This book is all over social media…..I always hop over to RUclips for HONEST reviews and not reviews from paid ads and or sponsored ads. This was helpful! Thank you!
This is actually really helpful because I also thought this was a “recipe book.” I know the ingredients I can eat, but what I need is a book that puts those ingredients into a meal plan so I don’t have to think about coming up with tasty recipes and counting calories and macros at the same time. Thank you for your honest review! It is fair and valuable. I hope that instead of them focusing so much on their image based on your review, they take away the learning lesson and market the product more honestly.
Same here.. Was about to purchase, but wanted to see reviews from good to bad.. I was about to purchase it also, but her review has very good points that I found to be very informative and very helpful.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
I’m getting these ads spammed at me on TikTok. I was sceptical based on the lack of detailed questions in the quiz and am glad to see my concerns were correct. Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated.
Thank you so much for keeping this review up. I almost just purchased but figured I would look online to see if their were any examples of the pages online since the quiz seemed seriously lacking. This was so helpful.
Bingo. You made a very good point at 21:20. Meal plans where you have to buy very specific ingredients, but never use them again. You end up with so much food waste!!
THANK YOU!!! I was considering this book mainly for the 28-day customized meal plan. But I became hesitant because I could never find a picture of the pages showing the meal plan "recipes." All the sites show the pages, but they quickly scroll so you cannot see them in their entirety or stop the scroll. I also wanted calorie counts for each meal with macro's listed. I also questioned how customized it could be with the limited questions, so I emailed the company to give them additional information. I was not satisfied with their response. I am experienced in fitness and nutrition and am so glad you made this video to show what you really get. I think your review was spot on. I think their marketing is deceptive and that you were not in the wrong with your first video. Thanks again for helping me make the correct decision in not purchasing this. Kudos to you!!
So I bought the book. It actually gave me the same macros and caloric breakdown as my nutritionist. I am also gluten free, so it gave me multiple options of gluten free grains and breads. My only real complaint is the grocery list, but everything else does align.
I mean, technically they asked her to remove it because her statements about certain things were false. That’s why she corrected parts of it in this new video. But the company definitely has a huge emphasis in marketing (like most other weight loss products) which to me is a pretty big red flag.
@@Kr0n42 Exactly! They didn't ask her to remove because it was Negative. She did the right thing and amended her video, which was the right thing to do. Kuddos to the gal w/ the great curls! :) :)
Man my wife really wants something that would do this job ....what else is out there? She doesn't like my minimalist way of doing things and I totally understand how sensitive a subject this can be
They really need to have it customize for us… i was about to buy it because they have a sell for $20..+ a membership free 3 months 1 month 6 months . I was hoping it will be very detailed for the price. I’m so happy I watch this first..thanks
I'm so glad I found your video. I just finished their quiz for my book and red flags were going off all over the place with how vague it was. I think I'm just going to get myself a nice big journal and make my own personalized book and track my calories intake/physical activity. Thanks for uploading this! I feel like so many people are going to be suckered into buying this.
This was beyond helpful, thank you. I answered their vague "personalization" questions, and decided to google for reviews before pulling the trigger. I'm so glad I found you. ❤️
Also, I got 3 months subscription with free e book. Then to avoid next 3months payment went ahead to cancel the subscription, it showed that I can’t do it until second charge… or pay $40 more… basically this is cheating because it said cancel anytime.
I was actually looking at this book until the first question in the quiz asked about my "problem areas" as if the only point is to lose weight in those areas. Sciences supported for ages that you can't Target weight loss that it tends to be overall... That was what made me seek out reviews. I'm very grateful for your review and for the edits you made to clarify what the program was and wasn't
They have awful customer service, too. I asked for a refund and haven't downloaded the ebook or the app and they were like "how about we give you 50% back". How about no. Also the fact that they saw your video, and proceeded to argue with you about how wrong you were, and to delete it tells me all I need to know about the company. No mi gusta.
OMG!! I love you!! I took the test. Then sat there looking at the purchase button going but what about …. What about …. I can’t eat xyz you didn’t mention that. My gut said something not right here. I got out of it. Thx for the confirmation. When something wants to design a meal/exercise just for you, they missed a lot of shit. 👊🏻 you were right on target with your review. The normal working middle class person could not afford to eat this way for 28 days. Can’t imagine spending all that $$ then tossing it. 😱just in wk 1… Thank you for your honest rant. ✋✋. No I didn’t go back to revisit. My gut said it was bogus. Listen to your gut after taking a pause & really looking at what they asked. 👍👍👍
I am so thankful for this video. I have been scouring the internet trying to find specifically what is included in the book due the very reason I continue to get ads and people raving about it, but absolutely no real information. Major kudos from me for not completely removing this video based on them contacting you. It appears most people may have because I cannot find any other information on this book other than people just stating how it’s an addition I NEED in my life.
Pretty sure they try to get all references of it removed from the internet, but it was too important not to share for others. So glad you found this vid!
I am just now seeing this book popping up on my Facebook. And went straight to RUclips for reviews. And found you!! Thank you. I WONT be wasting my money
Love this review! It’s so nice to see the real opinions on a product from someone who ain’t trying to sell another lame product. I love every about your review. Thank you! I am also on board with you about having a hard copy of a book! Will take a hard copy over a digital any day!
Thank you for your honest review. I’m looking to maintain a healthy lifestyle and was looking to possibly switch things up by trying something new. You definitely spoke to my concerns. I’ll stick to my current meal plan and health journey.
Omg!!! Thank you!!!! I was going to click purchase button when something tells me that I should go on youtube and look for reviews! And the 1st on the list is this video. I watched the whole review. So happy I saved a LOT! I was also wondering before I watched your youtube why are there SOOOO many people selling their “personalized” Beyond books on ebay. 😅NOW I KNOW!!!
Helpful review, but I wanted to note that the options/substitutions isn’t just whether you like those food items, but more so to show you how to swap out those other items. Especially, If you have one over the other on hand. It’s also to give you an idea of how to plan your own meals in the future and which foods can be swapped to have the same macronutrients.
PREACH!!!! Girl, so many of your points hit home. I purchased the e-book and the app and right out of the gate was so overwhelmed. I haven't even touched anything I received until this very week. The shopping list just for one week was ridiculous. I ended up looking at the alternative choices just so that I could utilize the ingredients I already have rather than buying a bunch of crap just for it to go bad! I mainly wanted to do this to reset my eating habits but this was a bad idea. I am now cooking separate meals for myself vs. my husband. Also, I don't eat fish or seafood, yet there is fish and seafood in my "menus".
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately I can't undo my order but I canceled the monthly app subscription. I love your sense of humor and your personality. I will use this as another learning experience 😢
So glad I found this video! I was so close to buying this book but was put off by the multiple emails they sent trying to get me to hurry for the discount. 🙄 That prompted me to dig further. I usually just buy and regret. Thanks so much for this very honest review! You saved me a lot of money.
I was just about to buy this book and so grateful when I was googling reviews you were the top one that came up! I would’ve been so upset because those substitutions are a joke! Thank you
Dang, you rock. I love the updates to correct your “errors” and were gracious in your delivery. But you really convinced me when you say “it’s not recipes! It’s just ingredients!” I also wanted a meal plan, with recipes. Isn’t the challenge with managing your food choices in the cooking choices? And portion control? Thanks for saving me from wasting my money. They even sent me a discount code when I didn’t hit the purchase button that made it $8/month and $25 for the book. A small investment. But seeing Reddit comments on the auto renewals, and the worthlessness of the app and the book’s short “shelf life” of relevance stopped me from clicking that buy button. You’re a hoot, too. Keep up the honesty and sense of humor! 💪🏽🤩
I saw the company's post while scrolling down in IG. Then I was curious about the book and saw your video. Thank you so much. Your review is very helpful.❤
THANK YOU!!! I've been inundated with Beyond Body ads, had their website pulled up, and said to myself "lets just see what the reviews are first," because, I too, am a sucker for a good marketing ploy when it comes to health and wellness. I am so happy I came across your hilarious (and honest) video. You have a new subscriber now, and Beyond Body does NOT have a new customer.
Thank you! For saving me from being disappointed, pissed off, & wasting money! Thank you! After doing the quiz & reading everything, I was about to purchase but then I googled, do you really lose weight with beyond body & I came across your vid. So again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤
So so glad I headed to you tube to check on reviews before I got it. I too was ready to order and then saw your honest review. I also was looking for more customized recipes that didn't include ingredients I don't like, etc, so I also would have been disappointed. Thank you for saving me $$$$.
Oh my. I ALMOST bought this book but thought it was a little too good to be true. I'm so glad I watched your video first. You make so much sense. I already lost over 50 lbs on myself. I don't need this book.
I was going to purchase this and thank you so much for your evaluation. It's definitely a book for beginners. The questionnaire doesn't take into account menopausal women so I'm not sure how scientific it is. Thank you for bringing up the cost of groceries as well. Ridiculous.
Thanks for this. It’s been spamming my TikTok feed even though I keep saying not interested and actually reporting it as false information. Horrendous.
Me too! My 1st thought when the videos started popping up was "Is this an MLM?" Esp when you take into account, it is so hard to find anything on the product and all the videos are so vague. Definite no no for me
Thank you sooo much for saving me from purchasing that book. I did the quiz and then stopped before actually paying. I realized that the book seemed awfully vague and wasn't sure what I would be getting. I appreciate your thorough review and agree that it looks like beautifully made book with little substance.
Ugh I wished I’d seen this before buying it. It was such a waste and a pointless quiz when I specifically said “no” to Turkey and “no” to pork. Seriously received it and 90% of the recipes are all Turkey or Pork!!! When I emailed them they said “just substitute another protein like fish or chicken”….SO it’s NOT personalized then! Lies spread by “influencers” to make money, sad you can’t believe anything on FB or IG anymore….really appreciate your TRUE honest review!!!
I so wish that I had done more research into this book before I purchased it. Everything you said in your original video is exactly what enticed me to purchase the book…and their app 🙁. Unfortunately, it was one of those 2 am, I can’t sleep purchases. I am a very picky eater and sometimes have to tell restaurants/people that I have allergies just to get my food the way I want it. So, I was excited that I could make it personalized to my tastes. When I got the ebook (I still haven’t received the book yet), I immediately looked at the meal plan and thought WTH is this??? And you are correct: lactose problem-eat lactose free substitute, gluten intolerance-eat gluten-free substitute, etc. I decided to think of this as me going out for a night at the casino and losing. But I did find your RUclips channel and you just gained a new subscriber out of this so there’s that 😀. Thank you for your frank, honest and humorous opinion, I appreciated it.
oh no!! I'm so sorry to hear you made your purchase and it wasn't what you hoped for, because this book is truly the farthest thing from personalized. I am glad to know they are just as lazy when it comes to gluten substitutions as well, so ridiculous. Well I'm as so so pleased you decided to stick around, I promise I'm not as ranty as this video haha.
THANK YOU for being real AND taking their critiquing into consideration and updating your review. This book looks VERY basic and probably not what I'm looking for at all. Much appreciated for your sacrifice and research, etc.! ❤❤❤
THANK YOU! I was just about to purchase this and realized I should do more research because it's always spammed on Insta and Tik Tok and I couldn't find anything but your video review! I was looking for a recipe book tailored to me and my diet plans. I'm so glad I didn't fall for it! Thanks for being honest and still keeping your video up, it's still true.
@@JacyErin perhaps there’s a Facebook group or something where others have compared pages, or already came up with the conclusion that they’re not truly customized 👀 just thinking !! 😂
You are hilarious! Thank you for the honest review and pointing out how ridiculous their so called substitute were, because you were totally right they are not actual substitutes. I would hope the company would take some pointers from your video and make some changes. Thank you for saving me from buying this book.
Girl, you are hilarious! So glad I found your video and didn't spend my money on this product as I've been on my fitness journey for quite a while and my expectations (and disappointments) would have been in line with yours! I appreciate your honest review and how you made respectful corrections for the company!
I had customized this book and was about to add my name but kept thinking their questions weren’t enough so before I bought it I started to check reviews. I found your rant/review 😂 Thank You!!✨
You're so funny! 🤣 I feel your pain though. I ordered this too and was so confused when I got my ebook and my workout plan was 15 pages that told me to breathe, hydrate, and go for walks. 😳 Canceled the physical copy quick!!!
@@JacyErin Yup really helpful lol! And my recipe substitutions are like yours too. "Thanks, I don't need you to list three different types of eggs or three different types of lettuce, I think I got it." 😬🤣
Sooo helpful!!! Thank you for saving me $90! I was legit about to buy this crazy expensive book and thought, "hmm, I wonder if anyone has done a RUclips review of this book so I can preview it before I buy it?"
I was definitely intrigued because of the TikTok ads I’ve been watching but like others in the comments I saw red flags when it tried to tell me I could lose 19 pounds in two months… like what. Just no. And also that there was zero previews of what was inside the book. Thats why I turned to reviews and I’m glad you made this video and saved me my money and being stuck on a monthly plan.
Thank you…this popped up today on Facebook. I did their quiz and thought they did not ask enough questions and options were highly limited when answering questions. I, too, thought there would actually recipes. Everything I was concerned about you validated in this video.
Thank you , Thank you... I was so close to buying this book but I was skeptical. I was searching google for some reviews and I wasn't really getting a raw answer until I came across your review. What bothered me was that I didn't get a change to see what would be in my book before purchasing and that was a bit of a flag. Since seeing your video I deleted the email and said "hell no ". :)
First of all, thank you for making clarifying statements. This is the first video I’m seeing and I just am so impressed. With the DNA thing. I just went through the women’s version and the men’s version quiz cause I thought oh maybe me and my husband could do this but can’t see what differences are so I thought would look for reviews before actually buying. The men’s book DOES say “perfect body’s DNA” on the cover.
Thank you for your honest review. I’ve studied nutrition but from time to time it’s nice to take a step back & try other peoples tools. I kept seeing ads for this personalized book so I thought why not. I took the quiz & at the end I thought, hang on, the questions weren’t that in-depth. So I started researching & found it hard to get information about what this book truly entailed. I stumbled across your review & thank god I did because I would have been so mad receiving this book. The ads are extremely misleading & I was ordering it for structure & yummy recipes tailored to me. It’s crazy that this is written by people who are nutritionist & dietitians. I’m in Australia so it was not going to be cheap. Thank you for saving me from this purchase! 🧡
I just took the test and was about to purchase this book, then I decided to check out any negative reviews. Thank you for your in depth review, I will not be purchasing this book! I would never stick to a meal plan with those food choices. Thank you!
I bought it, and by day 3 my gut health, mood and overall hunger improved. I love the fact that I have easy to follow recipes and helps me with the what should I eat next fatigue.
I really enjoyed this video. You are super funny and I watched the entire video just for the giggles. Thank you for saving me money. I had filled out the questionnaire and I just felt like something was missing. So I googled the book and your video came up.
Thank you for clarifying the contents of this book. I also thought it would provide recipes and more personalised info but it does not. Still, it does provide portion assistance which I’m looking for. I’m looking for a general guide book so, I think I will get it still. Allowing to be creative with the recipes fits with my needs as well. Thank you for your video. Update: Got the e-book and it’s exactly what I was looking for
Thank you for saving me money. I almost fell for the "oooh so pretty" marketing, but was weary when they literally show nothing of substance for a preview of what you get.
As someone who is lactose intolerant I agree with you on the points about the customization. Lactose intolerance has a range to it, like some people can't have any dairy at all and people like me can have some. I can't have milk or cream but cheese and yogurt are fine. So their recommendations would not be helpful for me at all because I need recipes that don't use milk period because I hate nut and alternative milks and I'm not buying lactose free anything because it usually still upsets my stomach. That should be addressed if I'm paying for customized meal plan.
I also regret my purchase. I checked off that I couldn’t have nuts or soy and my diet plan is full of both. No new information from any other plan I have ever purchased. Now I just need to figure out how to cancel the app subscription.
Oh my gosh! You review is great and completely honest, thank you! I was about to purchase this and decided to look up some honest reviews. Yours is the only one I needed to see. 😁
Thank you for this!! Same wigh other commenters here, I’m about to enter my payment deets but realized to check on some honest reviews and I came actoss your vid! You made very valid points on the purpose of the book. Thank you!
Bless you for making this video! I took the quiz and was about to purchase when I decided to Google "What does a beyond body book look like" because I wanted to have a general idea of the inside setup. Your video told me everything I needed to know! I would have been so mad if I purchased this and thought I was getting actual recipes!
Your thoughts on having consideration for the grocery shopping aspect woke me up! How many other diet plans out there are doing similar things, and how much money and food are people wasting with disorganized menu plans?? 🤦♀️
I was just looking into purchasing this book. They recommended me exercising 2 hours a day PLUS walking 2.5 hours a day to lose only 15 pounds in ONE YEAR. Not sure who holds employment and has time to exercise 4.5 hours per day 🤔
I too had a nightmare experience with these guys. I thought I bought the book and instead got the PDF (after picking colors and all. ) then when I tried to get a refund, it wasn’t until I realized it wasn’t coming in the mail I read I have 7 days for refund and it was day 10. I paid over 100 for nothing. I won’t use a pdf. They need to make it more clear. And I thought it would be exercises in the book I could check off. I’m tired of everything being on my phone and was excited to have a printed format. I still don’t know if it has exercises but looks like it may not. Then after canceling the subscription, they billed me fifty something again and I disputed it. After much argument I found the email with my cancelation from a few months prior and they refunded my money. Poor accounting tracking. No matter how good a product may be. If you have a bad experience- no matter how wrong they make you realize you are, you’re not going back. No one wants a constant reminder of negative feelings.
Thank you so much for this review. I have been getting tons of ads and tempted to buy tho Beyond Body Book but was concerned about the book being very generic based on the vague questions they asked. They didn't ask really "tailored" questions.
Thank you for this fabulous perspective. I love your real approach and the parts disliked were things I would have been upset with also. They need to address their quiz because they advertise how personal this is going to be but their quiz is vague. There are so many things it should ask and take into account but it doesn’t. It just covers the basics you can get from any other overly advertised book/program. I found your video refreshingly honest. I will be following.
Thank you for the review. I was ready to purchase, but thought I'd better look up some reviews first. Another red flag I found with the quiz was they did not have any questions regarding any part of menopause, not menopausal, pre-menopausal, menopausal, or post. There is a huge difference on how the body sheds weight during these cycles.
Thank you soooo much I just took the quiz and before purchase I figured I should look up a few reviews. Yours was extremely clear and helpful! You are awesome👌🏾
I am SO GLAD I googled this and your video showed up! I was on the fence about this for days. There were so many neg reviews on trust pilot regarding shipping and credit card charges but not much about the program. You have saved me from wasting my money. Thank you! BTW - I LOVE your hair!

Girl!!! Thank you. I was at the part to purchase the book, after taking the quiz and decided to look up reviews before spending my money!
Me too! Lol! Hate that they have my email address now!
Me too thank god
Thats how I got here too😅. Same
Same! So glad to find this video when I did
Same!

My thoughts exactly!!!! I hope they make the changes she’s suggesting. They use this video to help fix and make their product better.
Thank you!🌻 I was about to purchase it specifically for the customization and the idea of a step by step. Happy I did not waste my hard earning money!
Glad you found this video before purchasing!!
Yeah, it’s a 👎
Same here.. Was about to purchase, but wanted to see reviews from good to bad.. I was about to purchase it also, but her review has very good points that I found to be very informative and very helpful.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️👍
I am SO GLAD I watched this! I almost bought the book but was waiting til payday. Thank you for your honest and real-life review!
I’m getting these ads spammed at me on TikTok. I was sceptical based on the lack of detailed questions in the quiz and am glad to see my concerns were correct. Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated.
Me too! That’s why I am here.
I was about to buy it but the quiz seemed short to be personalized so I decided to check reviews
Thank you so much for keeping this review up. I almost just purchased but figured I would look online to see if their were any examples of the pages online since the quiz seemed seriously lacking. This was so helpful.
Me too, answered everything till the actual purchase of the book, I decided to look online first and so glad I did!
Bingo. You made a very good point at 21:20. Meal plans where you have to buy very specific ingredients, but never use them again. You end up with so much food waste!!
Their advice for sleeping more sounds like those people who say "oh, you’re depressed? Just be happy!" Boom, cured. Thank you.
This is 1) killing me because this is hilarious and 2) very helpful. This has been all over my ads and believe me, I was getting convinced
Same! First I was like nah. Then I was like maybe?? And then I looked up reviews that was not sponsored

Thank you for your super honest review and for not letting them BULLY you to take the video down! NOT PURCHASING!!
I'm so glad I found your video. I just finished their quiz for my book and red flags were going off all over the place with how vague it was.

Helpful review, but I wanted to note that the options/substitutions isn’t just whether you like those food items, but more so to show you how to swap out those other items. Especially, If you have one over the other on hand. It’s also to give you an idea of how to plan your own meals in the future and which foods can be swapped to have the same macronutrients.
I got mine, was exactly what I was looking for as a guideline for my anemia & diabetes needs, feels much easier to plan my meals now

I ended up looking at the alternative choices just so that I could utilize the ingredients I already have rather than buying a bunch of crap just for it to go bad! I mainly wanted to do this to reset my eating habits but this was a bad idea. I am now cooking separate meals for myself vs. my husband. Also, I don't eat fish or seafood, yet there is fish and seafood in my "menus".
Ahhh I fell for it and then came online to search for how I’m supposed to buy the shopping list.. for the first 4 days there are 72 INGREDIENTS 😓
And their pedantic response making you change the video just makes them look worse..
Thank you for your review. Unfortunately I can't undo my order but I canceled the monthly app subscription. I love your sense of humor and your personality. I will use this as another learning experience 😢
I bought it too but love it.
Thanks this still was helpful and I was about to purchase it but I will continue to look for something else. Thanks!
Thank you for this honest review. You definitely helped me with my decision on whether to buy this book... which after seeing this video I won't.
So glad I found this video! I was so close to buying this book but was put off by the multiple emails they sent trying to get me to hurry for the discount. 🙄 That prompted me to dig further. I usually just buy and regret. Thanks so much for this very honest review! You saved me a lot of money.
I was just about to buy this book and so grateful when I was googling reviews you were the top one that came up! I would’ve been so upset because those substitutions are a joke! Thank you
A joke is an understatement, glad you can save some money!
Dang, you rock. I love the updates to correct your “errors” and were gracious in your delivery. But you really convinced me when you say “it’s not recipes! It’s just ingredients!” I also wanted a meal plan, with recipes. Isn’t the challenge with managing your food choices in the cooking choices? And portion control?
Thanks for saving me from wasting my money. They even sent me a discount code when I didn’t hit the purchase button that made it $8/month and $25 for the book. A small investment. But seeing Reddit comments on the auto renewals, and the worthlessness of the app and the book’s short “shelf life” of relevance stopped me from clicking that buy button.
You’re a hoot, too. Keep up the honesty and sense of humor! 💪🏽🤩
I saw the company's post while scrolling down in IG. Then I was curious about the book and saw your video. Thank you so much. Your review is very helpful.❤
Your honest review is exactly what we all needed. Thank you for helping us avoid wasting our money!
THANK YOU!!! I've been inundated with Beyond Body ads, had their website pulled up, and said to myself "lets just see what the reviews are first," because, I too, am a sucker for a good marketing ploy when it comes to health and wellness. I am so happy I came across your hilarious (and honest) video. You have a new subscriber now, and Beyond Body does NOT have a new customer.
This is exactly why I always look to RUclips for reviews BEFORE I purchase things like this!!! Thank you for your honest review!
Thank you! For saving me from being disappointed, pissed off, & wasting money! Thank you! After doing the quiz & reading everything, I was about to purchase but then I googled, do you really lose weight with beyond body & I came across your vid. So again, THANK YOU SO MUCH!❤
Thanks for sharing! This keeps coming up on my social media and I keep thinking about it, glad you saved me!
So so glad I headed to you tube to check on reviews before I got it. I too was ready to order and then saw your honest review. I also was looking for more customized recipes that didn't include ingredients I don't like, etc, so I also would have been disappointed. Thank you for saving me $$$$.
Oh my. I ALMOST bought this book but thought it was a little too good to be true. I'm so glad I watched your video first. You make so much sense. I already lost over 50 lbs on myself. I don't need this book.
I was going to purchase this and thank you so much for your evaluation. It's definitely a book for beginners. The questionnaire doesn't take into account menopausal women so I'm not sure how scientific it is. Thank you for bringing up the cost of groceries as well. Ridiculous.
Thanks for this. It’s been spamming my TikTok feed even though I keep saying not interested and actually reporting it as false information. Horrendous.
Me too! My 1st thought when the videos started popping up was "Is this an MLM?" Esp when you take into account, it is so hard to find anything on the product and all the videos are so vague. Definite no no for me
Wow, thank you for this review!! I was about to hit pay, and then I thought i would check for reviews first. This was so helpful!!!
Hope you take your business to something more helpful, because this book is not it! Glad you found this video and similar commenters first 🥰
Thank you sooo much for saving me from purchasing that book. I did the quiz and then stopped before actually paying. I realized that the book seemed awfully vague and wasn't sure what I would be getting. I appreciate your thorough review and agree that it looks like beautifully made book with little substance.
Ugh I wished I’d seen this before buying it. It was such a waste and a pointless quiz when I specifically said “no” to Turkey and “no” to pork. Seriously received it and 90% of the recipes are all Turkey or Pork!!! When I emailed them they said “just substitute another protein like fish or chicken”….SO it’s NOT personalized then! Lies spread by “influencers” to make money, sad you can’t believe anything on FB or IG anymore….really appreciate your TRUE honest review!!!
Wow props to you for remaking this! Thank you for sharing I was just about to buy it but I said wait let me look up RUclips reviews first 😂
I so wish that I had done more research into this book before I purchased it. Everything you said in your original video is exactly what enticed me to purchase the book…and their app 🙁. Unfortunately, it was one of those 2 am, I can’t sleep purchases. I am a very picky eater and sometimes have to tell restaurants/people that I have allergies just to get my food the way I want it. So, I was excited that I could make it personalized to my tastes. When I got the ebook (I still haven’t received the book yet), I immediately looked at the meal plan and thought WTH is this??? And you are correct: lactose problem-eat lactose free substitute, gluten intolerance-eat gluten-free substitute, etc. I decided to think of this as me going out for a night at the casino and losing. But I did find your RUclips channel and you just gained a new subscriber out of this so there’s that 😀. Thank you for your frank, honest and humorous opinion, I appreciated it.
oh no!! I'm so sorry to hear you made your purchase and it wasn't what you hoped for, because this book is truly the farthest thing from personalized. I am glad to know they are just as lazy when it comes to gluten substitutions as well, so ridiculous. Well I'm as so so pleased you decided to stick around, I promise I'm not as ranty as this video haha.
Lol, I live for a good rant every now and then!
THANK YOU for being real AND taking their critiquing into consideration and updating your review. This book looks VERY basic and probably not what I'm looking for at all. Much appreciated for your sacrifice and research, etc.! ❤❤❤
THANK YOU! I was just about to purchase this and realized I should do more research because it's always spammed on Insta and Tik Tok and I couldn't find anything but your video review! I was looking for a recipe book tailored to me and my diet plans. I'm so glad I didn't fall for it! Thanks for being honest and still keeping your video up, it's still true.
I was this 👌🏽 close to buying the book, so many ads on IG. I'm glad I found your video, thank you! 🙏🏼
Love you kept your integrity! I would also be very intrigued to see someone order the gluten free or vegetarian book
Right? Would love to compare pages and see if they’re are all truly customized 😅
@@JacyErin perhaps there’s a Facebook group or something where others have compared pages, or already came up with the conclusion that they’re not truly customized 👀 just thinking !! 😂
You are hilarious! Thank you for the honest review and pointing out how ridiculous their so called substitute were, because you were totally right they are not actual substitutes. I would hope the company would take some pointers from your video and make some changes. Thank you for saving me from buying this book.
Girl, you are hilarious! So glad I found your video and didn't spend my money on this product as I've been on my fitness journey for quite a while and my expectations (and disappointments) would have been in line with yours! I appreciate your honest review and how you made respectful corrections for the company!
TY for your review, i was thinking of purchasing this book as well and happy I saw your review!
I had customized this book and was about to add my name but kept thinking their questions weren’t enough so before I bought it I started to check reviews.
I found your rant/review 😂
Thank You!!✨
You're so funny! 🤣 I feel your pain though. I ordered this too and was so confused when I got my ebook and my workout plan was 15 pages that told me to breathe, hydrate, and go for walks. 😳 Canceled the physical copy quick!!!
Yup! Like “gee whiz, I would’ve never thought!!” Haha Thanks for sharing your experience so others know not to get this book!
@@JacyErin Yup really helpful lol! And my recipe substitutions are like yours too. "Thanks, I don't need you to list three different types of eggs or three different types of lettuce, I think I got it." 😬🤣
Sooo helpful!!! Thank you for saving me $90! I was legit about to buy this crazy expensive book and thought, "hmm, I wonder if anyone has done a RUclips review of this book so I can preview it before I buy it?"
I’m really glad you held your ground and just adjusted and didn’t plain old take it down because this is really helpful! I would be so mad!
Thank you so so much! Was just about to buy it before I came across this video. THANK YOU!!!!
I was definitely intrigued because of the TikTok ads I’ve been watching but like others in the comments I saw red flags when it tried to tell me I could lose 19 pounds in two months… like what. Just no. And also that there was zero previews of what was inside the book. Thats why I turned to reviews and I’m glad you made this video and saved me my money and being stuck on a monthly plan.
I am getting these adds constantly I had a feeling it was a joke. I laughed at your commentary 😂😂 and happy I dodged this purchase.
Thank you…this popped up today on Facebook. I did their quiz and thought they did not ask enough questions and options were highly limited when answering questions. I, too, thought there would actually recipes. Everything I was concerned about you validated in this video.
Thank you , Thank you... I was so close to buying this book but I was skeptical. I was searching google for some reviews and I wasn't really getting a raw answer until I came across your review. What bothered me was that I didn't get a change to see what would be in my book before purchasing and that was a bit of a flag. Since seeing your video I deleted the email and said "hell no ". :)
First of all, thank you for making clarifying statements. This is the first video I’m seeing and I just am so impressed. With the DNA thing. I just went through the women’s version and the men’s version quiz cause I thought oh maybe me and my husband could do this but can’t see what differences are so I thought would look for reviews before actually buying. The men’s book DOES say “perfect body’s DNA” on the cover.
Thank you for your honest review. I’ve studied nutrition but from time to time it’s nice to take a step back & try other peoples tools. I kept seeing ads for this personalized book so I thought why not.
I took the quiz & at the end I thought, hang on, the questions weren’t that in-depth. So I started researching & found it hard to get information about what this book truly entailed.
I stumbled across your review & thank god I did because I would have been so mad receiving this book. The ads are extremely misleading & I was ordering it for structure & yummy recipes tailored to me.
It’s crazy that this is written by people who are nutritionist & dietitians.
I’m in Australia so it was not going to be cheap. Thank you for saving me from this purchase! 🧡
Omg. I just about bought this because, like you I thought it was based on a daily meal plan with recipes. Thanks for doing this review
I was THIS CLOSE to purchase this book! Thank you, now I won't have to :)
Thank you for your honest review! They grab you with their ads and I’m now glad that I didn’t waste my money.
I just took the test and was about to purchase this book, then I decided to check out any negative reviews. Thank you for your in depth review, I will not be purchasing this book! I would never stick to a meal plan with those food choices. Thank you!
I bought it, and by day 3 my gut health, mood and overall hunger improved. I love the fact that I have easy to follow recipes and helps me with the what should I eat next fatigue.
Thank you!! I was about to buy this but felt unsure. I agree with All of your points made and really appreciate this post!
I really enjoyed this video. You are super funny and I watched the entire video just for the giggles. Thank you for saving me money. I had filled out the questionnaire and I just felt like something was missing. So I googled the book and your video came up.
Thank you for clarifying the contents of this book. I also thought it would provide recipes and more personalised info but it does not. Still, it does provide portion assistance which I’m looking for. I’m looking for a general guide book so, I think I will get it still. Allowing to be creative with the recipes fits with my needs as well. Thank you for your video.
Update: Got the e-book and it’s exactly what I was looking for
Thank you for saving me money. I almost fell for the "oooh so pretty" marketing, but was weary when they literally show nothing of substance for a preview of what you get.
all looks and no substance is absolutely correct!
As someone who is lactose intolerant I agree with you on the points about the customization. Lactose intolerance has a range to it, like some people can't have any dairy at all and people like me can have some. I can't have milk or cream but cheese and yogurt are fine. So their recommendations would not be helpful for me at all because I need recipes that don't use milk period because I hate nut and alternative milks and I'm not buying lactose free anything because it usually still upsets my stomach. That should be addressed if I'm paying for customized meal plan.
Yes yes yes! If your whole branding is how customized it is, make it actually customized! Their quiz was simply not comprehensive enough
I also regret my purchase. I checked off that I couldn’t have nuts or soy and my diet plan is full of both. No new information from any other plan I have ever purchased. Now I just need to figure out how to cancel the app subscription.
Oh my gosh! You review is great and completely honest, thank you! I was about to purchase this and decided to look up some honest reviews. Yours is the only one I needed to see. 😁
I was just going to order it and I'm so glad I found your video!!!!
Thank you!!! I was able to buy this as they KEEP emailing me and I was so so tempted. Thank you - money saved!! X
I was about to buy this book and just decided to google reviews and came across your video. I am so glad I watched this 😂.
Thank you for this!! Same wigh other commenters here, I’m about to enter my payment deets but realized to check on some honest reviews and I came actoss your vid! You made very valid points on the purpose of the book. Thank you!
Bless you for making this video! I took the quiz and was about to purchase when I decided to Google "What does a beyond body book look like" because I wanted to have a general idea of the inside setup. Your video told me everything I needed to know! I would have been so mad if I purchased this and thought I was getting actual recipes!
Your thoughts on having consideration for the grocery shopping aspect woke me up! How many other diet plans out there are doing similar things, and how much money and food are people wasting with disorganized menu plans?? 🤦♀️
I was just looking into purchasing this book. They recommended me exercising 2 hours a day PLUS walking 2.5 hours a day to lose only 15 pounds in ONE YEAR. Not sure who holds employment and has time to exercise 4.5 hours per day 🤔
15 lbs in a year is not bad. its a sustainable amount. HOWEVER 4.5 hours /day you gotta have a lot of time on hand
@@CeliaOliveira1 if I’m going to exercise 4.5 hours every day I BETTER be losing more than 15 lbs.
I too had a nightmare experience with these guys.
I thought I bought the book and instead got the PDF (after picking colors and all. ) then when I tried to get a refund, it wasn’t until I realized it wasn’t coming in the mail I read I have 7 days for refund and it was day 10. I paid over 100 for nothing. I won’t use a pdf. They need to make it more clear. And I thought it would be exercises in the book I could check off. I’m tired of everything being on my phone and was excited to have a printed format. I still don’t know if it has exercises but looks like it may not.
Then after canceling the subscription, they billed me fifty something again and I disputed it. After much argument I found the email with my cancelation from a few months prior and they refunded my money. Poor accounting tracking.
No matter how good a product may be. If you have a bad experience- no matter how wrong they make you realize you are, you’re not going back. No one wants a constant reminder of negative feelings.
Thank you so much for this review. I have been getting tons of ads and tempted to buy tho Beyond Body Book but was concerned about the book being very generic based on the vague questions they asked. They didn't ask really "tailored" questions.
Thank you for this fabulous perspective. I love your real approach and the parts disliked were things I would have been upset with also. They need to address their quiz because they advertise how personal this is going to be but their quiz is vague. There are so many things it should ask and take into account but it doesn’t. It just covers the basics you can get from any other overly advertised book/program. I found your video refreshingly honest. I will be following.
Thank you for this!!! I completely appreciate your review, you saved me a lot of money
I've bought the book and while I've had some of the same thoughts, actually going through the diet brings solid results!
So it did work?
@@kaylibaker9838 paid actor lol
@@shannondempsey8561 🤣
Thank you for the review. I was ready to purchase, but thought I'd better look up some reviews first. Another red flag I found with the quiz was they did not have any questions regarding any part of menopause, not menopausal, pre-menopausal, menopausal, or post. There is a huge difference on how the body sheds weight during these cycles.
Omg thank you! I totally was about to take the quiz but thought I should look up reviews.
Thank you soooo much I just took the quiz and before purchase I figured I should look up a few reviews. Yours was extremely clear and helpful! You are awesome👌🏾
I am SO GLAD I googled this and your video showed up! I was on the fence about this for days. There were so many neg reviews on trust pilot regarding shipping and credit card charges but not much about the program. You have saved me from wasting my money. Thank you! BTW - I LOVE your hair!
I don’t eat tofu and my book has several recipes that call for tofu and the only substitutes are different types of tofu 🤦🏽♀️
