Go-to breakfast: Oats topped with almonds and a banana.
Quick answers
Nope. Not on a regular basis.
Traditional keto diets are out of bounds for Trainers. A plant based ketogenic diet high in monounsaturated fats is a possibility.
Nope.
In moderation.
As a general rule, refined grain products, especially those that have added sugar and oils, are not good for any diet type. Having said that, Trainers have strong carbohydrate clearance and can burn through whole grains as fuel, so an occasional pancake won’t throw them off the way it would a lower carb clearance type.
Biggest challenge
Trainers can evaluate protein based on its omega-3 count. The more omega-3 in a protein source, the more likely it suits them. However, the big challenge is keeping saturated fat intake at a level where it doesn’t blow out their heart health numbers like LDL-P. The key challenge for Trainers is to limit saturated fat while realizing that they are able to handle it in small doses just fine.
Closest relative
Not quite you? The nearest type is Lean Machine. Histamine. Lean Machine dieters won’t have the same predisposition to histamine overload as do Trainers, however, Trainers are more likely to be able to handle some dairy, so it’s a trade off.
