  I spent a ton of money for their VIP elite program and got to my goal weight. The owner said it wasn't good enough. She denied setting the goal weight at the amount she specified in my plan, and refused to let me into the maintenance program because I didn't want to send a picture of myself in underwear or a bikini. Unfortunately, I eventually gained the weight back because she refused to help me with maintenance. I didn't learn what I needed to learn, and I didn't get the support they promised I would get. I also didn't get to take advantage of part of the elite program due to COVID closures (the annual in person event (VIP ticket), and another meet and greet) that were valued at about 1/4 of the cost I paid. I was not offered any type of refund or concession for this. If the owner would like to make good on all of this, I would be open to receiving additional coaching to get to my goal (the original one on the paperwork she sent to me when I purchased the plan) and I would be happy to purchase the maintenance plan if she would let me. I am open to someone from the company to reach out to me to make things right.

  Buyer beware! This whole program is what I'd call a little bit culty! The owner and her sister bash members and staff both behind their backs and to their faces. You'll lose weight based on a starvation calorie level. The calories are so low that most people lose hair and are cold all of the time. The owner says it's better to lose a little hair than to be fat. The owner has threatened former staff with weapons. The whole program is full of abuse tactics. The reviews here are accurate when they say the owner complains about meeting her fans or spending time with paying members. This program is basically very clean keto, low-calorie limits and fasting. I know several who developed eating disorders in the program. The owner and her sister didn't care and wouldn't help. The owner will claim she cries herself to sleep thinking about people who gain weight back or leave her cult. Whatever. All she cares about is making a buck and making more money. She is ugly, manipulative, narcissistic, abusive, controlling, mean-spirited and shaming. She yells at their staff and members. She shames staff and forces them to submit monthly photos in their underwear, but there are different standards for different people. Some staff are allowed to be overweight, while others are told to never dare go over one calorie or one gram of food. If you really want to see the owner get crazy, just say that this program is clean keto and includes fasting - both of which are true facts. She's easily threatened by staff members who are smarter than her or have other ideas. Good people never stick around long. The owner and sister love gossiping about people in coded language on their podcast. The program basics are generally good. It could help a lot of people, but it will never reach its full potential due to the incompetence at the top. ****** ketovore if you want the basics. The owner is right about part of the nutritional side of it, but hey, a broken clock is right twice a day, too.

  THIS PROGRAM IS AN ABSOLUTE SCAM! You get absolutely nothing for your money (I have spent $500). Stay away. Do not buy this product. The only thing I got was bullying on the internet.

  I started my experience with Code Red by reading her book, following her plan, and then joining one of her monthly challenges. I lost quite a bit of weight for myself, and was gung ho about the program. So when I gained some of the weight back it felt worth it to spend, a ********************* on a custom program. I was told to eat 870 cal as a limit, which I did for months. I soon saw that the owner became meaner and meaner as I went on. I was yelled at for asking questions. She actually videotaped herself yelling at me and sent it to me. That was crushing and since then *** heard from people who work more closely with her that she did not follow her own rules of Code Red, which completely makes me lose respect. Stay away from this company. She does not have your best interest at heart.

  The diet itself is simply keto repackaged as ******'s own brainchild. Her personalized plans want you to eat less than **** calories a day. She preys on other's insecurities and this is how she gets away with charging the prices she does. Her "coaches" have zero clue what they're doing, and this includes her mother and sister "the nurse". She uses her forums to fat-shame, belittle, yell at, and shut users down. ****** likes to tell everyone how she is self-made. Self-made using her ex-husband's money. She's toxic and the forums in her app reveal this. Of course, you can't read the forums unless you pay. She took the program off of ******** because so many people were seeing how rude, toxic, and shaming she is. Take your money elsewhere.

  Do not waste your money. Rude, humiliates you, encourages disordered eating behavior. I wish I never gave my money to this bully

  High cost. Quick weight loss by starving but also quick weight gain. She shows before/after pictures on her social media of people that have lost weight that gained it all back - some of them coaches. Where are the people that maintained? There arent any. All her coaches have quit on her. Its a terrible program for long term lifestyle change. And no exercise! Just starve till you lose weight then maybe you can exercise. Does that sound healthy?

  I thought I was in a very supportive environment and trusted everyone within Code Red. I felt like they were family. I was traumatized by ************************* (owner of Code Red) because she came into the ******** Live to wave a handgun because she said she would find anyone trying to take down her company. I was scared and worried about my own safety. I was also so brainwashed that I wanted to please her so much but got publicly shamed on ******** with a video directed towards me. She lacks people skills and tac towards others. People in the community make excuses for her and dont stick up for you by saying you cant handle how direct she is. Honestly she was verbally abusive and would shun others publicly to try to get others to push them away. The group is toxic and scary. Stay away and look else where. I am grateful for the help and support I have gotten in order to overcome the turmoil Code Red caused me.

  The owner of the program has serious control issues, at best. She bullies, belittles, and trash talks anyone that dares ask the wrong question or even slightly challenge her position. I lost a ton of weight, quickly. However, the owner is so money focused and changed the program drastically to reduce coaching hours and accountability, I don't think I would have been successful on the current model. The high staff turnover and low participant involvement speak volumes. The program is in deep trouble, all due to a volatile, manipulative, toxic owner. Steer clear. YOU are worth love and encouragement, not belittling and bullying!
