And here is a diet that is very similar to what I eat to maintain between 4 and 6 pack abs year 'round: http://www.nerdfitness.com/blog/2010/10 ... aleo-diet/
Train 3-4 times a week too, your trainer is right -stick at it for 3 months and you will see big gains.
Next up is the oils/fats are bad brigade, this is not so. Coconut oil, Flax seed oil, cod liver oil, some Palm oils, egg yolks, organic meat fats, and yes butter are good for you.
Margarine and hydrogenated fats are bad. Sugar is bad. High Fructose Corn Syrup is bad.
In short manufactered foods are bad, natural foods (ie meat/fruit/veges are good).
And to Vlad = coca cola and pizzas are complete and utter shit. Khmer food is way better.
PS Keep away from Soy (also in most manufactered foods), it mimics estrogen and turns you into a chick, or a whining snivelling friend-zoned metrosexual at best.
Feel free to PM me if you want serious advice.

By the way? Do you know if Coconut water is good/bad? I use it when I need to calm my hunger - tastes way better than water. I know coconut milk is a calorie bomb, but coconut water?
