I did “the plant life chose us” after a friend had a lot of success. I’m in full blown menopause, and I’ve gained about 30 lbs over the last few years. Quick version: I didn’t find it supportive enough for the price ($2400 for 4 months). Long version, in no particular order: The “plan” is all vegan reduced calorie/fat, and super high protein, like 100 grams a day. My plan was maybe 1800 cals a day. I was never hungry, but it’s a lot of processed soy stuff, which can be challenging for the gut. The “program” is in the Skool app, and it’s challenging to watch the videos Rose does. The videos were chaotic and just too all over the place for me. The trainer/coaches always ask “what can I do to support you?” When they can see what you’re eating and see your workouts, but it doesn't seem to matter -there was zero proactive interaction on their part. I wanted more feedback and support that they initiated, but that never happened. The coaches are not registered dietitians. I’m not even sure what nutrition background they have. They really didn’t provide any feedback on my diet. They just expect you to follow the recipes Rose provides. Unfortunately, a lot of the ingredients, like from Trader Joe’s, just don’t exist anymore, since TJ’s discontinues stuff. You will lose weight and gain muscle, if you follow the macro counting and workouts. The workouts are boring, but of you do them, you’ll get stronger. Again, not sure why you need the coach after they enter the workouts into the Trainerize app. My friend found it helpful, since she was new to weights. The weekly “lectures” by Rose were okay - she talks about how PLCU is a lifestyle, not just a now thing. She does have an “inner circle” you can pay for after the 4 months. The “lectures” don’t seem terribly well planned. One week she admitted she didn’t know what she was going to talk about and would take ideas. I didn’t find that inspiring. She’s really just getting going with this whole thing, and she has a lot of work to do on her communication style. 7. I’ve read in prior reviews that the whole thing seems like an ED wrapped up in a program. I disagree. So many of us have had eating/food issues, so even if Rose or the coaches have battled ED, I don’t see it as being an issue. There honestly isn’t enough interaction to assess it one way or another. I felt very on my own with it all. Like the workouts, the diet got very boring. 8. All of this said, I did lose some weight and I gained muscle! I’m back at the gym, and I’m still meal prepping on Sundays to help me stay on track. Am I still on track? No, but I’m not really gaining weight, so I’m overall pleased. It was interesting to discover that following a fully vegan diet wasn’t that terrible! I’m still not sure I’m happy I did the program though. The cost is tremendous. I don’t think the services provided amounted to $600/mo. I wish I just had a trainer 2x per week. It also wasn’t enough structure and support for the enormous cost. I kept asking for more feedback on my diet and more varied workouts, but that isn’t what I got. I think Rose has a ways to go before this program is ready for mainstream, but she’s on the right track.

Not worth the price tag. A sloppy program. $2400 for 4 months for one-to-one coaching Only received coaching 1x per month. Everything else was accessed via a “University Portal.” The information on the “University Portal” was very sloppy and not edited. More often than not, pages were not accessible due to frequent, random admin password issues. Much of the social network is a confusing blend of Facebook and WhatsApp groups. Not realistic for for me. “Hundreds” of promised Recipes were also blocked more times than not due to admin Password issues. Recipes were often dorm like recipes. This may very well appeal to some people though. Zero to little explanation of weight routines. You need to “google them” to make sure you are using proper form. Prescribed workouts were far outside my ability and physical aptitude. I had to repeatedly remind coaches to knock routines back because I knew I was experiencing injury. Two apps are required for tracking- My Fitness Pal or Chronometer for nutrition . And an app which is branded PLCU is used for tracking work outs. The Work out app, which is mandatory was a disaster. The (admin set-up) settings were always off. They would get fixed, but than revert back. I spent more time fixing or reporting bugs and glitches than I spent on some of the workouts. Because of this, progress reports were rarely a available. This is an extreme diet program. I was randomly challenged to hit macros to the 100% decimal via random personal texts from program administrator, who was not even my coach. The program was billed as a 4 month, stand alone program in which after 4 months I would be equipped to write my own work-outs and graduate from the program. How ever, after one month I was being sent personal and pushy texts to join the paid, “inner circle” for over $100 per month. I was told I needed to join, in order to “complete” the program. The scheduled “lectures” and yoga and meditation programs were often cancelled. Its a sloppy program. I would support it for a much, much lower price. Hopefully it’s improved, but it’s too late for my waste of hard earned money. Program Pros: Female Only program for plant based nutrition. My coach was very reasonable and knowledgeable. Cons: For $800 per month, the technology and organization needs to be tightened up- a lot. I think the founder is trying to expand from a local in-person trainer to an international brand too quickly. Read the contract! Understand that they have the right to post your progress pictures!! They did change the language upon my request. Advice: Ask for examples of how you will be learning the program, recipes and exercises. Make sure it’s worth the price.. I read the reply from the staff. I stand by my review. Not worth the price. Offering to add 1 video session was too little too late. One on one coaching cannot be accurate when the program consists of video messages left one time per week and video meeting one time per month. Again, the coach that was assigned to me was great. It’s the program structure that needed a lot of tightening up to justify the price tag. I am not going to respond to your quoting me, which was taken out of context - and I believe should not be disclosed, but I will check the contract.

My journey with PLCU started off great. I was looking for high protein vegan recipes to help me lose my baby weight. Coach reached out after I followed her on IG and we wrote back and forth for some time before I decided to have a consultation call with her. With her responsiveness I was expecting the same level of communication once I became her client. However after I pre-paid for my enrolment, she would take a long time to respond to any messages and even ignored my questions when I asked for information about the program start. For the week before my scheduled start I actually thought she ran off with my money (and enrolment is not cheap). I did get login info for the members site for my coaching period which has a lot of good info and recipes. However I signed up for the program with the impression it was a 1-to-1 coaching experience. It was not, it was self-paced and my coach did not even once send a message to ask how I was doing, nor did she respond to my weekly check-in submissions. She also didn't show up to my first scheduled meeting with her, and my file access was revoked before the end of my promised period. I get the impression she cares more about expanding her business than providing a good experience for all her clients. For that reason I cannot recommend the program. It's too bad because if the communication was better I would probably be advocating for the program. Instead she made me feel like I wasn't important and I came out of the program feeling cheated.
