you can get pretty much what you need here and via the internet- you don't need a food plan from a trainer.0

Find another trainer, you do not need a food plan to learn how to lift properly.

Check out this post, it covers nearly everything from diet to workouts that you will need to start out: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1080242/a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants/p1
I also wouldn't pay for a trainer every visit. Get a session or two with them. One to go through the movements with you of whichever program you choose and then maybe a follow up session or two in the following weeks for any new questions you may have and to check your form. Other than that, some trainers aren't worth what you pay for them and there are a lot of free resources online.0 -

So dont i need a very limited food plan ?
No i'm asking this because i've found on internet a personal trainer who said that you must track every single little meal...but i think this can become a a sort of mental illness![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")

It can be a bit overwhelming but it is helpful to log everything you eat. That will help you know if you are eating less calories than you are burning to lose fat. But your food plan doesn't need to be very limited. I lose weight while eating foods I enjoy like pizza, ice cream, candy, etc. but I eat them in moderation most of the time and make sure I still meet my calorie goal for the day.

it takes some adjusting- but as long as you remember it is JUST a tool- not an obsession.
Some people find they need to take a week or so off occasionally to reset- but it's manageable.
I would start by just tracking what you eat now- don't make changes- just track what you're eating- figure out how much it is- don't go crazy- just get a base line.

I don't think calorie counting will ever be in the DSM.

I'm going to assume that "alimentation" is supposed to be "nutrition".
You don't need to pay for a food plan from a trainer - especially from a trainer, because at least in the US most aren't trained in nutrition and shouldn't be giving out advice.
You just need to set a reasonable calorie deficit - about 250-500 cals below your maintenance - and appropriate macro levels for you (macros being protein, carbs, and fat - 30% protein, 40% carbs, and 30% fat seems to be a good baseline but you may need to adjust yours one way or the other).
I suggest only cutting out foods you find gross or are allergic too, while eating everything else in moderation.0 -

I once read on MFP you just have to do crossfit, and you get huge.BelieveInSuccessfulLife wrote: »TavistockToad wrote: »Don't worry OP, you won't get 'bulky' or low bodyfat by accident!
So do you mean it takes time ?
and an enormous amount of work.
I've been actively working on getting what is conventionally known as "bulky" for going on 2 years. still not bulky.
<sad face>
It also takes an amount of androgens that is difficult for women to obtain with administration of exogenous male hormones. Most women cannot get bulky even if that is their goal unless they are bulky due to obesity. Building muscle is difficult, even for men.
Well, sh&t, that explains why I'm such a beefcake.

Just a thought....
Why not just be the best version of yourself that you can instead of obsessing over a stranger who you know nothing about and who has access to more tools than any of us?
but this is my goal since beyonce is a pear shape (me too) i've taken her as example
if you want i can mesure myself
If your goal is to look like another woman, you will surely fail. Just want your body, but leaner, stronger, and healthier. That's what she's telling you. i want to improve myself and i dont want to be like her
I think everyone is understanding you perfectly. You stated:i'm a pear shape (my origins are morrocan) not fat and not ...i think i'm normal and i REALLY LOVE BEYONCE BODY (it is toned but her curves are soft)
Now i dont want to have the exact body, i only want to know HOW she obtained her body.
Which pretty much says that although you "don't want the exact body" you "want to know how she obtained it" which = you want the same body.
I really dont know how to explain: since i'm a pear shape i want to improve my hips.
I'm trying to do my best to explaib it xD
If you want to be functionally capable throughout life, you want to improve those hips.0 -
Congratulations, this is the dumbest thread I've seen this month. 5 pages in and still no one can figure out what you want. Maybe your New Year's resolution can be to improve your communication abilities? Maybe pay attention in school more instead of trying to decide which celebrity's body you want to have? Maybe?
I've got $5 on there being a bit of translate.google.com being used here.0 -

Everyone who uses this site tracks or has tracked their food. It's only the people that already have mental illnesses that have trouble with obsessing over tracking. If you have a healthy relationship with food, it's just a tool. If it becomes more, take a break from it.0 -

The easiest way is to eat simpler foods. You can build a recipe on here if you really want lasagna though.

It depends on where the lasagne comes from, if it comes from a box use the information on the box. If someone makes it for you or you make it, ask them for the recipe and put it into the recipe area. Then weigh your portion and log that. If you eat it at a restaurant, use their online nutrition or find a generic idea of how many calories are in lasagne and over estimate by quick adding extra calories.0 -

OP doesn't speak English fluently. Also, some people don't really even know where to start when asking questions regarding fitness and nutrition. Not to mention she had to sift through lots of sarcastic replies which she took to heart because of the language barrier and probably spent two pages of posts apologizing for offending people because of misinterpreting what people were saying.

She's young, trying to learn more and English is her second language. At least 4 pages was misunderstandings or trolling. Sometimes it takes a few posts for people to figure out how to ask for what they are trying to ask. I was out of my depth trying to give her advice but no one had said anything helpful to her when I saw the post so I wanted to at least point her in some direction so she didn't get discouraged. Luckily people have shown up and given her better advice now.
