water weight. Thank you so much.
This was really my main problem with these ads. The programme is nothing like she talks about in the ads. It's not that the programme is bad, its just not what was promised.
The only problem I see with this kind of diet is that it really minimizes protein. Our bodies are not made with veggies. Our muscles and bones need animal proteins (because they are bioidentical) and cholesterol. I don't think we need all the fats that the carnivores tend to push. So Lean meats, at least for me at my age, work best. But these mostly veggie/fruit diets and fasting tend to mean you lose muscle. Maybe try a PSMF, Protein sparing modified fast, a couple times a week. That is, high protein (to preserve muscle), low fat, low carb.
Yes I think that one of the most important factors is in preserving muscle and so adequate protein is key.
Plenty of people and cultures live healthy lives with muscle without animal protein.
In one of the videos it said something about eating pizza. It was all in the combination of foods you eat. The video I watched tonight said that you actually eat more food, because your metabolism is higher. From what I saw on your video, it’s seems the diet basically starves you, like any other fad diet! Thank you for trying the diet and giving an honest review.
This is one of the main problems, the diet I got is not what she talks about in the adverts. No pizza in the diet I saw, it was low calorie and not something that I would have found sustainable. I did like some of the recipes, but it still comes back to severe restriction which I don't believe is ever the answer.
I had to try 3 different stores to find all of the ingredients for the metabolic flush and the metaboost, meal prep can take very long because the recipes have a lot of different ingredients (many but little quantity, 1/2 a cup, 1/4 of a cup etc.). And it's expensive, spirulina alone cost me 10 euros, apple cider vinegar, garlic salt, lots of different nuts and berries etc. Shopping, costs and preparation: tough
Sometimes I think that burning feeling is in my stomach. I mix some of the shopping list to be creative. I also put cinnamon in my water. I don't drink water enough and yes inflammation really is my problem. So I look for inflammation foods too.
Sounds great! Good hydration should always be a top starting point.
Hi I join Meta boost for the 2nd time. July 23 I lost 10 pounds I was 192 . 182 now. Yes my grandkids are here again with family. Yes I am a emotional eater sometimes. And avoiding fast food places. Thank you
Thanks really honest and helpful review
Glad it was helpful!
You know what DOES work??? Love Sweat fitness…. Katie Dunlop. She lost 45 lbs & kept it off for over 10 years. She also had a baby & stayed healthy & fit. She has an app that’s free. It’s $100 for the year if you want the videos & daily workouts. She uploads to TH-cam & gives meal prep ideas so you can buy the meal plans but I don’t I just watch her TH-cam videos & there’s more than enough meal ideas! So the BEST part of it is the commitment to her community. You do challenges several times a year & everyone keeps each other going so if you don’t feel motivated you do it for the other girls. It’s really awesome. I did it and lost 30 lbs after my son was born. Got back to pre baby weight and I’m 44 years old. Had my son at 40. So I really do recommend it & she has a few nutrition products. I love the collagen but I’ve tried most & they’re all good!!!
Wow that's incredible well done, thanks so much for sharing what worked for you. I have seen her TH-cam video's and was actually looking at her app the other week. So thanks for the reccomendation, I will be sure to check it otu.
Thank you for this review.
As many others in the comments said, I was thinking of purchasing. But I wanted to see some samples of what it is that I would be eating more of if I tried it. From what I saw here she doesn't really keep her "promises". There are two, for me, huge reasons why this is unsustainable for me.
My job is very physically and mentally demanding. I can't afford to be cranky and low on energy. This is, despite what she says, a very restrictive diet.
The other reason is financial. I understand that salmon and avocado are healthy, but where I live, in a single person household, I can't afford to buy them constantly. Not to mention a weird reaction my body has to avocados.
I find that lots of soups and stews with tons of different vegetables work best for me. Oat porridge with in season fruit is the best breakfast if I want to survive the shift at work. I do go up and down a few kg depending on the season, but at 47 I don't want to starve myself anymore.
Again, thank you so much for saving me money and energy 💜
I am so glad this was helpful for you. I do think this diet is unsustainable for many people. With the amount of activity I do, it certainly was for me. And from what you say in your post it sounds like you already know what you need to do for you.
If you have a very active job I would focus more on the nutrition side. Making sure you are getting enough protein in your diet to sustain your hunger and energy levels. Aim for targeting 30g of protein per meal to start with (obviously that a ver general guide without knowing your specific requirements) Batch cook meals so it's more affordable and time efficient. Focus on nourishment rather than restriction and also stress management and making sure you are getting enough good quality sleep as that will be key for a busy person such as yourself
So make that plan for yourself, maybe you could enrol some friends or family to do it together to work on the level of accountability as that is often a key area for a lot of people when they are getting started in the new year.
Wishing you all the best for you new year health and fitness goals.

Great review!!!
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you for your Review!
Glad it was helpful!
I too was almost sucked in my her marketing and I’m glad you have done this video. What I don’t understand is all the moaning about your experience 😂 ya, it’s shit being in any restrictive eating plan but hey, that’s a part of it that you knew would happen so… 🤷🏼♀️
Yeah I do feel this plan is too restrictive for long term sustainability, at least that was my experience. I suppose it's the ads that people have the problem with where she talks about being able to eat pizza still. I did not see any pizza on the meal plan I recieved.
Thank you. I am glad I found your review. Sustainability is key!!!
Glad it was helpful! I think there are times when we can dial down on our habits a little more intensely. But ultimately it will only last if we can maintain the majority of it. Glad this was helpful for you.

Thank you!
You're welcome! I appreciate your comment and glad it was helpful for you.
This was so good. There is great information from Megan Ramos how to get rid of PCOS
Thanks for the suggestion I will look into her work.
I understand why you posted your review. As a health coach myself, I see her endlessly talking and mentioning a plethora of herbs, spices, plants and superfoods that we all know about as though she discovered "gold". In essence, the over upsell was a complete turn off. She struck Hollywood gold by having a celebrity endorse her. Spiralina isn't as great as other algaes. My background is Ayurveda and she just mentions some of the Ayurvedic herbs and a melange of the kitchen sink. Maybe this is designed to get picked up in a keyword search for search engine optimization.
This is a lifestyle diet though not a crash diet. Also, you didn’t exactly stick to the exact ingredients as far as I saw and that is important. I do agree with some of your comments about the program, especially the marketing promises but I lost two stone and have kept it off and feel much healthier and have more energy these days in her program
It really is wonderful that you have found something that has worked well for you, and thanks for sharing your experience. I certainly didn't find this a lifestyle diet though. This diet is way too low calorie for me to be able to sustain.
Love your honest review.. Your video is informative and honest in what the program provides! I won't be purchasing the program.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks cause i was about to sigh she sounded so convincing.
I’ve lost 10 pds on her program , working on my next 10 pds
Well done on your success. It's great that you have found something that works for you and that you can stick with.

There are so many of these great 'marketing' one pages - its easy to get taken in - brainwashed. We have all done it and got roped in with other people so called results. Glad I saw this video to stop me. The 5 so called super foods in this diet we all know should be our diet. All its done for me is to get back into using them and more veges.
Yes they are eveywhere. Which is why I like to try them out and help people decipher what’s worth the money and what’s not. And yes basically we all know we could probably do with eating more veggies.
Thanks!!!
Thank you for this. You saved me $30.
Glad I could help!
I subscribed to your channel because you are honest. I was so disappointed in Meredith Shrik. She sounded so honest and so upfront. I said, "What is the big deal investing 29 dollars in my health? I was surprised with all the deceptive upsales. I couldn't believe the deception. I can't support her. I will call and cancel the 29 dollars. Sorry but Mere's approach is unethical.
I also don't like all of the upsell methods, but it's so common now on many programmes and I understand that it's a business model. But all I want is for the health and fitness industry to be a little more open and honest.
Really? You thought that Meredith person seems sincere? I think she sounds fake and scammy AF! 😂
Glad you didn't fall for it though. 👍
Thank you
Yes consistency
It seem to work.
I don’t think it’s fair to target one program when there are so many out there that are upselling like Beachbody.
You may be right about eating habits but not right to target someone’s business.
Again this is just my opinion like you say in your video 🙏🏼 oh wait a min, you are advertising your free kickstart program at the end (i just read the comments) now that’s just right madam!
It is not my intention to target anyones business, I try to give a balanced review as there were certainly some things in this plan (such as the recipes) that I really did enjoy. I truly believe that most fitness professionals do actually want to help people. But in my honest opinion there are better was to do it, and I don't think that crash diets are the answer. And it's just that....my opinion as someone who has been in the health and fitness industry for 20+ years. I have done lots of reviews on my channel and some really positive ones that I would highly recomend to people such as MindPump. They deliver solid and evidence based work, they are doing it the right way and I would reccomend people check them out above all others I have reviews so far. There are good and bad programmes out there, the purpose of my channel is to help people make more informed buying decisions on health and fitness products, not just to trash people for the sake of it. There is so much BS out there and I believe that the industry should be doing better.
Yes as being in the beauty and film industry and wellness. I been here for 3 weeks I lost 4 lbs and my stomach is going and gaining muscle. So I appreciate this and planning food is important.
Just seeing the recipes you made I realize they aren’t going to be something that I can do.
I did enjoy some of the recipes but very hard to stick to.
I agree with you that if you're selling a product under the assumption that you only need to do X and then you're told to also do B @C then its all hype, or a marketing strategy. For that misinformed, i wont be subscribing. Thanks for your research. I wish i had the smoothly recipe though 😕
It is mostly the marketing of these type of products that I have issue with. Most of the things she talks about in her ads isn't even there in the program. I get that people need to sell their programs but as an industry we need more people that share the facts instead of hyped up BS.
I did enjoy some of her recipes. I recently did a video on making the perfectly balanced smoothie. You can watch that here if you are interested th-cam.com/video/f5Y7VfIrdWM/w-d-xo.html
A shame the add won't let you make comments.
Her ridiculousness is off charts "eat X before you poop"
Good food is good REGARDLESS when you eat it.
Avoid process junk & Brands: Sugar, Oil, flour, cookies, pizza, burger, etc.
Buy Brandless Vegetables, fresh meats, Nuts, Fruits, etc.
Stop searching for a single magic supplement & fix your freaking diet.
@@ArielLorusso say it louder for those at the back 🙌
Good to know she's lied like I thought
So much get's overhyped. Certainly no pizza in it like she talks about in the adverts.
Sorry, you don't look very healthy to me and compared to Meredith ummm... Yeah enough said. Also, I see you also have a fitness plan. Surprise Surprise! so your trashing your competition to hawk your own product.
We could all eat the same food and do the same exercises and we would all still have different bodies. Health and indeed happiness is more than what your body looks like. I hope you have a wonderful day.
I felt the same. I did not expect another check out my plan at the end either
Sleeves would look more professional and attractive visually
Well it’s a good job my goal with my videos isn’t to look professional or attractive. I’m not trying to be anything other than myself and help people make informed buying decisions.
Thank you for your review.
Where can I find the five day crush diet that you have mentioned ? I would like to try yet.
Do you mean my kickstart plan. It’s not really a diet, more health and lifestyle habits to get started with. You can get that at emmacolseynicholls.co.uk/kickstart
