    BTW, your dietary restrictions (not eating certain foods because you think it's healthier) don't have a thing to do
    with losing weight. That's all CICO. You might be eating less because you're stuck with the same foods & are bored.
    That's real. That's why buffets cause people to overeat. We like variety.
    And "clean" is a meaningless term w/r/t food, unless it refers to washing produce.
    Eating fewer processed foods and more whole foods is healthier in several ways, and will give you more volume
    for the same calories.
    Thank you, that's what I really meant by eating clean; no processed foods, no refined sugars, etc. I swear all I ever eat is oatmeal, eggs, salads, protein. I'm not bored with my food but yes sometimes I think I'm eating too little bit working out so much. :-(

    You don't need such drastic measures to lose weight. There's no such thing as 'clean' eating. Eating too little, restricting food groups and spending your time at the gym is not sustainable.

    Please fire your trainer (unless you're some actress or something who needs to get fit for a role and doesn't mind gaining weight back after) and find a SUSTAINABLE weight loss plan.

    Eating a reasonable amount of good food and working out regularly is not drastic.

    Keep up the good work...your trainer needs to chill.

    Thank you so much! Haha I wish I was an actress getting ready for a role. This one is just a "need to get fit to get ready for the rest of my life" kind of thing. :-)

    If you are using a scale to weigh your food and entering foods into the diary, you do not need to follow those kind of food rules. What really counts is how many caloires you have eaten at the end of the day -- whether they come from ham, steak, hot dogs, rice, corn, cookies, . . .
    Also, instead of salads, start experimenting with new ways to cook veggies. Trying roasting or grilled for example.

    So, you've lost over 30lbs in 6 weeks and your trainer isn't pleased with THIS week results?! I wouldn't be pleased with the trainer.
    +1 to fire the trainer!

    The only legit gripe from a trainer is if your check doesn't clear.
