    That one appears to have a caramel side. Now, I'm not a chocolate person, but a caramel fountain? STEP ASIDE, MAMA'S GOING IN!

    I did not ask if my 2 week plan was right or not.
    All I wanted to know is if I just ignore the day and continue tomorrow or skip my lunch since I had too much chocolate and continue on my diet.

    I wouldn't skip lunch.

    MrM27, that post is exactly my point.

    You, presented with zero information on the suggested diet - for all you know, the "detox" could have been "sign up with MFP and eat the calories suggested" - say to fire the trainer, which for somebody lost and confused is easily read as "fire your trainer who you are probably paying lots of money for because you hired an idiot, and therefore, you yourself are probably an idiot."

    It's not helpful, in any way.

    You don't even know if the trainer is the one who used the word detox! It's such a hot buzz word in every magazine and TV show that for all we know, the trainer suggested a diet and the OP or someone else labeled it a detox. We know so few facts here (a fault of the OP, to be fair) that the criticism here is unjustified. I think it is fair to critique the lack of information, but not fair to criticism what you GUESS that information to be.

    first, no legit trainer should be recommending a detox of any kind.

    secondly, no legit trainer should say that you need a two week "diet" to get ready for training...

    third, the amount of white knighting in this thread is hilarious...

    Truth hurts too much.

    I currently have weights 12.5-15 kgs and he is going to help me push myself more.

    Unfortunately, I'm the kind of person that as soon as I have a cheat meal I give up. But I'm learning slowly

    And this, right here, is WHY people discourage the detox mentality and the quick weight loss jump start, booster stupidity. Eat at a deficit. Get enough protein.

    Ramen!

    But it seems like a lot of people are very negative and a bit aggressive too.

    This is generic: if you don't have any positive criticism please keep your comments to yourself

    See my profile pic. Unicorns fart rainbows, and I think they smell of cotton candy. :mrgreen:

    And speaking of white knights and unicorns...

    It's not being negative to point out you are being given very poor advice on diet from a person who isn't qualified to give that advice. People are trying to help you.

    Would you take your laptop to a car mechanic for repair?

    I like reading the Community, I've never yet started a question for the reasons you describe. You will get a lot of well-meaning, (I would hope) yet different opinions. Even when making a comment you get someone who disagrees, but that is to be expected. So many experts.

    Am I the only one totally grossed out by food fountains? I'm not a germaphobe, but I can't stop thinking that the fountains are a hotbed of herpes or something.

    The justification for rude, snide comments is disgusting.

    I agree, please stop trying to justify your actions, and just apologize.

    well Define "loads" of chocolate?????? did you dip your face in it? did you put your mouth under a stream of it? to me that's "loads of chocolate"....

    I eat chocolate everyday and have for years...

    As for the rest of your question
    ...and continue on my diet
    you got the answers...no don't continue on that diet or detox or whatever it is....it's a load of crap.

    Eat a reasonable amount of calories and make sure you get enough of all your macros including carbs to aid in your workouts.

    So the fact that he based his opinion on his experience on the forums and turned out to be correct is null. Got it.
