Has anyone done the 90daysss plan by Joe Wickes? I'm really tempted to sign up but the cost is putting me off a little. I'd like to know other peoples experiences before I sign up :)

    Out of curiosity, what is it the plan offers that you can't get for free from a site like this one?

    So what are you getting for 149 Pounds? Motivation? A book? Tweets? Signed headshots?

    He claims he learned most of what he promotes online...it doesn't sound like he has much formal training.

    What is it that interests you in his program?

    OP, it sounds like Wicks is arguing that the benefit of his program is mainly that since you pay so much for it, you will stick with it. If that sounds like something that will motivate you, it may work. Some people really do adhere better to a plan when money is on the line.

    But if you can be motivated for free, why pay?

    I like the fact that it incorporates the science behind food and will enabled me to meet my macros more effectively

    What exactly does that mean? How does the plan incorporate the science behind food?

    After the 90 days, what happens? That's what I want to know. A lot of these programs promise you astounding results in 90 days, and you get them, but then go back to your old habits and ways of eating, and start skipping workouts, and you're right back where you started. :)
    It might be a good jumpstart to your health plan, but I wouldn't give anyone 149 pound (what's that in US? 200$? ) to tell me what I could learn just by browsing these forums and talking to people who've been where I am. But then, I'm a cheapo.

    I don't know anything about it but there are free plans on prm.com or do your own research and create your own plan or with that money you would spend get a nutritionist and get a plan that way.

    Pretty much everything I've done I learned from reading books and what I learned on here and other sites. I learned about portions and weighing my food. What foods to consume moderately and what to avoid. (Junk foods and processed foods) I make my own meal plans and it's really working so far! And other than cost of a few books it was free.

    Op as you have probably figured out by now, most MFP members are not fans of programs that promise results for a "fee". There is nothing MFP can't give you that this program will. You don't need this program.

    And so would it be if you read the main threads on here and looked around youtube, fitnessblender ( i think it's called. And you would'nt be 149 quid down. :)

    Ooooookay guys. I was interested in other people experiences. I get that people are not fans of the plan. I wanted to see if anyone who used MFP AND the plan found it to be worth the money.

    People here are just trying to convince you to save your money.

    Just use mfp... It is free. Eat the foods that you like, but weigh all of it and log it... Stick to your calorie goal and you should see progress. That's it, really.

    Ive bought the book only from asda for £8 as i was looking for healthy cooking and i love this book. Ive not signed up for the 90 plan im sort of doing it myself without paying them for account and for the c1 c2 c3 thing lol. I already workout 30 mins 5 times a week but adding in his greats meals makes it better for me to stay on track.

    This is my week 2. I had post on gerenal forum last week to see if anyone was doing it but no one replied :( glad i found this lol.

    I dont wanna waste money like people say buy the plan from them i find it easier and cheaper to just buy book and ill buy his next one coming out aswell. i make up my own planner for the week, batch up on sundays store in fridge or freezer for the week and measure everything and log it all :). my dairy is open aswell and ive logged for the full week I do have spare calories i can use if i do feel peakish and i still need to log my breakfast aswell lol. Glad im not along on this :D

    @katieboo93_ I did the plan 18 months ago. Before I thought I was eating the right things... I was so off the mark!
    I was in ok shape, once I finished I was ripped! I think my BF was around 6%. I dont think I could keep it up and stay that low but it transformed my outlook on food. I loosely follow the principles now ie low carb days. I would 100% recommend it - well worth the cash.

    There is no such thing as 'right' or 'wrong' foods for weight loss.
    The faster you figure this out, the less stressful weight loss becomes.

    Hi Katie
    I am on the final week of cycle 3 of the 90daysss.
    I have loved the experience.
    The first cycle is low carb meals with a carb refuel meal after a 25 min hiit. This was the hardest bit for me to get used to.
    But I just went with it because I decided to trust the plan.
    My cycle 1 results were 9inches lost and 4kg lost.
    Cycle 2 is 3 low carb meals on rest days and 3 carb meals on workout days. Workout days are German volume training with 15 min hiit.
    I lost a further 2kg and 4 inches.
    I am now at the end of cycle 3 which is back to low carb except after a workout. The workout is dramatic transformation process weight training with about 10 mins of hiit.
    In cycle 1 you get set recipes to choose from.
    In cycle 2 you get some set recipes but also a pick n mix ingredient list.
    In cycle 3 it's again set recipes and pick n mix ingredients.

    Before starting the plan I was running 10-15 miles a week, completing jillian Michaels DVDs 4 times a week and bicycle commuting Monday to Friday. I could never seem to get my calories right. Doing this plan I've realised I wasn't getting my macros right.

    I feel more confident on this plan.
    I have dropped 2 dress sizes.
    You get a coach via email but they are only reactive don't expect them
    To chase you up.

    There is an unofficial Facebook group that is invaluable for support and advice.

    Other than the £147 upfront cost you will likely see an increase in your food bill for first few weeks.
    You may need/want to buy protein powder.
    You will need to buy smaller clothes.

    If you decide to do it all you need to do is trust the plan.
    The cycles are designed So you can see how your body reacts to the different ways of eating and you may not always see success on a particular cycle but when you submit at the end of that cycle you fill in a questionnaire submit
    Your photos and they will tailor the next cycle to your progress.

    Anyway sorry for the long post.
    I hope it gives you some insight.
    It truly was the best decision of my year. I am now 9.5stone for the first time in 10 years. But I feel fitter more toned and healthier

    I was looking into this too as I have a friend who's currently doing well on it and have heard other great feedback, and I feel like I could do with some structured guidance on eating and exercising. Although it's advertised at £19.99 per month for 3 months, is that not the case, or is that something different?
    I'm also in two minds as to whether I really actually need to pay for the plan, or could just devise my own from the recipes and workouts that are freely available in his books and on his social media accounts.

    My opinion is, people that have to pay for a program whether it be 10 weeks, 6 weeks or 90 days. Do have a greater success rate. They have the accountability from spending the money (unless money isn't a problem for you) and normally there are other people you can get support from and help push you to where you want to be. They are the good support you need.

    And once you see the changes in you have made, you are more prone to keeping up with the food and workouts.

    Some people don't know how to eat healthy. They either were never taught, or never cared to learn about the balance in a good nutrition.

    I'm not sure what program you are referring too, however I have been with a program over a year and half, and I'm still losing and learning all the time.

    But you have to give it 100% nothing less will change you.

    Believe
