Looking for BeachBody coach

aroberts713

Hey there,
I'm looking for a BeachBody coach who can help me with my weight loss goals. I tend to have a lot of questions and would love to have some one to turn to. I've signed up on their website but the coach that was assigned to me is not very helpful. Thanks all

I know of several, I am not a coach: Clarissa Ledesma Lupton, Michelle Bates, Carolynn Lovejoy all on facebook...

Ok thanks. Or does anyone know if and how you can change your coach on the BeachBody website?Thanks again

Why do you need a beach body coach? MFP is free. I'm not trying to be mean, just really curious…

Here's some good info…

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.
-Wayne Dyer

It's about moderation not deprivation. There are no good/bad foods, only bad eating habits. Do or do not, there is no try. You have to want it, you have to work for it, you have to realize that only you can do it.

Be aware that anyone can be a "coach" whether they are qualified or not. A lot of them are coaches for the discount, nothing more.

I for one, am really surprised that eleventyhundred of them haven't posted in here by now.

Daiako

but...why?

Or you could just read the stuff on here and ask the people who have been successful. Most of us won't try to sell you anything.

missiontofitness

I'm just as unqualified as a BeachBody coach, and for half the price of Shakeology, I won't try to sell you anything.

Jokes aside...prepare for the onslaught of messages from BeachBody coaches that are going to try to sell their product to you. You're better off finding a personal trainer with actual credentials who can help you in real life.

here is my free advice - create a calorie deficit, set macros to 35 protein, 35 carbs, and 30 fats, and get on a heavy lifting program or some kind of strength training regimen …

you just saved a ton of money…

trinatrina1984

Completely agree with what most people have said. Save yourself some money and learn how to make life chances which are sustainable in the long term. If you want advice from a professional, speak to a personal trainer / dietitian not a snake oil vendor.

I'm starting to do BeachBody programs and would like advice how to get the best results from doing hybrid BeachBody programs. I'm not looking to buy their supplements or shakes. I'm just looking to get the best results from what Im doing and what Im eating. A lot of the food plans with these programs I don't like the food or allergic to so it's not always so easy to just follow the program's plan. But thank you to those of you that give me advice instead of questioning my motives.

Good Luck on your journey

Most BeachBody "coaches" won't offer support or help if they know that they can't make a buck off of you. Good luck.

I've done Beachbody workouts in the past and have never followed the food plans, because they were ridiculous and unrealistic for my lifestyle and budget. I just used MFP to set my calories and macros and ate foods which fit into those.

LOL my thoughts exactly

You want advice from a beachbody coach? That's a first.

Just ask random people on the street, they are just as qualified as a beachbody coach.

The problem is they are sales people - that have no dietary qualifications. If you find a Beachbody coach that gives you nutritional advice that isn't 'use our product' I will eat my hat.

Sadly you probably won't get much help from them if you aren't signing up to buy their supplements or shakes as that's how they get paid is by someone wasting their money on that stuff.

And you can come up with your own food plan just by logging it in here to see where the calories are. Not too sure what else you are looking for though. Good luck!

So you're saying you want to pay $120 for crap??

FitForL1fe

A BB "coach" is just someone who has signed up with them and gets discounts on their vastly overpriced products...it's just another MLM (Multi-level Marketing) scheme...as someone who has a close family member deeply engrossed in the MLM BS, I cannot speak against it strongly enough. MLM is a disgusting marketing strategy.
