    I'm eating over 1500 calories a day , full of veg, protein and fruit as I said earlier. I never said I'm on a low calorie/unhealthy diet.

    Again, generalities versus details. You said you were worried that one day would ruin your detox ... then you rephrased it ... and you still won't provide details about what certifications your "very qualified personnel trainer" or what the details are of this "jumpstart" "detox" "diet" (all words you've used to describe whatever it is you're doing).

    To answer your original question, no, you did not sabotage your diet plan.

    This is generic: if you don't have any positive criticism please keep your comments to yourself

    Meaning, only comment if one is in agreement with you? Wouldn't you rather know truth than just get an "atta girl, keep it up!" ???

    The best way to handle changes in your eating habits is to move past a hiccup and not stress over it too much. That's where the negative cycle can come into play. Follow your healthy eating plan going forward and view your chocolate time as a treat. You should do just fine. It took more than 1 day to gain any weight, so 1 day won't ruin the whole thing. Good luck!

    It is common to associate detox to a soup or juice diet which isn't the case here. It is just a 2 weeks plan to get my body full of the right nutrition sit needs to have great workouts without harming muscles and keeping me fit to workout more.
    He uses the word detox because I don't have any pasta or bread or meat apart from fish (3 times a day) for these 2 weeks (I have carbs in porridge, broccoli and so on)

    His use of the word is incorrect..hence all of the warnings that he may not be the best person to consult in regards to nutrition.

    To detox is to remove toxic substances..what toxic substances are you removing??

    So... he is misusing a word which, when used, constitutes advice that you disagree with, and thus is NOT giving the advice you disagree with. And because he's not giving bad advice, she should fire him?

    WTF?

    Ha! Hilarious!
    I currently have weights 12.5-15 kgs and he is going to help me push myself more.

    Unfortunately, I'm the kind of person that as soon as I have a cheat meal I give up. But I'm learning slowly

    And this, right here, is WHY people discourage the detox mentality and the quick weight loss jump start, booster stupidity. Eat at a deficit. Get enough protein.

    Wow, I had this app for 2 years and I only recently started using the committee for support.
    But it seems like a lot of people are very negative and a bit aggressive too.

    Because I, personally, would not want to take nutrition advice from someone who thinks I need to detox my body by eating certain (non-toxic?) foods or jump-start my weight loss. People who do speak that way in regards to nutrition do not know what they are talking about.

    Paying for something your body does on its own..

    Unless you're an alcoholic, you don't need help "detoxing" any of those things.

    See this generation needs to change so some people like OP would know better because it would be common knowledge.

    So you assumed he was qualified?

    :(

    I feel sad when I see things like this. People wanting so earnestly to do right, and then being taken by a charlatan. Who at best is trying to be helpful, at worst is trying to line their pockets further with an easy mark.
