    is this a structured lifting regimen you are following? What constitutes this "very heavy" lifting regimen...

    I'm a trainer I have my own way of structuring it..my workouts are intense, they don't need the tweaking, I just need help with the calorie setting

    eating clean ie or smart simply means avoiding any and all products that are high in fat, sodium or refined sugar. I should have corrected my statement earlier, instead of no salt, no sugar, it should have read low salt, low sugar. my apologies.

    which is totally unnecessary for any weight loss goal. ...

    you've got to be kidding. you want to be healthy don't you?

    yes, and sugar can be a part of an overall healthy diet where one hits calorie targets and meets macros and micros. No need to avoid it or eliminate it.

    Soy sauce is NOTORIOUS for water retention. Cut back on it and see what happens. Also with only less than 10lbs to lose, your goal should be only .25lbs a week or so.

    It wasn't a put down. It does concern me that you're training people without thoroughly knowing some of the fundamentals a trainer should know about human physiology.

    well u shouldn't be personally concerned
