    Not the world's greatest trainer. But I'd have a Dialogue with him and suggest that there is much Uncertainty in what might be restricted or allowed in his list. After all you do not live in a Cave of Metaphors.

    It should not be this painful. And if it is, your Trainer should have some feedback for you besides, "stick with it." I think you are wise not to stick with him any longer. Get a new trainer. Get someone who is going to be supportive and work with you on what works for you. Good luck.

    Is Plateo where you only eat what Plato would eat? Wonder what benefits it has over Paleo.

    edit: Looks like EvgeniZyntx beat me to it!

    MsKittenHeels:

    If you don't mind me asking: What are your personal trainers credentials? A lot of trainers these days do not have the necessary foundation in nutrition to be giving dietary restrictions like this. Does he have any degrees in health, nutrition, or exercise? Or did he get his certification online after his prior job of bagging groceries?? Most well educated trainers who know what they're doing would never put their client on a diet like this.

    He's put you on a fad detox diet that does nothing to detox you (there's no scientific evidence to support any type of 'detox' diet), and potentially putting you at risk not to mention quite a bit of discomfort. If I were you (not to mention robbing your purse), I would seriously consider finding someone better fit to help you, or at the least you should keep in mind to take his recommendations cautiously.

    Wowzers, sounds like somebody thinks he is a MD, I've had to do a similar thing, but that was only after tons of blood work, and months and months of appointments to figure out why I couldn't eat food without being sick. But doesn't sound like you have that problem.

    Have a calorie deficit, if you don't start loosing within a month or so, than go to an ACTUAL dr to discuss.

    He's an idiot. Dump him. Use the macros on MFP to set yourself up for a reasonable calorie deficit, eat CARBS and keep lifting. You will do great!

    hi Kyli

    he said he has qualifications in a range of things, from nutition and fitness right through to holistics, but you are right something is very wrong. I just stuck with it as i thought he knew best but when i was feeling breathless and faint walking up the stairs this morning i knew something was seriously wrong.

    I am coming off it today as i really need a cup of tea and something warm to eat, i am seeing him in the morning and if he doesnt like it or cant offer me an alternative to this then i will go with another trainer.

    and thanks i appreciate the response.

    Did you ask to see proof of these qualifications??

    Because I can say I'm qualified to do something - doesn't mean I actually am.

    You should go to another trainer regardless if he agrees with you coming off of his diet or not.
    You're paying him to provide you a service and you've already stated that you are not ok with it but he's telling you to do it anyway.
    You're miserable and it's not from him working you out to get sore muscles - he gave you crap nutritional advice.

    Seriously, dump him. Any trainer who would speak to me of cleansing would get the boot before the word was even out of his/her mouth.

    We have internal organs to cleanse us so it's completely unnecessary.

    I don't even think you need a trainer for the small amount you wish to lose. You only really need a gym or someplace you can work out. To firm up, lift heavy. You can do a search in the forums for things like Strong Lift 5x5 or New Rules of Lifting for Women.

    You're gorgeous BTW...:)
