Sadly my experience with Empower was terrible. After being in a calories deficit for almost 6 months I barely lost any weight and I was feeling constantly very tired and hungry. My mood was low. I was sleeping poorly. Since I was barely loosing weight, feeling bloated and constipated, Emma kept lowering my kcal intake. And I followed her recommendations. I was committed and I thought I could do it. Until I couldn’t and I broke and I felt into, the worst I’ve experienced so far, binging cycle. Emma has no professional training in treating binging disorder and the more she interacted with me the more anxious I felt. It’s over a month like we finished working together and I’m still recovering after toxic relationship I had with her. Recently I reached out to certified psycho dietitian that specializes in binging disorder and according to her calculations, calories intake that was recommended to me by Empower was lower than my Basal Metabolic Rate ( I was at ~1700 and my BMR is 1800). I cycle to work and hit the gym 5 times a week.I was always a very active person and with Empower I started to hate gym and lifting weights and I would experience weekends where I couldn’t leave my bed as I was so tired. Now I’m slowly recovering but the damage that was done… it’s extremely difficult for me to understand why someone would hurt anyone so much. It’s not even about the money. For many years I’ve been struggling with my relationship with food but what happened with Empower… I never thought it can be that bad. If you are struggling with eating disorder I honestly do not recommend you starting this program.
