OMG PT has given me this diet

50

Hmmmm.
I'm put off anyone who talks about "clean". And what exactly does that mean?
I'm LOL that processed long life Weetabix is the choice for "clean and fresh".
I don't think there's an issue with the amount of food - seems plenty.
My issue would be that that your PT seems to have given you a plan without taking the time to walk through it with you, explain it, and answer your questions.
You need to quiz them about it!
Good luck with the weight loss though

Where's the veg?

Quite!

I'm distrustful of plans with supplements and you have two there.

A proper diet plan should provide enough Vitamin C (spinach is good) and avoid the things (like salt) that cause water retention.

Veg?

tell me about this dandelion root??

I think 'dinner' forgot the vegetables, e.g. greens like kale, spinach, cabbage

Dandelion root?

Code for blowjob, perchance?

Why would you take dietary advice from someone who has no qualifications?

it looks like an odd combination to me.
are you suppose to have the weetabix dry?
5 small meals (the wording lunch dinner supper is a bit odd but I take it one is a night time snack)
the "dinner" options are rather dry, nothing with your chunk of meat?
85 gms is about 3 ounces the recommended serving size so your meat portions are double.
very high protein...body building/weight lifting competition??
lots going through my mind, long term healthy isn't one.

Dandelion root is just a supplement that is a diuretic. Anyone else grow up with the tale that picking dandelions makes you wet the bed?!

Water loss, not fat loss. Short term - better to do it via a proper diet. If OP has a medical reason for water retention she should see her GP, not self prescribe diuretics. Long term - you shouldn't use them.

Looks like your PT has printed some quack nonsense from the internet, sorry!

As I said above, they should have explained it all to you. If they've left you needing to ask on MN, they obviously haven't.

yuk

You will lose weight because that must only be about 1000 calories there but where is the veg.
Looks very low in calcium too which is going to leave you at risk of osteoporosis.
Also that’s not a maintainable meal plan for the long term.
Looks faddy.

Thats a diet a body builder would use in the last 6-12 weeks before doing a competition.

Its awful. Loads of my friends compete and that type of diet really impacts their moods and emotional stability.

Competition season is a pita.

What bruce said, it’s a cutting diet for pre comp

Never trust someone who's trying to get you to eat dandelion root twice a day.

4L of water and dandelion root? You will never be off the toilet surely?!

So he's given the same crappy plan to 4 people? Do all 4 have water retention issues?
He's a PT not a dietician.
I would never follow a plan with no vegetables and relyInt on supplements.

If carbs are your downfall, check out the low carb threads

Josh..i sympathise.. I eat around 900 calories a day and run 10k x4 a week and that maintains me at a size 12. Am 5ft4 and weigh 11st 4lbs

Eat more than that and I put on weight.
I got blasted on a diet thread earlier this week for suggesting that if you want to lose weight you need to eat a lot less than you think and we often massively underestimate portion size and calories.

Hence why so many people say 'I don't understand why I don't lose weight'

I think your diet plan from pt is OK if you can eat veg with it.

I never eat breakfast because I am just not hungry in the morning.
Lunch is usually a salad with lean protein
Dinner is then something pretty normal like spaghetti bol or roast or risotto or whatever I am cooking for family but I eat small portions.
I rarely eat fruit.
Never snack except in summer when gorge on tomatos from garden

I like wine...

Once a week or so have pizza /curry takeaway.. Love it, enjoy it but again I just eat enough to feel very slightly full.

I feel strong, lean and healthy.

If I want to lose weight I drop the wine and eat plain veg and plain protein only at dinner.
You could try that?

That’s really unhealthy ^^

Um are you even actually overweight ?

I’m the same height as you and I look great at ten stone ...

Maybe that’s your natural weight and the exercise will just firm you up lovely. Why don’t you just aim for healthy, fit and strong?

Well we are clearly not alone.. I do wonder why people are so scathing of lowish calories diets.
I fact 25yrs ago the recommendations for colorie intake was lower and weight watchers diets were developed around 1000 calories being what you could eat to lose weight. Now we are told women should eat around 2000 calories and so many people, believe 1500 calories is a weight reducing diet... When it's not.
Plus the massive under estimating of calories.. In previous thread a dieter was saying her breakfast was under 250 calories, I reckoned it was double that.
You have been very honest about your life and what is realistic for you.. Just think the whole pt diet sounds a bit faddy
