metabolism question

**jhop1** · 04-14-2003, 04:36 PM

My gf has been on a lowfat moderate carb diet for about 3 months now ( 0.30g X bodyweight for fat) ( 1 X bodyweight for carbs) she has just recently started clen /eca cycle but her weight has been stuck at about 120 for about a month even with cardio 4 times a week and regular workouts. she is 5' 7" do you think that she should up her carbs a couple times a week to raise her metabolism back up or what would work for her because she doesnt want this clen/eca stack to be for nothing and neither do I since she is putting hard work in and not seeing results, so far its been 2 weeks on clen. Thanks for the help guys.

She does eat 4-6 meals a day but the total day is 30g of fat or below and she never really gets around to 30g so what do you think she could do? Shes gonna start taking flax seed oil do you think that will help get somethings moving.

Yup, I'd recommend adding the flax seed oil along with maybe some Muscle Milk shakes (which also contain some good fat in them)...that should help boost things up a bit for her.

Agreed, your body will go into a starvation mode if it sees that it is not getting enough fat from your diet. It will be very reluctant to let go of your bodyfat stores as it knows from our caveman days that fat stores are a survival tool. Your body is smart but you can be smarter, up the healthy fats and your body will let go of bodyfat easier.
