Miyagi Avis 

. Communication. This was very important to me. I have alot going on in which contributed to not always being able to achieve my goals. My coach, is a great listener & always suggested ways of breaking down options to help assist in achieving my goals.
2. Trustworthy, honesty, reliable, professional. My coach ticked all of these boxes for me. I've been able to get back on track with a healthy eating plan. Whilst the exercise has been slower to achieve, it is happening, finally. The most important thing I achieved, was to take time out for myself. Moving house recently, this was such a huge thing to try and do. I welcomed the fortnightly calls from my coach who always steered me in the right direction, providing support and resources for the programme to refer to.
3. The Miyagi Healthy App. This was such a user friendly system. I found no problem navigating around it at all. From great recipes, videos, moving scheduled appointments etc, just so easy.
4. I enjoyed the programme and love the fact I'm still able to have access to the App and reach out to the team.
5. The Miyagi FB I joined as well and whilst not posting alot here, I did follow the group for some great members advice and their achievements too.
6. Finally, with all the information, support provided, the thing to remember, is, it was up to me to refer to and use it. I've completed my programme and can say Miyagi certainly excelled in all of the above. They have given me the opportunity to think differently about myself in the way of living a healthier lifestyle and the importance of my own wellbeing, so thank you.

One of the best decisions I have made in a long time. I have learned so much about food, nutrition and health. I’ve lost a bit of weight, I’m more active, feel a million times better and have not had a migraine since I started looking after myself better. The weekly chats with my dietitian are so good and the tracking app is fabulous. At the start it helps you and your dietitian to see what you are eating and also why. Are you hungry? Bored? Anxious? Habit eating? Your dietitian gives you feedback and helps you to improve your balance on the plate and suggests additions or subtractions for balance.
The program is about empowering you as a reasonable person to educate yourself by using the tools offered in the app., via the FB support group and videos and live chats etc.
I work full time so joining the live chats is not possible but I can watch them later if I choose to.
I have not felt this well in a very long time.

My experience has been enjoyable thanks to Clare's friendly, informative, helpful, and educational guidance and support. She has been clear and concise on the information and advice she has provided, making it easy to understand and follow. She has been great in the way she has answered any questions I've had. She has been encouraging in my weight loss journey, which has been much appreciated. Clare shows genuine interest in how I am and the progress I'm making. I'm very grateful for the advice, guidance and support I've received from Clare. It has definitely made my weightloss journey easier and more enjoyable.

Unfortunately, I signed up - there was no real option to not sign - very pushy on entry phone call to sell, sell, sell! No cooling-off period. My doctor would not approve for me getting the blood tests required for the dietitian consult and did not want me to waste my money on this. Plus since joining 10 days ago I had been in hospital with a medical condition of which I am currently being treated for. Miyaki will not allow me to be out of the contract as I need an exceptional circumstance (Basically a dying reason) to be absolved from this agreement. My emails have been bombarded with videos, emails etc and it appears that you basically need to research everything on your own. It is all online. I am not sure that a contract cannot allow a cooling-off period. I am far from happy and will be taking this further.
In response to your reply - Actually, there is no resolution other than you are stuck in the contract and have to pay! So not quite sure where/how you think we are trying to resolve this issue.

This is quoting another dissatisfied customer who is 100% correct "Too expensive for what you get, guilted almost bullied into doing the program and then put under pressure to accept without a chance to process information. Also cost was told in a way that was cryptic and misleading, but it was too late by the time you figured it out to get out of anything as there is no cooling off period. Unless you genuinely have no idea about what food is good or bad this is a pointless program."

Having the Dietician to talk to every fortnight is fantastic and knowing that when our time is up I can still access the Healthy app for healthy recipes, information and use Facebook for support and information, too. So far, it's been the best thing I have done.

The program has been great for me. I went into it ready for change. My dietitian listened and help me develop sustainable changes. The initial screening was easy and helpful. I was able to claim dietitian sessions on my health fund.

Hi all
With my time in this program coming to an end I would just like to say how great it was for me
Before I started I had had a pretty crap year with losing my father in law and my own father having a stroke I was surviving on junk food and diabetes tablets I had no care for myself
I then saw this program on Facebook and showed my wife. I thought this may work to get me on track to a better life style
I had my first call from Lance and we came up with a meal plan that was easy
When I started my blood sugar levels were high teens 18 plus my weight was 110 kilograms
Now after 6 months my blood sugar is 7.1 and my weight is 97.8kilos
I have had no salt since starting and I think I can count on one hand how many times I’ve had junk food
Lance has been absolutely great with me with what I’ve done and what I can now do on my own it’s just great to get the phone call each week to see how I did and what else I can do to all that read this I hope you all do as well as I have just because this is nearly over it’s not going to stop for me but it’s going to help and keep me going on

The lovely Georgia was my dietician throughout my journey and I couldn't have asked for a better person to interact with.
Her knowledge of all things diet related, her understanding, compassionate way toward me and her beautiful friendly yet professional attitude are second to none.
Without her regular calls and encouragement, I honestly don't think I would have stuck with the program. I knew what I had to do, I just needed to make myself accountable to someone so I would commit 100% until this became my lifestyle. Which I am proud to say it has 🙂
The thing I like most about this is that it's not reliant on shakes, or fads of any kind, it's all just common sense. Which makes it easy to maintain after your program is finished.

Small steps....that was all I needed to do and of course rewire my brain to create new habits. The journey has only just begun as this is a life time journey im feeling alot better on the inside and have lost a few kgs as well

The Miyagi experience was interesting. I was hoping to lose the 10kg I have gained after a brush with breast cancer & a sport injury. Unhappily, I didn’t lose any weight at all. Also, the program confirmed that I am quite diet/nutrition savvy probably after losing around the same weight gain with weight watchers around 15 years ago. My initial blood test confirmed my good nutritional health status with not much to tweak. I thought the weekly call was as helpful and my dietician was helpful & kind. I think I may have done better if the goals we identified were more around weight loss rather than dietary habits. Since completing the program I reflect that I have made a few helpful tweaks around managing my cake/biscuit preference which is helpful and will be a good behaviour change going into my own, unsupported, weight loss plan that I am starting now.

My experience has been great.it is just over halfway. I have learnt so much and most importantly is the support I have received ❤️ Alicia seems to know what I need and love seeing others on Facebook. One thing is you have to be truth to yourself and have fun.
Thanks for the support 🙏 🙌 ❤️

Megan has been great, listening to what I say and has excellent knowledge to make suggestions for me.
Also very supportive and positive.

Everything is Great 😊 I don’t use everything but I enjoy the Good Doctor Ross and the dietitian and the Facebook page

Today was my last call with zeenia my dietitian. I just want to say thank you to her and miyagi for fine tuning my eating habits. It has set me on a journey of healthy eating with occasional treats. It's ok to eat some carbs...it's ok.to have treats but just occasionally. It has been a program of confirming fresh is best. I also started push up challenge last qeek and hope to keep that up even after June. Aim is to stay healthy and happy. I am 64 and kicking it!!

This program worked well for me. As I am a procrastinator the calls from my coach kept me accountable. Luckily I don’t have any major health problems, so focusing on changing habits was my focus. I’m 67 and my mum is a fairly fit 97, so I want to ensure my next 30 or so years are healthy and happy ones. The resources, especially the video on “there are no good or bad foods” example of a pendulum was very powerful for me. That and “Eat the Rainbow” is something that stays with me. So I really appreciate having all the tools available to me while on this journey. Thanks Alysha for your guidance.

My experience was varied. I initially signed up expecting to lose weight quickly. I soon found out that was not the case with more emphasis on correcting some bad habits and improving some not so bad ones. Because my diet was already fairly much like the ideas given with not a lot of “junk” foods it was more a case of tweaking. My weekly consults with Penny were always constructive. After 26 weeks it has become a way of life with my pantry and fridge only containing the foods that enable me to stay within the guidelines. I know that if I stray I don’t need to give myself a hard time.
I also have the mindset that this has been a huge financial investment so it would be wasted if I didn’t commit to the programme. I did feel initially that the costs should have been put forward early in the discussion. The fact that there is no “cooling off” period was difficult. Health Funds do not cover anywhere near the total cost.
I will continue to follow on Facebook & podcasts to make sure I get my value.
I now believe I can do this as I had lost the belief that I would ever lose weight

The sales pitch doesn't allow the program to deliver what is promised. A weight loss program is promised but this is more of a change of mindset and ensuring nutrients are included in your diet program. It was supposed to improve your health but mine actually got worse by following the tips my dietician gave me. Very unhappy. The cost is also exorbitant for a 20 min or less phone call each week.

An amazing program. Thank you
