Having read reviews about Dan and 80/20…

Having read reviews about Dan and 80/20 I decided to join. What can I say Dan and his team are amazing, supportive and very friendly. Best thing I ever done was joining, physically and mentally a totally different person.
Thank you so much Dan and team x

A lifestyle change if you embrace it

I have done pretty much every diet there is going- lost weight and put it all back on.
This is the first one that I really believe what it says in the title -lifestyle plan. The message is so simple eat enough to feed you body, drink plenty of water and walk to create a calorie deficit. It is still fairly early days for me but any question I have had has been responded to promptly and politely. One thing that makes it different is the mindset work - focus on positivity in your life not the negative (exactly what the CBT course I have been doing says). I intend to stick with it - I know I am paying a certain amount each month and I am committed to 16 weeks because the rationale behind the set up has 16 weeks worth of guidance. No different to the well known groups where you can purchase a block number of weeks - but if you miss a week you miss the content - here if life gets in the way the information and guidance is still there for you to refer to - go back do the help sheets again.
You are encouraged to send photos in to help you see the difference in your body not being bound by a set of weighing scales.
I for one will be happy to follow it through as I feel it has the potential to be a life changing system.

My experience with 80/20

My experience with 80/20 has been nothing but positive and live changing. I’m halfway through and cant wait to see what comes next, I have no guilt about food or drink anymore before i was bordering on a eating disorder because of diets. My husband says it like having a new wife with the energy and confidence i have now. I want to thank dan and the team for the support on the lives, emails and phone calls. I love the new format and can see where the company is heading, and I’m glad I'm along for the journey.

Amazing plan and people xx

The 5 stars aren't enough to show how highly I rate this lifestyle, Dan and the team are so committed to helping us change our lives the positive energy is amazing.
6 weeks on the plans has changed my outlook on life as well as relationship with food and fitness, so looking forward to continuing the experience.
The mindset part of the journey is amazing, to understand why we make the bad decisions and learn from them is great.
Dan Sean and kaz thank you so much guys for giving me a whole new look on life , you are amazing people xxx 😁😁😁

I’m in week 6 of the programme with consistent cm’s loss each week! The most important thing that I’ve gained from being part of this amazing programme is after 20 years of being on anti depressants, this is my first week of not taking these! Since joining I have really concentrated on my mindset, CBT and tried to better understand my WHY! Dan I can’t thank you enough for this programme and providing the tools for a healthy lifestyle that takes the shift from what the scales say and to how I feel, a changing shape and better understanding! Keep changing lives mate!!

I dont have a bad word to say about this company/plan.. they have helped me massively. The Facebook group is designed for a positive place for members to help keep their spirits up when things get tough and any troubles are directed to the team via emails so that you can get the help with your issue. I do believe that negativity feeds negativity and having a positive place to feed from is far more helpful.

Great job guys. Love the plan so far x

Amazing ! X

I found Dan on TikTok and after watching him for a while I decided to give it a bash, I’d tried everything else so why not ! I have chronic fatigue syndrome and can spend a large period of time resting and sleeping . Since joining the plan 5 weeks ago my episodes have decreased, I am able to get out and do my 10000 steps most days, my depression has lifted and not only do I feel great I am getting great results . Over 61 cm lost in 5 weeks, no binging, no restrictions and no food is off limits . The team are amazing and always so helpful, I just wish I would have found this plan sooner. It’s the first time I’ve ever felt my goals are in reach and I have tried many diets, many times . Cannot recommend enough !! Xx Thanks Team x

Thyroid warrior life changing plan

Am on week 5 on the 80/20 lifestyle plan and what can I say. This plan has changed my life in all aspects. I was diagnosed with Hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease 3 years ago and piled on the weight, 3 stone to be exact. I was depressed and at my lowest. This plan is absolutely amazing it isn’t a fad diet it is a lifestyle change and looks at all aspects of weight issues such as mindset, nutrition and amazing support from the team and Facebook group. Since joining my mindset has improved massively, am no longer depressed, am more active and the inches are dropping off me.

Absolutely love this plan and the support. 100% recommend this plan it’s not a quick fix it’s a lifestyle change through education.

Aggressive and embarrassing

I personally cannot recommend this company to anyone, based on my own experience and feedback I have seen from other members.
I joined the plan after seeing Dan on Tik Tok everyday, I thought yeah he looks like a great guy, i'll give it a go. I signed up in April, submitted my measurements, was added to the Facebook 'Academy' and got going. After that, Dan disappeared from Tik Tok to focus on his new podcast and new format of lives on the Academy with two other people in a 'professional' set up. I wasn't a fan of the new layout, felt a bit disappointed what got me attracted to the plan and the brand was no longer what it was. I made 3 Tik Tok videos on my own page about how it wasnt really for me anymore - I wasn't rude, abusive or saying anything detrimental to the business. Lots of people responded saying they felt the same so I thought oh, i'll post to Dan as constructive feedback because that could be the difference between a lot of people cancelling at the end of 16 weeks and not. I then got a private message from someone saying they couldn't believe his reply. His reply I couldn't see because i'd been blocked. They kindly sent me it though.
@danwheeler8020: You don't have to watch my lives. Absorb the life changing content and enjoy your life. No ones forcing you to watch the lives mate. Take care
@danwheeler8020: 3 videos wasn't enough huh. Had to tag me in the 4th one just to get the attention you are gagging for.
@danwheeler8020: I wish you all the best, but you haven't helped yourself here. You walked into Tesco, don't like the lights & moaning about it. Don't shop in Tescos
@danwheeler8020: You spent 4 videos moaning that you don't want them then. They are a free extra. Job done
I was gobsmacked at the response - from a business owner? I then realised I was kicked out the Facebook academy AND he blocked my email address on all of the company email accounts so I could no longer get in touch. At this point, Tik Tok was going a bit crazy and I posted this, saying I had no option but to go to trading standards and couldn't believe this was a 'professional' companies response to a bit of feedback. Obviously Dan or his colleagues were following what I was doing on Tik Tok because suddenly my email was unblocked and I got a reply saying all my money was being refunded and they wish me well.
I genuinely did not attack Dan, slander the brand or him as a person and that is the reply I got. The worrying thing is the amount of people now messaging me saying they've been treated the same. One woman posted on the academy she was struggling and didnt lose weight/inches and her comments were deleted. So that is how we deal with it? We delete the negative and only keep 'Dans Army' posts of positive to hoodwink people into signing up to this plan.
I will still see what Trading Standards have to say even though I got my money back, I think aggressive behaviour like that needs to be addressed. One man said he phoned his wife calling her names and i've also been sent a voicenote he sent to someone else threatening them with legal teams.
I'd avoid it all costs unless you want no support, silenced if you have an issue and abuse if you dare to speak up.

Hi Emma

Thank you for the feedback, we take all feedback seriously and use it to improve our services throughout the year.

Anyone looking to join this…

Anyone looking to join this 'plan'....don't!
For £25 a month you get bugger all. You pay a joining fee and then you're locked into paying for 16 weeks.
You submit measurements and get no feedback whatsoever. They only want you're measurements and pictures of you in your underwear so they can decline paying you with their 'money back guarantee'. I know someone on the 'plan' that had lost 1cm by the end of the 16 weeks so she didn't get a refund.
Only support you get for the money is the fb group but any time you post something that they deem negative I.e the plan isn't working for me or I haven't had a response to my emails, then the comment gets removed and then they block you from the group.
You get sent emails with information about fit points or purchasing a heart rate monitor but when people question it in the fb group then you're told to ignore that as its old information and it's changed now. It's not a polished product and there are lots of things that could be done much better.
He calls SW a cult but all his members are just as bad. They all say 'what do you expect for £25 a month?'........well for less than that I was getting a weekly meeting and daily check ins with my group leader if needed when I was on SW and I lost 8st
Did his 80/20 and only lost 4cm and put on 11lbs and I was following it to the letter and that was only after 8 weeks!

After scrolling TikTok I came across Dan and was completely hooked. Felt like everything he was saying was 100% me over many many years of fad diets and now being heavier than ever. Decided last weekend to join and I can honestly say over only 7 days I have never ever felt better. I’m so excited for the weeks ahead. For way too long it’s been about how much I weigh and how I look and I’ve been depressed and miserable. I’ve ditched the scales and now it’s all about being the best I can both physically and mentally. Dan actually cares and wants us all to succeed, hence the hard work him and his team put in! I would highly recommend this lifestyle. Thanks Dan xx

Best plan ever to lose weight for ever

This programme is amazing cant recommend it enough. I’ve tried just about every toxic diet going and now I feel like Dans given me the tools to lose weight at a sensible rate whilst being happy so it stays off for life. No more yo yo. I’ve not binged since starting 80/20 as my body no longer feels deprived I’m eating food I want to and nothing is banned. I did the free 7 day trial first as I didn’t think calorie counting was for me as I’ve found it should destroying but what’s previously been soul destroying is having so few. Dan’s team work out what you should actually eat and I have loved counting calories as I have so many and finally have the no bull approach as I have the the number no hiding between pro points, syns, and even body coach cycle plans (sorry Joe Wickes) but 80/20 and Dan’s programme have finally given me the tools to live a life without being miserable

This is the best plan ever

This is the best plan I have ever been on. Lost 32cm in 3 weeks. No weighing on scales just measurements. The support is amazing, everyday Dan does a live and answers any questions you may have. There are fitness classes you can join. You get lots of ideas and peer support from other members too. The moderators are great too, Louis has been great. Any issues you can email and the team get back to you within a day. Personal experiences are shared by Dan and he knows his stuff he has been there needing to lose weight and change his mindset. He has done and wants to change lives. Love it 😍
