Whats good for men..is good for women Just basic stuff..chicken, turkey breasts, lean red meat, tuna, fish, egg whites, cottage cheese...oatmeal, yams, rice, veggies etc..1-1.5 grams of protein per lb...I would have her take in at least 150-200 grams per day...she can rotate her carbs...high on days she trains and low on days she doesn't train..she should drink 1-1.5 gallons of water a day..leave out the junk food..breads..pastas..simple sugars..processed foods..make your own meals..that way you know what is in them..she should take in 20-30 grams of good fats..like olive oil, flax oil, natural peanutbutter...mix flax w/ your shakes if you dont like the taste..or put it on your veggies..6 meals a day...I would keep her away from cardio and just focus on heavy training and eating clean.she will see some nice lean muscle gain and loss of bodyfat as well.

Good stuff new@! The answers are pretty straight forward to getting results from dieting & training. The hard part is applying it consistently and being patient.

You mentioned she's doing 3 days upper body, 3 days lower body. How about try a more targeted schedule, i.e.

Day 1: Back & Bis
Day 2: Legs
Day 3: Off
Day 4: Chest & Tris
Day 5: Shoulders & calves, abs
Day 6: Cardio
Day 7: repeat

Or something like that -- break the workout into major muscle groups and keep the cardio down to maybe 1-2 days/ week. She really probably doesn't even need it right now.

She could probably just follow your schedule...

Even a change in training schedule could spark some results - its good to change up every 6-8 weeks so the body doesn't get "comfortable" to the routine.

I would challenge her to try that for 3 weeks and see how she feels and how the results are before getting panicky about doing something drastic or lookign for a quick fix in the form of a pill.

Waaaaaaaaaay too much cardio!

What she THINKS she wants to accomplish and what she ACTUALLY wants to accomplish are TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THINGS.

Case in point - my ex training partner. She was strong as a horse (for a woman who NEVER ate and threw up most of what she DID eat.... she once told me that the only thing she would NOT throw up was a protein bar because SHE KNEW that those were good for her... yea, I was in that hell along with her - not saying that YOUR GIRL IS) - lifted and cardioed like a mo-fo, had like ZERO percent bodyfat (really) - she was ripped to shreds!... geeze, she made Ethiopians look FAT... but STILL was not satisfied with the fact that her ass would "hang".... what ass she had, that is.

Anyways... what your girl REALLY wants is TO ADD MASS... this way her metabolism will be faster, thus burning MORE BODYFAT - and VIOLA - less flab and fat on her butt and thighs... more definition - PERIOD!

This can be accomplished WITHOUT A/S... A/S IS NOT MAGIC and she will be poorer and NOT BE SATISFIED with the results.... if she DOES NOT EAT BETTER and/or ENOUGH and does TOO MUCH CARDIO the A/S (regardless of what type it is) WILL NOT DO A DAMNED THING!

SHE NEEDS TO:

A) EAT BETTER AND MORE

B) CUT THE CARDIO

C) DEVELOP BETTER TRAINING HABITS... overtraining is counterproductive.
