I believe that Steve's heart is in the right place, however after being a group member and paying a high fee (over 300!) for a challenge I would have to say the value isn't there unless you are someone who knows nothing about nutrition or fitness. I was in the group, did not receive adequate support (asked questions, asked for help when I felt like I was starving). I am an intermediate lifter, explained I run 25kms a week, and weight lift 6 to 9 hours every week. I had explained I was incredibly hungry, having headaches, not losing my last few lbs, not recomping my body, and it wasn't until several weeks in that Steve suggested that I increase calories slightly and add a few more carbs, but keep my protein high. After making a post in a weight lifters Facebook group I'm in, it was suggested I reverse diet, increase calories especially carbs slowly but significantly, lower the protein slightly, stop running, that I saw my last few lbs move and my body start to grow more muscle. I don't know if Steve has too many clients, or if he was just looking to make a quick buck, but it felt deceptive and frustrating by the end being in a group of novices and spinning my wheels. I would not recommend this service, and feel frustrated that during a pandemic I lost money, and also paid for supplements that made me feel unwell (it wasn't asked if caffeine affects me, which is does and I was recommended pills with caffeine in them), which when I asked to return for a refund, was told I would be refunded that money and never saw it.
I think there are plenty of free facebook groups who offer better plans and advice, dieticians (often covered by benefit plans) for eating plans, and trainers who offer free workouts. I thought paying for it would give me results, instead it dragged me backwards. :(
