370 Fat Burning Soup Recipes

New gym instructor's comments actually made me feel less confident in weight loss

Context: I joined this gym in april 2017 and back then I weighed 40 more pounds than I do now. I went to a nutrition appointment (included) and she gave me an eating plan that has made me lost said amount of weight. This plan works for me, it's suitable to my likes and needs and I've been sticking to it ever since.

Since april 2017, there have been about 10 gym instructors. They come and go there, for some reason. Anyway, I was walking fast on the treadmill and this new guy talks to me and tells me we need to talk after my workout. Fine. So I go and speak to him and he basically says this:

"You eat too much carbohydrates (I eat 4 slices of bread per day, as prescribed; two at breakfast and two as an afternoon snack). We need to cut them off completely. Bread sucks, no matter if dark, multi-grain, white... it's terrible. We need to put more protein into your eating habits so that your body will burn all the fat. I suppose you could drop 50 pounds in 6 months, switching eating habits and working out way more. You'll basically feel like throwing up after each workout."

Me: But I lost 40 pounds in this past year.

Him: Yeah... I had this lady who lost 140 pounds just by eating and working out. She lost those in 6 months.

I came back a few days later, he says "don't forget we still need to talk". But... I didn't ask anything of him.

I was way more confortable doing my regular work out, I know I could be doing way more (we all could), but I often go to work afterwards and can't afford having sore muscles and no energy at all. This guy has seriously gotten on my nerves because a) I didn't ask anything at all; b) he comes to talk to me like I'm barely moving or doing anything good.

What do you think?
