But now that I’m a fully self-actualized adult, with a feminist example to set for my daughter, it’s a more complicated proposition: My hometown of Los Angeles is filled with orthorexics masquerading as things like “wellness influencers,” and I’ve listened to plenty of intriguing podcasts about the concept of “intuitive eating.” My eyes are open to the complexities of the mere pursuit of weight loss — but in reality, I just wasn’t where I wanted to be, and I was ready for the opportunity to reconnect with a stronger, leaner, more disciplined version of myself. It was time to pay the piper.). Bravo’s Style & Living is your window to the fabulous lifestyles of Bravolebrities. But guess what? And I'd been drinking all the wine because... summer?

Bravo's food editor does a deep dive into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills accountability coaching program, All in by Teddi. (Neither are the All In coaches, BTW — the website clearly states that they have no formal certifications or licenses as instructors or nutritionists.)
So what does "accountability coaching" even mean?
Teddi suspected it could have been related to my body detoxing. Yes, honing in on accountability might have been for Teddi a market opportunity with serious legs. (In my own experience with spinning, that part is short lived and passes, giving way to a cultish devotion.). My second day of the program coincided with my twins’ first day of kindergarten — a really big day, both logistically and emotionally, on which I might have otherwise been inclined toward emotional eating, and would have definitely had a convenient excuse not to carve out a full hour for a cardio workout to boot.
Just hungry as hell.

Sweating bullets in Palm Springs' sweltering heat to get in my cardio on the last day of jumpstart.

The programs and the accountability coach all come with a hefty price tag.

My last day felt like the last day of summer camp; it had been a really intense and fulfilling experience, and I could barely imagine not spending every day with these people (virtually). It is a three-part program that boasts an initial jump-start, which is a two-week introduction aimed at resetting to a healthy lifestyle. Studies frequently show that the difference for most people between success and failure when it comes to weight loss is a support team.
(And I have also seen All In run social media promotions offering discounted rates.).
I woke up that day with a headache, which I suspected might have been triggered by the hunger.
That significantly exceeded my expectations, and frankly my highest hopes for the program that I wouldn’t have even dared utter out loud. Teddi Mellencamp is a new addition to the cast of Bravo’s Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.For two seasons we’ve watched Mellencamp (yes, of that Mellencamp family) be the tough girl in the group. In the end, I decided to continue my journey on my own — for now — but I definitely haven’t ruled out coming back into the fold at some point for 30 days or more of continued work with my coaching team. How did All in By Teddi's 15-Day jumpstart work for me? (And I'm using the word diet in its most straightforward dictionary sense of food consumption; Teddi does not believe in trend-based "dieting" as a strategy, but rather in committing to sustainable lifestyle changes.) A diet that prescribes <1000 calories, requires you to send updates after every meal, and encourages only broth soup for dinner everyday is probably the biggest red flag I’ve ever seen.
On three different days of the program, I lost no weight at all.
On the plan, lunch is the largest meal of the day — larger than dinner.

There’s also no formal “intermittent fasting” on the program (Teddi has also said she doesn't mess with fasts herself).
So thrilled in fact, that I very seriously considered continuing into the 30-day program at my own expense.

Texts. I was thrilled with that result. It should be said here that — because I inhabit a woman’s body and I live in America — I have spent a lifetime well acquainted with various diets. She stands up to the Beverly Hills bullies, runs a business, works out, raises her family, and has a marriage to work on. snacks, where just days earlier I really felt like something wasn’t actually a snack unless it was crunchy, salty, and came in a bag.
I’m sure my stomach shrank from its enormous capacity after a summer spent eating all the things — but my cravings reset, too.
And that’s a philosophy that I can get behind because it seems both logical and practical: Of course, I need the fuel to power me through the work day, but I don't need it when I'm sleeping. As BravoTV.com’s food editor, I felt responsibility to do a deep dive in pursuit of the answer to that question.
(Can I blow your mind?
