weight loss plateau, hammering through

[mockery]

this is about my gf, shes lost 80lbs, looks amazing and into the final 30lbs to her target. in the past 6 weeks her weight doesnt really move, for a month i had her on a clean low calorie diet but her weight went up, so my assumption was she wasnt eating enough.

she is carb cycling and fasting for 16/8 now like me and her scale weigh ins are like mine, one day she loses 3 lbs, the next she gains 3.6
the new diet we will see what happens in 2 weeks and then re asses

we had her thyroid checked

shes not on the pill

she does fasted cardio and regular cardio 5 x a week

resistance training 3 x a week.

shes on the Canadian diet pills herbal magic, as its what helped her drop the first 80lbs.

she works her ass off, eats hella clean and shes getting her panties in a knot now cause there is no movement , she wold be happy with 2 oz a week but no matter what she by the end of teh week is back to the same weight of 165lbs.

seeking advice, knowledge and opinions before i get her on clen.

thanks

I understand her desire to get off the plateau...I dislike them too

Perhaps she needs to look at other alternatives to switch things up. SALUTE to 80 pounds...gosh that is alot of weight. And also very responsible of you to look for other options on her behalf. It is very sweet that u are assisting her, but also prefered if she is able to express her concerns directly. Do you think she will be willing to get an account and post stats in the appropriate forum so that members can help her with diet and exercise?

her diet and exercise is dialed in 100%

the only thing im unsure of is her love for teh stair master im not sure how great it is as Ive never used it or studied it either. nah she wont sign up, not her thing. ive got her down 80lbs, but im confused why her weight wont drop. even with fasting. ive lost6% body fat in 13 days. i went from a gut to abs in those 13 days and she wont talk to me now lol. kinda cute.

only thing i havent done is have her on a high fats diet and lower carbs to 20% for micros.

3 meals a day

5'6 165lbs 27%body fat

BMR 1650

her calories have just changed a week ago. ** This being said, her previous diet she was on for 6 weeks wasnt working at all, then i had her get off that diet and eat a pretty low calorie meal plan that was clean and better then what she was on before. I know this is teh start of a new plan, and it can take time.

she is on a 16 hour daily fast with a 8 hour feed window

and she is carb cycling: low low low refeed mod mod mod
