My Trainer Approved Meal Plan (and modifications for 21DSD)

The first thing I did notice was the lack of carbs, then saw your comment at the bottom. I would DIE without carbs. But, I guess do what works for you. Might be hard to maintain in the long run.

There is no way I could stick with that. I don't think I'd even make it through the first day. Seems unnecessarily restrictive to me.

Looks very healthy but I don't know how long I could follow it. I love variety with my food. How long ar you supposed to follow this?

Good luck! I think that everyone has to figure out for themselves how to live in the real world, eat properly and get in our workouts. And let's just call it as it is...no matter what we all say you are still going to try this and you probably will get results. However, what happens when you get off this eating plan and start adding in things that you had restricted? I tried something similar to this eating plan mid last year and I had several problems with it; 1) I was bored before day one was over 2) I freaked out when I had plans to go out to dinner...what could I eat? 3) it didn't last long b/c it isn't sustainable.
I moved away from this type of eating b/c I wanted to get myself on a good path that was sustainable. My way might have slower results.....but I found I liked it better. I don't want to feel like I am torturing myself but that I am enjoying the journey. As I mentioned above, we all have to figure things out for ourselves so I wish you luck Do keep us posted.

Six meals works for me. I don't get as hungry as when I eat three larger meals.

I'm "detoxing" because I want to see how my body responds to less sugar. Trial and error.

My trainer approved meal plan is about 1700 calories. More than he likes to give women at my level but 1700 is where I don't get hangry [angry+hungry].

This isn't a forever meal plan - just until we get my body fat down. My trainer is all about clean eating so eventually when I get to maintenance - I'll just eat clean (when and what I want) within a reasonable amount of calories.

Eating whatever I want doesn't work for me... being told what, when, and how much does. We're all different and mentally I can't just stop at one piece of chocolate so its best I don't have any.

This doesn't make any sense. What toxins do you have that you are trying to eliminate?

When you go back yo normal eating, what makes you think you won't gain the weight back?

Eat 150 meals a day, it doesn't matter. I know it's mental for some people.

Just because your trainer approved doesn't mean it's right.

This isn't really healthy because it's not normal and it's not helping you learn and establish eating in the real world.

It appears that you are going for a weight loss bang. You want to lose, then later you'll figure it out. Later is now. Figure it out now. Eat at a deficit. Stop blaming sugar or carbs or toxins that don't exist. Just eat food at a calorie deficit and you will lose weight, and not temporarily, but for the rest of your life.

Your an *kitten*. Just so you know. There are more right ways then just yours!

This poster actually gave you so pretty solid reality checks. Being blunt doesn't make someone an ***, it just makes them an honest person.

He was not being an *kitten*. He was giving you constructive advice.

Rather you than me, but to each their own.

This. Constructive, if a little blunt at most. Blunt does not = needing name calling.

Just reinforces my opinion of the the majority of 'Trainers'
