I went to Body Blueprint because I was committed to a whole food plant based diet, but I couldn't lose weight and after a total hysterectomy for ovarian cancer, I gained weight, while trying to eat healthy foods. Body Blueprint taught me about balancing protein, carbohydrates and fat and making sure to get adequate protein in my diet. I learned a lot and lost over 20 pounds in the process. It is on the expensive side for my budget, but not necessarily for similar programs. I enjoyed the interactions with my coach, Katie and felt supported and encouraged.

I am so thrilled with my results. I started on April 25th and I am just starting my 5th week. My coach has been so patient with all my questions. We have tweaked my nutrition several times already. My workouts are awesome. We are starting a new 4 week set of resistance training. I started at 144.9 before I went to plant based. I tried it on my own with a little bit of success but still wasn’t great. I signed up and started at 143 pounds. At the end of week 4 I am 132.9. I feel amazing and look amazing. My goal was 128 pounds by July 24th for my honeymoon. This is a major lifestyle shift for me!! Erica, my coach, has played around with my nutrition based on how my body is responding. We actually went UP on my calories and we lost 3.2 pounds!!! So much truth to increasing carbs, lowering cardio, and working on more resistance training. I have less bloating, less irritability, better sleep, increased energy. It is very expensive…I was willing to do anything!! I had to figure out how to get better and feel better. So what is your health worth? The idea of this is counter intuitive to everything we have been told. Decrease carbs and increase cardio and all will be well. I did that for 2 years and stayed between 140-145 pounds. This seems too good to be true but for now it works. You have to be very disciplined. You need to do everything as it is or it doesn’t work. You have to put in the work to get the results.

Katie has been a great coach! She has worked with me in reshaping my eating habits and how I look at food. She has provided recipes and 'tricks' to balance out how and what I eat. She is encouraging- hailing my successes and talking through my setbacks. And, she has gotten me to wear my Apple Watch again (LOL)! I appreciate what she and the program has done.

I really appreciate the support. I’m more of a “loner” and have done other programs where they write out what I should be doing but it’s nice to have a group of very supportive and encouraging women, from my coach as well as those that are going through the same struggles as me.

This is a good solid coaching program. I was through menopause and the weight came out of nowhere. I felt that I needed something. I was accustomed to tracking macros and light workouts so I thought I was prepared to try wfpb to see if that would be a game changer. In the beginner in was a little confusing because the information was on several different media platforms but became easier as the main info was on the ABC trainerize and Skool apps. I recommend printing the modules for the Body Blueprint, especially the recipes. I had a difficult time finding some of the main ingredients so I was feeling like time was running out and I wasn't making progress. This was expensive for me and I truly wish it was all one program instead of 16 weeks, then an offer to continue for a year. I am near the end of my 16 weeks and haven't lost weight but I have myself to blame as I couldn't make myself love plant based eating as a lifestyle. I found I love edememe, chickpea pasta, some soy based foods but overall not sure I can fully make that switch. The coaches were great, but I'm still squishy. I have great take aways and will continue to try plant based but I'm down to last week's with no weight loss. I've learned I don't do well meal prepping as we are on the go so much but I will keep tweeking my macros and maybe one day see fat loss.

First, about myself and ratings, 5 stars would be perfection so 4 stars is very high praise in my book. This is a program for completely changing the way you live—becoming a healthier you and also becoming a fab looking you! I have been about 90% WFPB for 4 years and vegan for nearly 5 years. I lost abt 15lbs going vegan and eating junk food then I lost another 5-10 going WFPB. I exercise regularly and go hard. However, I had belly fat that would not budge. This program is not easy but it supported me to drop inches and that is golden. I hoped to add muscle at the same time and also not lose athletic performance, but those goals weren’t quite met. Still, I needed exactly this help to figure out where I needed to make changes and how to manage all the moving parts to not just drop lbs, but to reshape my body. I leave the program with invaluable experience and knowledge and determination to hit my post-PLU goals!
