Thanks guys for the info . I have always eaten really healthy and been the same weight since I was 16... I need to mix things up and have some one work out exactly how much of each carbs / protein / fats I should be eating to help me loose weight as cutting out alcohol and treats hasn't made a difference ! I am trying to…

I explained I feel tired and about not eating enough he said 1000 cal is fine and I need to up my cardio vascular excercise and if I feel tired have a coffee ?!! I asked if this is his plan for…

I'm going to see what he says after I ask him about what I have learnt from this post and if I get the same answer I will be Looking for someone online to help me with nutrition and carry on training at the gym I'm at. Thanks guys

Thank you . My PT is very popular at the gym so I would need to be careful doing that. There is another branch of the gym I am at not to far away so I might ask there.

Thank you . But for the sake of a wedding I don't plan on stressing myself out over my weight I feel comfortable in my dress already I'm just not were I want to be ... but I won't be fainting on the day! It seemed a lot to be especially as it's joint PT with my friend and she is paying the same . There is no one else at…

Pretty glad he told me to get this app ?! Glad I asked the question now or the next 3 months could have been interesting ?! I tired , skint , bald bride :-)

Chicken salads I eat religiously ... he told me to avoid dairy and gluten ... so currently on green smoothies or eggs with green veg..

Thank you for your replies . What do you mean by eating at maintenance 1 week before the wedding ? I have no problems weighing / logging food etc. I am dedicated to get results. I have logged my diary and contacted him and asked him to review everything at the weekend and to work out my macros correctly and that I am…

Thanks for the advice . I'm also very glad there is an answer as to why I'm being tired and burnt out quite a lot . I will speak to the PT ask a few questions and see what his response is.
-
Wow that's quite a jump from the 1000 recommended. (Might explain why I'm lacking a lot of energy at the moment ) Breaking this down into grams of protein , carbs and fat what would your advise be ?
-
Not at all , I'm 11st 12 (been this weight for last 11 years give or take a few pound ) Before January I went on big dog walks and that's it. I have an office job 4 days a week and one my feet one of those days as a dental nurse . Since January I do 2 boot camps a week 45 mins long HIT and see my PT on a wed evening as…

After seeing all of the comments above I am not stupid enough to carry on taking his advice. I want results but also want to stay healthy , not starve my body and loose my hair ! If I don't get the answers I want next week or more in depth advice on nutrition I will look at using a new different PT and see if he will still…
-
Sidesteel .. Thankyou . He isn't pushy with supplements but does strongly reccomend the omega 3 he also sells it cheaper to me than I can get online . He didn't say anything about make up some one asked if I ate when drunk Jokingly I said I never eat but I religiously take my make up off and brush my teeth twice (must be a…
-
I want to hear what he has to say first. Can anyone reccomend were I can get some proper advice online ? Some sort of plan to follow ?
-
I bald and skint bride :-) thank you for the well wishes I will carry on eating healthily and with bootcamp until I see him at the weekend and ask him.

Pretty glad I posted this now ... instead of £400+ down and feeling crap in my wedding dress ! Conversation next week may be interesting x
-
Sezxystef ... yes please ... I don't know how to send a note on here ... sorry pretty new !
-
Thanks guys ... lacking in energy to get my self to the gym and train . I will ask him next week see what he says . If it's the same advice I will go elsewhere. Thanks for advice !!
-
He won't train me without nutrition as well as this is the way he works . Currently doing joint PT with a friend we pay £100 each per month for 4 sessions and nutrition advice . (Includes bootcamp twice per week)
-
Hmmm ... glad I asked ... the PT is super lovely , explains things very well excercise wise just not so in depth with nutrition and has so far taught me a lot during the PT classes . He dosent appear to make much of the omegas and dosent push them on me at all . Just reccomends I take them daily . He's not the best with…
-
This app told me to eat 1200 calls per day I told the PT this and he said no 1000 calls don't listen to app. Omega3 for the heart also helps with weight loss . (He sells the stuff ) don't snack at all when I drink ... wierdly brush my teeth twice and make sure make up is off but I don't like eating when I have had a drink…
-
No , he said follow his advice and use this app to make sure I do. He didn't say anything about upping anything on training days. I am new to this all and with the wedding being 4 months away final dressing fitting in 3 I want to make sure I am getting the best advice . PT seems good and is a nutritionist as well . Thanks…
