Trying to help a female friend burn fat . . .

[richtries]

As far as I am aware she has been eating healthy and excercising regularly the past year, but she is really struggling with some stubborn fat around her back and arms, she is desperate to get back to her youthful physique.

I have been researching various cutting diets and training regimes of which I will advise her, and have also been recommended grenades as a supplement.

Was just wondering in case this fails . . . what would be the next option? Clen or T3? I know there is no substitute for loads of cardio and sheer determination but I do think that some people haven't got the metabolism is takes? Does anyone feel the same?

I mean there is this guy at my work . . . he arrives early around 7:30am with no breakfast and I don't see him eat a single crumb all day up until 5pm . . . and he is the size of a house!? Me and my colleagues have joked whether or not he hooks himself up to a lard drip at home . . . bit harsh I know.

Done some reading up on clen . . . mixed reports, seems to be quite dependant upon the individual. Am aware it is not actually a steroid just shares anti-catabolic properties like those of winny, is it safe used properly like AS's? Read different techniques on how to take; 2 weeks on 2 weeks off/ED or EOD, but how long do people cycle on it for? Till you've reached your goals or? Also, I know you taper up/down, but would you do this every 2 weeks on or only when you first start and at the very end?

Think T3 would probably be overkill?

Any views/comments appreciated.

Ok, I went to see her last night to get some more info on her diet/training . . .

On a typical day she would eat the following:

breakfast; bowl of cereal (cheerios).
lunch; two slices of wholemeal bread with humous, chicken and salad.
dinner; meat and veg.

On a good week she would go to the gym every lunch time before she ate and attend body pump, tone and circuit classes, plus she walks for 40 mins home-station-work every day.

Problem areas seem to be at the weekend when she goes out drinking (vodka/beer) she'll have a takeaway. I'm sure booze affects woman worse than men in this department, when I was travelling woman seem to put on weight whilst men lost weight through drinking. Also, she occasionally eats chocoloate which she craves on her period.

Even with the drinking/takeaway I still feel she should be slimmer considering her diet/training in the week, what are your thoughts?

also, can I apply the same rules for males when cutting i.e. 6 small meals per day, carb cycling, constant intake of healthy fats, circuit training (deads,squats,pull-ups,dips) plus fasted cardio etc etc.

Will adivse to cut drinking and knock the takeaways on the head of course . . .

Yes, please look over the diet forum bro. Nothing, not even hours of cardio will take the place of a solid diet, which apparently she does not have. Alot of women think the less they eat the more weight they will lose. This slows down their metabolism. She needs to eat a solid 6 times a day at least. Im sure theres a link for a woman's cutting diet I'll look
