[QUOTE="'Chelle, post: 236759, member: 1161"] Being a lifelong overweight person now diagnosis'd type 2 diabetic, I've read up on a lot of diets, nutrition, been on lots of diets, now belong to T.O.P.S, been to seminars given by nutritionists etc. etc. etc. So this is just from a layperson who's not a nutritionist, BUT I've never heard of any HEALTHY diet that recommends less than 1200 calories, and most recommend 1500 calories, and that's if you want to LOSE weight. The average not overweight woman, with mild-medium exercise habits, should eat in the 1800-2000 range. If she's exercising at a gym frequently she could be eating more. At 115 pounds and you mentioned pint-sized, that is a perfectly normal weight for a small woman. She'd have to be under 5' tall for that to even BEGIN to be slightly overweight. Over 5'4" or so she's starting to be underweight. Those power bars/drinks etc., I believe from what I've read in husband's bodybuilding books/mags, are meant to be in addition to proper diet to help grow muscles etc. They're not meant to be a main component of your diet. Just my opinion, but I think you're right. That trainer is an idiot. Don't know what you can do to convince her, probably not much as you said. Maybe give her books on proper nutrition? She may pick it up and read it and figure it out for herself. [/QUOTE]
