Laura can’t help you. Just Google the macros formula, calculate your own macros, get the free 3rd party app she has you use anyway and save yourself the money. She won’t meal plan with you, doesn’t provide any recipes, won’t review your recipes with you, and is pretty judge-y tbh (which is obviously not great for a weight loss program). She simply wants you to log all of your food through MyFitnessPal and then talk about your progress with her each week and “ask questions”. Well, don’t ask “what food should I eat? Do you have any recipes? Can you look over these recipes with me to tell me if they’re good or ideas on how to replace ingredients? What do I do if I mess up and don’t meal plan for a day?” Cause she can’t (won’t?) answer those questions or help give you ideas. Also, communication isn’t great. Over the 2 month period I was working with her, we spoke once and emailed a handful of times. I will admit I’m not great at reaching out, but I wasn’t exactly ignoring her. It seemed like the onus was completely on me. I also found out *accidentally* WEEKS after we started working together that the whole time she didn’t have access to the food I was logging in MyFitnessPal. She never even reached out to be like, “hey are you logging? Cause I can’t see it!” Then one week I was going to be on vacation and I didn’t have the time to talk with her on the phone for an hour, so I asked if we could email and that was clearly an annoyance for her. I also told her that it I actually liked emailing a little bit better because it was easier for me to reference her information; go back and reread it have it in writing instead of having to feverishly take notes while I was having a conversation with her about a bunch of stuff I don’t understand (eat this when you’re eating this because it counteracts this, etc.). I’m also a mom with a family and a full time job, so while I had no problem talking to her on the phone, I thought if we could email all of the big important stuff throughout the week, then our phone calls wouldn’t have to be an hour and a half long each time. She wasn’t about it. Finally, I said “whatever” and just stopped emailing back and cut my losses, and she was fine with just taking my money and not reaching out (they have you pay up front). About a month later she had her husband Sean reach out instead, who I also trained with and was great, until he involved himself in the situation and “took her side” instead of being a neutral arbiter and/or “manager”, which was weird and unprofessional. Not a great business model.
