Ok. If that’s really what she’s been eating, and he is really the one repsonsible for it, I question (and criticize) the idea of that diet. It is wrong for any sentient being to put any non-obese, Homo Sapien on that bullshit diet.

Have your fun privately insulting the individual. But when you want to make real progress, talk about what’s wrong with his ideas, not with his person.
Privately wonder what the fuck is wrong with this and that guy - but publicly, if you want to credibly question an idea, criticize the idea and not the person.[/quote]
So basically she pays a guy a ridiculous amount to design her a diet that is basically starvation. I eat that shit in one meal. Not kidding.
Now Lindsay looks like shit. I bet she thinks she looks better than she ever has. Damn Hollywood. How did Hollywood ever think that skinny was attractive? Why not curvy and toned with a little muscle mass at least.
As for him, maybe he’s a tri-athlete, so being 250 pounds and benching a car isn’t his thing. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t know how to get somebody else to that point. I don’t agree with what Lindsay Lohan has done to herslef, and I do think she was much more attractive when she had some curves, but his job was to get her to where she wanted to be, and he did it.
And, from the looks of that diet, he didn’t do too bad. I know it’s not what we “T-men” would eat, but it’s a hell of a lot better than some other shit I hear Hollywood does in order to look like that.(I say this while recognizing there is a good chance drug abuse helps her look the way she does)
If it makes you feel better to bash this guy, go ahead, he won’t read it anyway. But if you really think this guy is doing an injustice to his clients, take a step back and think where they would be without him. I think he’s doing alright.

Well, I suppose it’s all a matter of degrees. Maybe there are people that would be worse off and less healthy without him. But a good trainer should be looking out for his clients’ health and well-being, not simply giving them the body they want however misguided their goal may be. That is not a healthy diet for a human being to be on, and assuming her new appearance was attractive (which I strongly disagree with), Lindsay should not look like that if that’s how she must eat to do so.
I think he’s a fucking idiot and I’m leaning that way with you as well. I can’t believe you would try to justify what he did. That diet is fucked, and I can’t imagine what her training regime looks like. It probably looks like “Walk 20 steps and pass out from malnourishment”.
If his job is to get money from his clients and then fuck up their health, then he has succeeded.
His webpage sucks, yes it is flowery but hey it is a sales job and to his target audience he’s probably pitched it correctly. Can’t fault him there.
They guy if his claims at sporting prowess are true, is also a fairly experienced high level athlete. He also has, what is to many, an aspirational physique (not to me, but to many).
Consider this also, he is not approached by a beautiful, curvacious woman interested in maintaining her gorgeous figure, but by a studio exec with a hell bent, money no object, get this girl to this sort of look asap attitude.
He accepts the job and gets it done. Morally reprehensible yes, but it doesn’t mean the guy isn’t good at what he does.
Thats one scenario, maybe unlikely but consider the other, beautiful famous woman approaches him to maintain shape, lose a few pounds maybe. He then starves her and turns her into what she is now (something she doesn’t want) and no-one stops him? she doesnt say a thing? hey i can see my spine through my stomach?
Which is the more likely? Hell could even be a combination of both.
As a ‘personal trainer’ his concern should be for his client’s health and he really seems to have failed (lets not get into definitions of health, that’s a pretty expansive subject)and Lindsay’s look now is godawful and potentially dangerous but how and why she got that way is,just conjecture.
Funny thing is, commercial gyms are full of these clowns. I’ve been a member at this one gym for 6 years, during that time only 1 trainer has been there the whole time. I have since became friends with him and I can usually tell just by looking on how the trainers carry themselves, train their clients, and treat other gym goers if they can make it, within the few couple times I notice them. Its amazing how about 95% of these people can come off as “I know everything” and “My shit don’t stink”. Then they wonder, why can’t I get any business?
Sorry. The guy just sucks. There are good celebrity trainers out there. Gunnar Peterson is one. He’s worked with Brooke Burke, Angelina Jolie, and plenty of other gorgeous Hollywood women who don’t look like walking skeletons. They’ve managed to do damn well despite being ‘fat’.
Yeah, but there are people in this business with exactly that attitude who make plenty of money.

Hey I want all the people out there that had something to say about Lindsays trainer to know that the information that was provided to you in the magazine was misinterpreted and is not what lindsay eats daily. The questions that were asked of him concerned her eating habits during a heavy workload day. Anyone and everyone knows that people who work sixteen or eighteen hour days barely eat twice so the meals shown were things Lindsay MAY eat when carrying a hectic schedule. The press loves to blame the trainer. By the way the trainer only started training Lindsay about six weeks ago so don’t always go by what is read without confronting the guy himself. Think twice before you blame and if you are going to attack the guy call him yourself and get the right information. Have a nice night!

For one meal, that diet looks pretty good.
2/3 eggwhites and veggies and one banana, 3 slices of turkey, chicken or ham with lettuce and tomato, 2 hard boiled whites OR one apple, Salmon Fillet cooked with one tsp olive oil and one cup of vegetables, One frozen fruit bar.[/quote]
I completely agree. Pretty much looks like my breakfast.

Good post. Everything I said was assuming that was the diet he put her on. You may be right. Regardless, he’s obviously not solely to blame. Lindsay and the Hollywood culture are to blame also. But he still is not a good trainer. Short of an eating disorder, a good trainer would be able to sit her down and get her on the right track, eating properly, and at a healthy (sexy) bodyweight.

The anorexic ideal of American womanhood has been around a long time. “You can never be too rich or too thin” - the Duchess of Windsor, formerly Mrs Wallis Simpson. Or, for a couple of more recent examples, Lady Bird Johnson or Jackie Onassis. Fortunately not all women are suckers for this line.

yeah? well whether or not the diet is exactly right, anyone who looks like lindsay lohan does is anything but healthy. and if it is her trainer’s job to keep her healthy, he is doing one shitty job.
