Ashy Bines Diet Plan Voted Worst in Country by Experts


Recently, Ashy’s “Diet Plan” came under fire from the Dieticians Association of Australia as one of the worst fad diets in the country, and Ashy is confused as to why she was ranked with the Lemon Detox and Skinny Me Tea diets.

Firstly I think they are confused with the difference between ABBBC and my clean eating diet plan,

Secondly its CRAZY how ‘ABBBC’ OR my clean eating diet plan can be compared with a liquid detox that holds next to nutritional value. Let alone any education/support/motivation on how to live a healthy lifestyle that can be maintained, to then compare it with my guidelines that involves REAL food, all food groups we all need, and no restrictions to cut any food groups out has just blown my mind.

Ashy, let me remind you that your Diet Plan is marketed and sold in your Bikini Body Challenge program by your company, Ashy Bines Bikini Body Challenge. There is no confusion, at least not on their part.

Why it was compared to those diets, is because they rated fad diets, which, (surprise surprise) your diet plan falls under that category.



For those who are unsure of what a “fad diet” is, here is the general consensus:

A fad diet is a nutritional regimen, usually extreme in nature, intended to produce results faster than a traditional diet-exercise combination, and often of a dubious nature.

You can see the Dieticians Association of Australia’s definition here.

Although a DAA spokeswoman did have this to say 
(bear in mind, that the DAA are the leading body in dietetics and nutrition professionals in Australia, representing over 50,000 members):

"Dietitians really discourage people from undertaking fad diets, and a fad diet is one that hasn’t been individually tailored to suit people’s needs," 

"The DAA calls on people to seek out individually tailored advice rather than follow fad diets."

"The real positive I see from it is it does focus on whole foods and a move away from processed foods.”

"It is encouraging the majority of the diet promotes vegetables and salad and advises the limitation of saturated fat and sugar.”

"Where it goes too far, is saying you can only have one piece of fruit a day, you shouldn’t eat carbs after morning tea, all of those things are very prescriptive."

"They are not for the general population."

Post Pregnancy Transformation Program by the ABBBC


ABBBC PTY LTD is at it again, this time with a Post Pregnancy Transformation Program, including an insane price of $77 AUD.
This program seems to  include all of the following;
  • Zero support from the ABBBC PTY LTD company (once again). It seems the only support is from other customers.
  • An obvious money making scheme. 
  • It seems not to be created by qualified professionals. The don't list who helped compile the information on any of their websites and pages.
If you are a new mother, or even expecting, I suggest steering clear of anything with near impossible promises and a high price.

For free info on post pregnancy weight loss, follow this link. Their Medical Advisory Board members are listed here, if you wish to research them.

Alternatively, this search through Google includes several websites that give you free information,

or you can speak to your local Doctor, or a qualified Dietitian.











Clean Eating Diet Plan Facebook Page Out of Action

The Ashy Bines Clean Eating Diet Plan page is reportedly missing. This has been the third or fourth time this has happened. This comes after their Ashy Bines Bikini Body Challenge Facebook page was removed some time in the last few weeks.

Facebook also does not allow you to link their Clean Eating Diet Plan Facebook page anywhere as it is considered as “unsafe”.

Will they reveal as to why they have disappeared? Or will they cover it up again like we've seen in the past?

Update: It would seem that their pages are in fact being removed for purchasing Facebook likes



Unprofessional Marketing by ABBBC Brand

Another cheap and unprofessional marketing scheme done by ABBBC PTY LTD has been analyzed today.

Across 10 of their fake Facebook pages, they continuously spam their news feed with the same offers, instead of representing themselves as a company that cares for their customers and clean eating, barely providing free clean eating and exercise tips. (I'd honestly say that last part is non existent, because they only seem to re-blog/post "inspirational quotes" instead of giving their own messages of support.)

Since their “Clean Eating Diet Plan” page has been removed from Facebook due to purchasing illegal Facebook likes from 3rd party websites - which is against Facebook terms, they have spammed all of their Facebook pages with marketing promos.

Notice how 99% of their marketing promos have “CAPS LOCK” in them, which I find quite unprofessional.

They have also created an Instagram account to market their Clean Eating Diet Plan product due to their Facebook page loss.

This is highly unprofessional and does not show “smart marketing” as to what people have been praising towards this fraudulent company.
