Nee some diet help for my girlfriend

**Chitown Raider** · 11-17-2008, 06:55 PM

She is looking to lose around 35-40 lbs. She is doing cardio for about an hour per day, treadmill and eleptical. I told her she can't be skipping meals it is gonna do more damage than good. It seems women have it in their heads if they don't eat there gonna lose all this weight. Anyways, would a high protein low carb diet be best? When she does eat it's good food she eats lots of fruits, yogurt, and turkey. No junk food and everything is low in fat and low in sodium. I told her she also should get a whey isolate that she can mix with some fruit after her cardio. Also, how many small portions a day would be a good?

her body is holding on to the fat.. supplement with fat.. fish oils

no processed grains, and every time she eats, she must consume proteins with the meal..

Women won't stay with a cutting diet the way a guy will..

her body is in starvation mode, thus it will hold everything..

how much fish does she eat??

whenever i hear low fat i know that's the problem, you must consume fat (the correct kinds) in order for the body to release fats..

that's a starting point for ya..
