BFL is a great way to ease someone into a training & diet program if they have never done it before. The concepts are basic & work and lots of people have gotten good results. But note that it takes time -- generally seems to take 3 weeks for a change in diet to show its results -- so dont' get discouraged if 30 lbs dont' come off immediately. The secret is that its a lifestyle, not something you do for a quick fix. Do a search on body for life and you will find lots of info.

The first thing is to make sure SHE wants to do it. She can't do it for anyone else if she doesn't want to. Also you might want to get her on this board so she can learn more about the whole thing.
But in general BFL is a great way to start - congrats to Bill Phillips for producing something that works, despite the push for EAS products....

I think the BFL diet and exercise concepts are good.
The only thing bothersome is the "transformation" pictures they show. While certainly inspirational, most people should not think themselves a failure if they themselves don't make a similar transformation in just 12 weeks. I'm not saying it can't be done, just that those aren't average results. Some of the people pictured have entered more than one 12-week BFL Challenge, and they're showing the very first and very last picture.

Yes those transformations do look a little unreal. I think in some of the before pics, the people had some muscle to begin with (under the fat).
Alot of people say they dont see results until week 8. Especially women and especially women who have yo- yo dieted (like me).
But it's a very good way to start out because the plan is so simple. No calorie counting.
Go to www.leanandstrong.com. About everyone there is on the body for life program. Check out their transformation gallery. Also, www.bodychangers.com shows some good transformations.
Good luck to your gf!

I like the program because it doesn't have you working for hours on end, feeling like you are going to drop dead. It's sane and DOABLE. Plus I improve in being able to do heavier weights sooner this way as opposed to the old "3 sets of the same weight every workout" that I was taught.
speaking of transformations- Do anyone here think a person could make a transformation like this in less than a year and a half? (and do it naturally?)
