My 1200 Calorie/Day Eating Regimen - Thoughts?

Please read and let me know your thoughts on my eating program, also if you're motivated to get healthy and in-shape, feel free to add me as a friend! thanks, c

Calories: 1200 or less (but could be 1300)

The program from my trainer is as follows:
- plain oatmeal or cream of wheat for breakfast (can add cinnamon) - this is to avoid sugar cravings in the afternoon
- can have as many meals as you want - green veggies and lean meat ie: chicken, shrimp, trout, salmon, low fat deli slices (but keep processed stuff to a minimum), beef only once a week - salmon and trout are higher in fat, limit to 2-3 times per week, white fish
- no carrots (high sugar content), NO olives, NO avocado (too much fat) -- minimal amounts won't be too bad though
- NO rice, potatoes, beets, lentils, chick peas, hummus, kidney beans, black beans - etc on starchy items
- NO fruit (during weight loss)
- NO pork
- YES to cucumbers, onions, lettuce, parsley, tomatoes, peppers, zucchinni, cabbage, radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, green beans, etc...
- low cal dressing ie: balsamic vinaigrette (but check calories, 5 or less is best), light italian, sweet onion if at subway
- another GREAT source of protein - ALLMAX, ISOFLEX protein powder - 1-1.5 scoops (vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, chocolate mint chip - 110-165calories) -- 1-3 shakes per day if you're weight lifting
ALLOWED: mustard, hot sauce, horseradisch, honey mustard, light ketchup

-- also helpful: half a cup of water with 2-3 kelp drops as soon as you get up before consuming any food
-- lemon in water

Drink at least 2-3 litres of water a day - sometimes I drink 6 -- lack of water will prevent weight loss even if you're eating properly

'Dessert': G2 Gatorade - not more than 1 a day

I lost 15lbs in my first month with about 5-6 binge/cheat days -- I don't recommend bingeing - the way to solve that is to allow yourself to eat ANYTHING, as long as you are present and breathing - so for the last few weeks, I've taken bites of 'illegal' items without ruining my progress or going on a bingeing party

Thanks for Reading!!

It sounds really healthy and no deprivation. Good luck!

Sounds like deprivation to *me*. I would be freakin miserable on that.

If she's trying to tell herself that this isn't deprivation, she's definitely lying to herself.

2) Make yourself miserable. We all know exercise only counts if you are suffering and hating life, so only do exercises that make you want to dropkick a puppy. Pick the least enjoyable form of exercise you can think of (for me, that would be running on a treadmill like a hamster), and then force yourself to do it for hours. Every day. Combine this with some sort of diet where you starve yourself, so that you have no energy and hate life. Even better, combine this with a SUPER unhealthy diet (telling yourself, “I earned this!”) and then wonder why you’re not losing weight.

3) Blindly follow conventional wisdom. Don’t eat fat. Avoid foods with cholesterol. Eat as many heart healthy whole grains as possible, all day long. Ignore advice to consume all natural foods from “fad” diets like the Paleo Diet. Buy “healthy” microwaveable dinners that taste like feet – those are the best.

Artificial sweeteners (gatorade G2) and protein powder are acceptable in such restriction but whole grains and beans loaded with natural fiber and protein sources and good fats like avocado and olives are out?

This sounds like a hot mess.
