    Unless your trainer is a Registered Dietician, they should not be making menus for you, and they know that. Anyone who is 'just' a PT knows they are not trained for that and giving specific menus is out of their league.

    I completely agree. A person should be a register dietician or medical doctor who consults with a nutritionist before they give out a meal plan. Cutting out whole natural food groups like fruit is ridiculous. Sugar is not a bad thing as long as you don't over do it. I don't have a problem with a 1,200 calorie a day diet, if you allow more calories for when you are exercising. Otherwise your metabolism is going to drop and then you will start losing muscle mass instead of fat.

    I'd say to jump start a weight loss for someone who doesn't mind being very disciplined short term. I've seen trainers recommend these type "jump starts" before for a 2 week period of time. There's nothing that is going to hurt you although can't imagine doing it for more that two weeks to get motivated. I eat avacado's nuts, beans, fruits, hummus, carrots etc. I stay within 1200 calories and I've lost 23 pounds since June 6. I don't feet deprived or hungry. I eat a ton of salad because I love it. I also use full fat dressing. I hate fat free anything. I also drink a TON of water. Good luck :0)

    I'm not keen on that plan either...what nutritional education does this trainer have?
    I've lost 21 lbs the past 60 some-odd days and I eat every food on the No list you have just about daily, LOL
