Thanks for the info......Ive been referred to different nutritionists though gyms. This is usually a paid one hour consultation to formulate a diet. The problem is that all of these nutritionists have been more concerned with overall health than with weight loss. For example, all 3 people that I met with have told me that atleast 3 servings of fruit per day is important because your body needs the vitamins. On bodybuilding websites, Ive come to realize that anyone serious about weight loss eliminates almost ALL the sugar from their diet. So, what I'm looking for is a happy medium between the two. I'm not competing so I want a more permanent diet. But I know that my body needs a more severe diet to really lose the weight. So if anyone can compare diets and let me know what works for them?
