I’m a big fan of RP’s books so I decided to try out their RP Diet App after losing 120lbs and being stuck. I thought for sure this would help me get over this stage of being forever stuck. Of course, I started with the 14 day trial, and after my first week I was gaining weight. Perhaps I did it wro... Show more ng, but it’s hard to do it wrong when it is telling you when to eat and how much to eat. I felt like I was always eating, even when I was hungry and the portions for protein were so large. I started off at 228 and by the week marker I was 233, and that’s disheartening, to say the least.
As for tips on how RPDietCoachMealPlanner could improve, I would just say the scanning isn’t perfect. For example, the rotisserie chicken from Costco if you’re eating just the breast, without skin, the only fat it has is what is running through it and it doesn’t reflect that. I also think it doesn’t workout that you can save a meal being under macros but not over. For example, if overall my macros are good but I’m over by 1g with my carbs or fat, it will not let me save it. It would be more accurate to allow to be over macros, equally as you allow for it to be under, and RPDietCoachMealPlanner have a better grasp for what you’re putting into your body to better modify.
Overall, I would use RPDietCoachMealPlanner for maintenance or muscle building, and perhaps in the future after I drop some good weight, I can try them again for fat loss.
