Thread: Helping my girl lose weight

My girl has dropped 25lbs and can not lose any more and I mean she cannot .

We have backed her intake of calories to as low as 1000 calories a day . Still no weight lose. She follows an intensive workout routine. Have changed her diet many of times but it took a year to cut 25lbs and then nothing.

We have decided to look into supplementation now as any otc products and such have had no effect.


Also have tried keto for anybody who may recommend that 6 weeks in she lost no weight.

Please give us here current diet and training to see where it's at.

I would say you are starving her. Calories should never go that low ever. I would recommend a reverse diet back to maintenance with a break before you look into dieting again and adding suppliments. Does she have any other goals other than losing weight? What is her height, age, weight ect as of now. Also I would take note that lowering the calories isn't always the answer and can cause more damage than good in certain situations. Has she tried hiit before?

This is gonna be your best advice here to try... reverse the calorie intake for a week or two then drop em back down
also sounds like the work load is a little extreme(thats too much cardio and weight resistance for stats imho). whats her .N.E.A.T look like? Sometimes just increasing your day to day activities can help conditioning... not so much excercising but stuff like yard work, cleaning house, working on your feet(laborious job), taking the stairs instead of elevators, parking further away from store and walking more ext ect exetera

Would need to know what the current diet looks like and I guess most recent change in diet you mentioned you've tried. If she's training really intensely on a highly restricted diet, if the body sees that it is being starved of required nutrients (i.e. appropriate energy for the work demands), it's going to stall out. Possible also "overtraining" which can also result in a general stall.

The last 2 weeks she hasn't been on a a diet as she doesn't gain or lose either way.

I would not say she is over training either as she has also backed that down just a bit to what she did when she first lost that 25lbs.

As of now she has a slightly above average training regime and a healthy diet.
