How to Cancel RP Diet Coach

Long story short, I’m nearly 40, a homeschooling mom of 3 and obese for most of my life. Been on this journey for 8 years now learning how to deal with my physical and emotional food addictions. Also learning how to develop discipline and consistency in exercise. Recently started training with a trainer but had trouble losing weight even though I’m gaining strength. Been on the RP diet for 2 weeks and lost 5.5 lbs!! Love how easy it is to meal plan and the reminders to eat! Makes it so easy to get the needed macros and calorie deficit all while cooking for my family of 5 and keeping house and homeschooling among other things. Wish this app had more marketing toward my demographic but I’m so thankful I found it. Wasn’t sure it would work for me because I felt it was geared toward the performance athlete which I am not! But I gave it a try because I understood the science behind it and thought it should work for me too! So glad I did! Gonna keep on the app plan because it is so helpful and effective! Reasonable price too for all the intuitive design! Thanks RP!

I purchase the fat loss template first and used it for a couple years, I had good results. I saved it on my phone like an app so I could easily access it but, after watching the IG transformation page, the people who used the app seemed to have a little more advantage, so I decided to try it, glad I did. First week was awesome down almost 3 lbs. that never happened with the template. The meal check-ins, the weigh-ins, the roll over, and weekly reviews make me feel accountable and conscious about my focus daily. I’m literally pushed by the push notifications. The program is worth every penny. The app changed the game for me. Planning my meals don’t feel like a chore anymore. I enjoy it. The food lists allow me to also so what I have in the fridge or pantry that I can use without having to run to the store as much. Ok, done typing. I want to say thanks RP but felt a little commercially. But it’s clear that A LOT of thought went into the step by step processes for your athletes and customers! So, thank you!

I have dropped 30lbs in less than 6 months using this program and I now weigh less than I have in at least a decade. No easy feat for someone staring 40 in the face. It makes meal prepping simple and easy by allowing the user to select foods they want to eat and telling them exactly how much of it to put in every meal down to the gram or tenth of an ounce. So easy to batch out meals, even if it gets a little more complicated on training days. The diet autoregulates on a weekly basis and lets you know if you should be changing your macros or changing which program you are on so it’s really easy to see if you should be continuing to lose weight for that phase or if it’s time to give yourself a break and move into maintenance or even a massing phase. I haven’t tried the massing program yet, but I’m sure I will once I reach my weight loss goals which is sure to be right around the corner! The one caveat is that the app is designed with performance athletes (competitive bodybuilders, powerlifters, crossfit athletes, endurance athletes, etc) so it may not be optimized for the normal sedentary person and some of the vocabulary could be confusing to complete nutrition novices. However, learning how your body works and processes food is something everyone should want to know and it’s really not too complex so far as the app is concerned so I think anyone can benefit from using this after a small learning curve.

Despite what you might be led to believe, there are no quick fixes and shortcuts to losing weight or undergoing a transformation. It requires a sound nutrition plan and a will to put in the effort. The folks at Renaissance Periodization (RP) have done the nutrition planning for you. They’ve developed plans based on findings from scientific research to help you reach your goals. They’ve provided that guidance previously in the form of spreadsheets, but this app is the next step forward. The app helps guide you along the way, reminding you when to eat, and adjusts your meals (protein, fat, and carbs) based on your weight. All you need to do is follow along and do the work. As with any app, there are some issues. The app will let you choose foods and it will provide weights that match your needed macros. Right now, you can only choose one food per macro (i.e. eggs or turkey sausage for a breakfast protein but not both). I believe RP is working on fixing that right now. There is less info available on their diet with the app than came with their spreadsheets. They have a Facebook group that provides a lot of guidance and tips, and their new RP Diet 2.0 ebook provides a lot of the why behind the program. I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve struggled for years to find an ideal way to control weight gain and feel good about what I eat. That search has ended with RP. Now I just need to go do the work.

The general premise of the app is great, but it’s not without problems. It had me eating so much food the first week that I gained weight. The second week, it cut my carbs roughly in half and my weight started trending downward, though I was still above my starting weight. For the third week, it again recommended that I reduce macros, but the app doesn’t give you an idea of what your new macros will be and you won’t be able to see your new macros until you make a selection. You also cannot change your selection, so if you choose to reduce macros for the next week and the app almost completely cuts carbs from your diet, which is what happened in my case, you’ll have no way to change that selection for an entire week. I know my body better than the app does, so I knew better than to completely cut out carbs, while still training heavy, so I had to select “over macros” for every meal check-in for an entire week. This is frustrating since it kills your meal adherence percentage and makes the shopping list feature useless. Overall, I’d still recommend the app with the caveat that you may have to take the macro recommendations with a grain of salt as the changes from week to week can be too extreme. That being said, I’m down 6lbs after 4 weeks. If you use common sense and don’t take the macro recommendations as gospel you’ll be fine.

I cancelled monthly subscription 9/21 via apple iPhone acct and I am still getting charged monthly.
