The8020lifestyleplan Reviews 

The group is not worth 25 per month, and the idea of moving more to create a calorie deficit is nothing new nor worth paying for. The plan seems to be more about promoting his personal brand than anything else. The lives were more of a childish show, and I know some of them even deteriorated into weird political ramblings about Covid. All underpinned by needless aggression to anyone who raises any concerns. Would avoid.

Like many i signed up after seeing Dan on Tik Tok, i was soon left very disappointed and stuck signed up to a 16 week plan. The only support you get is the face book academy which is just people asking the group questions which are never answered by anyone who runs the plan. If you email his PA answers the questions. You can, however, get support from a coach once a month for around £100. I felt that unless you had something of use to Dan he wasn't interested. All live Q&As are done in the day when most people work and i got offended by some of the language he uses, just no need to get a point across. I was also emailed someones before photos in error which concerned me under GDPR as made me concerned about the security of my info. A lot of what he talks about is your state of mind, well steer clear as you end up more anxious

Pre ordered a signed book with pdf for £50 a year and a half ago. All I’ve received is the pdf. If the book order cannot be fulfilled, then surely everyone should be refunded.

Have been on this plan for 7 weeks, I wanted to wait till I was about half way before I left a review so I had the chance to really give it a go before I commented on the plan overall.

This is the best plan I have ever been on!
Every other plan I have been on has been overly restrictive, unhelpful, toxic and overall have me an unhealthy relationship with food.
Since starting this plan I have massively improved my relationship with food, have only had 1 binge in that time whereas it would probably be at least 4 times in that frame of time without this plan or on any other that I've tried.
The support I've received on the academy FB page has been fantastic, the only time I needed to email them was when I first tried to sign up there was an issue setting up payment, I got an email back within an hour or two and got it sorted.
The mindset information I've received so far has been invaluable and has helped me so much.
I have lost 32cm since starting my journey, I look forward to continuing my journey with the 80/20 lifestyle plan and can't thank Dan and the team enough and am soo pleased I found you on tiktok. #dansarmy

I found Dan on TikTok last year and loved his attitude. Fast forward to this year and I was at a low point. I reached out with a desperate plea for help to Dan’s team and he called me. I sobbed on the phone for half an hour and he listened. Most importantly, he understood how I felt as he’d been there himself.

He gave me calories and steps to try for a week and within 5 days I was in a completely different place. I signed up to the plan and am so pleased I did.
The plan focuses on mindset which is where I have struggled before. I’ve had no end of therapy and rehab but something about the plan and eating more, moving more AND focusing on mindset has really changed my life in a short space of time.
Having previously been a national SW success story which lead to eating disorders and mental health issues, I thought I had no choice but to continue feeling rubbish about myself.
However, since embarking on the 8020 plan, My relationship with my man is better, my relationship with my kids is better and MOST IMPORTANTLY, my relationship with food and myself is 100 times better.

The academy is a really useful support mechanism and I get so much out of listening to the lives when I can.

Dan helped me help myself out of a black whole and for that I’m eternally grateful. His entire team are an asset and it’s nice to have a bit of banter when we are dealing with such raw emotions throughout this journey.

What can I say except this totally works and never has there been a person more dedicated,experienced and just full on empathetic with his members ( he’s been there!) than Daniel Wheeler. I have known him through roughly 3 ish years through 80/20 and cannot promote 4this programme enough all he did was change my life 🤷‍♀️ Xx Julie O

The calories and macros given to you at a cost of £25 are available for absolutely nothing via many online TDEE calculators. They are supposed to be individual to you but he uses the same formula so clearly they are not.

If you have the audacity to show any negativity or question him Mr Wheeler at best removes you from his "Academy" (Facebook Group) or at worst becomes aggressive and sets his attack dogs (those members under his cult like spell) onto you.

There is no focus on excercise other than telling you to do 10000 steps a day. Many parts of the plan still being sent out are "being removed" and have been that way for weeks.

The coaching videos he sends out feature 2 people who no longer work for him from the previous incarnation of the plan. Updated videos and emails are "coming soon" but again that has been happening for weeks. Basically the plan is just a rehash of his previous failed business. Instead of getting the plan upto par he seems to be concentrating all his efforts on his bizarre "TV Show" (podcast) which mostly seems to be him and two other people behaving like children. I'm really not sure what the relevance is to the plan.

I'm afraid Mr Wheelers ego is really the only thing on sale and it is simply out of control.

Edit: for podcast read live stream in garden or garage.

When I stated all was going good for 2 weeks then I lost my dad. Dan and his team have help me out loads from answering my questions in emails to talking go me on lives. The plan works I have lost weight and cm off my body even though I'm not 100% on it yet. I have 3 to 4 emails a day the social media platforms from Facebook, Instagram and tick tock are grate. Thank you Dan Wheeler and team you are great

I started my 80/20 lifestyle around 2 weeks ago, starting with the 7 day trail. I wouldn’t consider myself someone who talks about problems. But it’s been amazing to have someone such a Dan, Sean and karyn open up and has given me such a confidence boost. I feel like my anxiety is at a new level of calm and I have so much more confidence in myself. I’ve been to the GP I’ve had CBT but it’s like a conveyer belt, in and out and no return. I barely managed to get advise from my gp and they told me to use a low FODMAP diet and that’s it.

I feel like I’ve been taught things that should be common knowledge but aren’t. I feel like I’ve got the best friend I always needed to give me that little nudge to see how amazing I’ve actually been doing and not self criticism to much.

My job is stressful and it makes you forget to look after yourself, not stopping to have water, missing breaks and not eating, or having a break and instead of eating the food you’ve brought you sit and eat cake and biscuits to help with the emotional needs. This is all too well knowing in any kind of care work whether it’s a hospital, a care home, residential home the list goes on. You’ve made me realise to be able to give my patients 100% of what they need, I need to put myself first, making sure I sleep well and eat a good meal and pee when I need to. Because doing that means my patient centred care has been on point everyday, not just the few days after I’ve had a couple of days off to recover!
The only thing I can say is, thank you!
You really do just change lives.

You are a legend never forget that! To the whole team you are amazing !!! #dansarmy

I came across Dan on TikTok and started following him, what he said made sense. I was drawn in, hooked! With promises of a loss of 1-3cm per week and being able to eat 2125 cals a day what was not to like right? Eating whatever I liked (as told I could) and getting in my 10k steps I thought I was in for some good results. Not! By week 3 I had lost 2.5cm, I emailed the team for help and was told to trust the process and keep going. This is also the 'support' given on the academy - trust the process. By week 6 I was still at a 2.5cm loss - but the gains negated the loss. Again I reached out for support and after not hearing anything for a few days I posted to the FB group (sorry I can't call it academy) that I was unhappy with my progress and lack of support (as a paying member) and asked how to cancel my subscription. I was promptly blocked from the group and I understand that a Live was done about me calling me out as a liar. I made a TikTok about this, and have been giving honest opinion on my TikTok about my journey. Well, that's where it all went wrong. Dan made many comments on my video as did a few of his followers, sadly I didn't screen shot them and he has now blocked me from all social media so I can't see what he has to say. I have received a text message telling me to stop harassing him or he will get his lawyer to issue me with a cease and desist order. He says it is not right of me to slate the plan that he has worked so hard for and tarnish his business (is that not what he does to SW, WW and any other plan that is not his), all I have done is given my opinion of my experience. It has now been agreed that my subscription is cancelled and I am being given a refund, although I have to wait 5 business days for that to happen. Having now been on the other side of the bullying and intimidation of this person I can only hope that this review will help someone not make the mistake I have and join this plan. There are alot of members that will not speak out for fear of the bullying that follows. Please don't put yourself in that statistic.
As long as you only post positive things in the FB group you will be ok. No negativity allowed, it gets you blocked! Don't question anything, you will be blocked.
The content you receive via email is dated. The first refers to a handbook (that was scrapped, no hand book) you have to print off various worksheets that are emailed to you, you get told to buy Melatonin (prescription only drug in the UK) as well as various other supplements. You get told about Fit Points that are supposed to be earned to redeem against alcohol (another part of the plan that has been scrapped). You are promised access to recipes on the FB group - I never found one. The only thing you get for your monthly payment is access to a FB group.

I'm just about to complete week 6 and my only regret is that I didn't join sooner.
I work full time (not from home) as well as having a family to run round after and I honestly didn't think that I'd ever find time to focus on me.
The 80/20 plan isn't a quick weight loss fix so if that's what you want then it's not going to be for you. It's giving you something that will last a lifetime if you choose to take the time to learn what they have to teach. The focus on improving sleep and mental health has been amazing and an added bonus to been healthier.
Dan and his team have been amazing with any questions I've had. I love how supportive the group is and how people in their share their experiences and congratulate people on their achievements.
There are also 2 live classes a day that are included in the plan, I'm currently hooked on the step classes which I find a fantastic way to start my day.

Great bloke, fantastic plan. Worked wonderfully for me. So glad I chose Dan and his plan and his wonderful team.

I can honestly say, I have been part of this for about 8 weeks and I am so pleased. I haven’t felt like I had to have a ‘cheat day’ or felt like I wasn’t good enough because the scales said I wasn’t! You don’t weigh on this plan it’s all measurement based, it’s about fat loss not weight loss although it stands to reason that eventually the weight loss will follow as you get smaller.

I've been doing the plan for 5 weeks and it is working for me - simple as that. I came into it very wary and unsure if it would be right for me but I have given it a chance and have found I've got way more energy, I have a sense of freedom around food and I'm learning about nutrition and what works for my body .

It isn't going to be a quick fix and Dan is very up front about that. A lot of people in the group are trying to heal their relationship with food and with their bodies and this takes time and work.

The business has grown extremely fast in a short space of time and Dan and his team are doing a brilliant job of staying ahead of it all and still producing loads of content and providing support for all the members.

I've only been a member for 2 weeks now, but it's just shown me how unhealthy all the "diets" I tried in the past were.
I'm eating more, and things that were banned, drinking more water, moving more and no more having to deep throat my bananas so I don't have to sin them.
Feeling full of energy and receiving great support from everyone.

I've been a member of 80/20 since March, and I have to say-- the positive reviews on here are NOT EXAGGERATING. This program is simple and game changing. It's this: eat more, move more. By eating enough (and we are so steeped in diet culture that the idea of eating ENOUGH is already revolutionary) we can change our relationship with food into a healthier one, AND we'll have the energy and hormonal balance to move our bodies and lose fat. I am 43, I have been dieting and bingeing since I was 17, and I have ulcerative colitis, which in itself makes eating really challenging. And in the first 4 weeks, I already felt better about myself. I look amazing and fitter, and I've lost CM's around my hips and waist, but more importantly: this is the first time in my adult life that I am not making deals with myself about sweets, not regretting food, not postponing going on a DATE because I'm worried about what I'll eat or drink. I'm freed up from worrying about food and fat: I could go get a PhD with this new brain space! Come to 80/20 because you want to lose weight. STAY because you realize that there's a whole other world available to you, filled with confidence and hope.

I've lost over 35cms in 6 weeks. And not one single day has felt like a diet because this is plan is very much not a diet. This is for people who genuinely want to get off the destructive diet path (weight off and on and off and on...). Here is what you get in the 16 week basic plan:

Mindset work based on proven CBT and positive psychology - each week challenges you to explore your behaviours, habits and responses to food and eating.

Nutritional education - What are fats, carbs and proteins? How do they serve your body? What are the myths we've all bought into?

Customised calorie allowance - a very modest deficit that gives you the energy to move more and feel good.

Access to a supportive, friendly Facebook group full of resources. Questions get answered quickly, people are kind and encouraging with each other.

And more - live feeds, exercise classes, recipes, lots of stuff.

Newsflash - you don't have to like Dan Wheeler (or any other member of the team) to benefit from this plan. This isn't a personality contest, this is a group of passionate people who care about helping people improve their lives. But like any change in your life it will make a difference if you follow the plan - watch the videos, do the mindset work, complete the challenges. And you need to be patient because making long term changes take time.

This plan if the first one that actually seems to care about you as a person and not just a number. I love that Dan and the team see us as people and realise that there is more to life then a diet so encourages you to eat what you want within your calories. I struggle with mobility but even I can 'just walk'

This is a TRUE lifestyle plan and not a FAD diet like the others that just want your money

This lifestyle plan is amazing, it has taken the stress out of eating well and losing body fat. The knowledge I have been given has really educated me to eat better. My mental health has improved and so has my sleep pattern. Dan and the team are amazing and friendly and always on hand to support me.

This plan has changed my life!!
I now eat to fuel my body with good nutrition without restrictions, not getting weighed is liberating and the mental help along the way is key to success.

This is a lifestyle not a diet that will stay with you forever!!

After 4 months you will have learned everything you need to stay on a healthy lifestyle, so unlike other “diet clubs” you complete after the 4 months, the other clubs want your subscriptions forever (years) and want you to “yo-yo” diet.

Thank you Dan - Legend !
