I am a certified personal trainer and I would not be comfortable giving someone a diet plan. I might give someone generic advice like "start counting calories ", but no more than that. That is the job of a dietician or at the very least, a nutritionist.

I was listening to a Lyle McDonald podcast interview and he touched upon something that was relevant to what the OP wrote. People are always trying to find one magic ingredient that they can cut out and it will solve all of their health and weight problems. It might be gluten, dairy, apartame, carbs entirely, fat or…
