"Total waste of money"

This program is a total waste of money. If you realise that it’s not the right one for you, they don’t let you cancel. They signed me up for over $3k & didn’t give me any options. Their advice is rubbish. All you get is a short phone call from a so-called “dietitian”. That’s not worth over $3k. Phone them - they won’t even tell you who the owner/director is.

"Very unhappy customer ."

I'm like a lot of other unhappy people , I joined after being assured I would have no issue in losing weight.
Aaron signed me up said no counting calories, tracking or counting points , this will work for you he said you will have no issue in losing 16kgs, and when your down and frustrated because you have tried other things, WW, lite & easy, shakes, etc They seem to have all the answers and tell you all the things you want to hear. After 10 weeks and I had lost 1kg. I told my dietitian this is not working for me , I was told I need to track everything so she could count my macros , and up my exercise, I was already doing 30 to 50 mins walking a day. I work full time and have no more time to give. I have requested cancellation and been told no. I have been removed from the facebook support group even though I had not posted or remarked on the page. So like others I have reported them as scammers , Dr Ross endorses these programs , does he know how Miyagi deal with unhappy customers. I will be writing reviews everywhere I can. I'm happy for those who have found this program helpful , But its not working for everyone.

"Definitely not value for money"

Definitely not value for money. I am trying to withdraw from the program and hitting roadblocks. There is nothing I have learnt that I was not been previously doing. Today reported to ACCC after being told Friday I would not be released from the heavy financial obligation. Be very careful before you sign up.

"Professional advice and experience"

I have found this to be a very comprehensive and helpful program. I am seeing results after 4 weeks and seeing a shift in my thinking and awareness of the benefits of a good diet. The dieticians are well informed and very professional, providing guidance along with recipes and information that builds into a resource that can be referenced at any time. Dr Ross does a live Q and A each week which is interesting with solid advice we can all understand. I am very pleased with my progress and determined to make a lasting difference.

"Healthier Lifestyle"

This a a great program that improved my approach to healthy living. Although I did not lose weight I gained valuable information and support to eat healthier and be more active. With support I identified the issues that blocked me from achieving my goals and developed strategies to manage this. My goals were not huge but involved incorporating small changes in to my life that were not stressful. I received fortnightly support from my dietitian. She answered my questions and encouraged me on my journey. I now have information and knowledge to continue with my healthy goals resulting in more daytoday energy, less binge eating and more regular physical activity as well as feeling more satisfied with my body image. Thank you

"Incredibly disappointed with this…"

Incredibly disappointed with this program, the dieticians that I had changed throughout the program and the approach to losing weight also changed throughout the program. Both lovely caring people with best intentions at heart. I put on 5 kg during the course of the six months and this was extremely disappointing. You are unable to change your mind after the first week and the program is really quite expensive. If it doesn’t work out for you, I would’ve definitely invested the money into seeing a psychologist instead. I also feel that being perimenopausal was not taken into account, nor my personal circumstances, additionally the on boarding consultant promised me that this was the way that I would lose 8 kg which in hindsight was completely unrealistic and fraudulent. If you have had no health knowledge around diet and exercise in your life before, then this program, maybe helpful however if you are already exercising fairly regularly and believe that you know the right types of food to eat, this is not the program for you .

"Miyagi Program Is Excellent"

This program gives your the opportunity to take control of your health and ownership for your decisions . It is very supportive with a weekly meeting with a dietitian (Bronte is my dietitian). It has great knowledgeable information and recepies. A awesome Facebook group and video links to a heart specialist. There is no magic pill to good health choices you get out what you put in. Since I joined in February I have lost 6kg. Dropped 5 cm around my waist . Reduced blood sugars from 15+ to 10 and blood pressure from 180/120 to 136/83 . So at present I’m am more in control of my Diabetes and hypertension. Thank you Miyagi team especially Bronte. Oh and I have introduced plant based foods to my diet thanks to the educational programs.

"Heart smart program - great experience and results"

I am so happy to let you all know that after 5 months working with my fab dietitian Bree, I have wonderful news from my doctor. My blood tests, especially my liver ones, are all normal. I have lost a few kilos, I am more active and Bree has been working with me on my healthy food and drink choices. My pantry looks quite different and I am practising mindful food prep (all prepared from scratch) and am really grateful for the opportunities this program and especially Bree have given me.
I am stoked. 😀

"Not your average “diet” program"

The Miyagi program is very different to any other “diet” program I have signed up for… that’s because it’s not what I would refer to as a “diet” program. It’s a holistic approach to nutrition and health.
Having completed the 6 months with Alicia, my dietician, I am in a much healthier place with regard to my HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, blood pressure, and overall energy levels. I originally signed up with the goal of weight loss but found that this goal became less important the more I focussed on my overall health. I have lost weight but more importantly my health has improved beyond what I thought possible. It’s amazing how making what seem like little changes to your eating and activity can have such significant effects.
If you’re looking for a quick fix weight loss program where everything is dictated for you, this isn’t it. But if you’re looking to learn sustainable healthy habits, change your relationship with food and your body, and feel confident to keep going beyond the program, I would highly recommend Miyagi. You can achieve great things if you are willing to put in the effort and pay attention to what you are being taught.

"This program has been such a positive…"

This program has been such a positive experience for me. Blood tests at the start of the program revealed a number of health concerns which, to be honest, scared me but with the support of my weekly dietitian consultation with Elly, I was able to take control of my health and significantly improve some quite worrying blood test results. Elly was supportive, positive and encouraging and she taught me so much about how good food choices can improve my health. This program teaches you that weight loss diets do not work. The only thing that truly works is choosing to eat healthy foods and meals that everyone in the family can eat. The program also got me moving! I used to be very sedentary and this was a big contributor to feeling always tired and lethargic. After 26 weeks of setting weekly goals of good eating and exercise, I have slowly lost weight, decreased my cholesterol and blood sugar levels, increased my energy levels and I feel so much healthier and in control.
With the tools that Elly has taught me, along with the fantastic information provided in the app and Facebook support, I am confident that I will continue heading towards a health weight range and improving my overall health.
Thank you Elly, my champion dietitian, for your support and guidance. I am so glad that I signed up for this program. It works!!
