HELP Diet/ Exercise Advice for a Friend

[*MissFit*]

Hey I have a friend who is going to the Bahamas Next sat...

She is a bigger girl.. (200lbs+), 5'5 and we won't even touch on the BF.

Anyhow.. she has asked me how to shape up the best she can in the next week and i am at a lose for words...

I am not sure if she should do cardio only or if i should actually have her incorporate some weights.. any advice would be appreciated..

She is currently on no exercise program... I'm just tryin to help out

 

[*MissFit*]

Foods she should avoid.. or incorporate would be appreciated to..

I understand long term goals and trying to meet them, but not sure if those same rules apply to short time frams as well

Stay away from Proccessed foods, Sugars, Carbs late, And Fats(unless they are good ones such as all natural peantu butter, fish oil, flax oil)

Fast food is a nono, basically unprocessed foods are the best for ya.

Start her out with weitghts 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week HITT cardio is probably best. Get her lifting first then do the cardio after lifting. Diet is simple 10X body weight for cutting the split it 40% protien 30% carbs 30% fat. Absolutly no white flower or over processed foods as mm was saying. Best protien options are lean sorces chicken, fish, flank steak, eye of round, whey, eggs whites etc. Carbs yams, rolled oats, brown rice, etc. Fats natty pb, olive oil, flax oil etc. Veggies get her to fill up on greens and dash of the other ones but primarly greens. Cheat meal once a week to keep her sanity.

8 ish days? I have no clue CC, sowwy and nothing I can think of I would recommend if ya now what i mean...

 

[Ed/d [beginner]]

Well the diet and exercise program im on I lost 10 lbs in 2.5 weeks and ive actuallt lost close to 15 lbs in 2.25 weeks. I on high protein, NO processed sugar diet. I excerise and cardio every day. I ve gained strength and have lost alot of fat! Tell your freind if she REALLY wants to lose the pounds, she has got to REALLY want it and stick to a tight diet and exercise plan.

 

[superqt4u2nv]

Oh shit I just read that she is looking to do this in a week you should know CC there are no quick fixs it is a complete lifestyle change.

 

[*Bunny*]

She knows, CC had an amazing tranformation as well, she's trying to help in any way she can - I gotcha girl

Losing too much weight too fast is NOT healthy no matter how you do it... hmm even though I did document that I can lose 11 lbs in day due to my water intake

CC- what does she think about starting a program, even after the cruise?

 

[treilin]

Tell her to starve herself (drinking only protein/slim fast shakes), run on a treadmill for 8 hours straight, and take water pills every 4 hours.
Kinda ridiculous to wait till a vacation to diet. It's a life changing event, not a one week cram...

 

[Sassy69]

Reschedule the vacation???

The Hollywood Liquid Diet or whatever that was -- drop about 10 lbs water weight in 3 days.

 

[The Shadow]

smart ladies......every response is valid in terms of the 1 week - cram like a final deal

Guy i know its not healthy.. but shes going away.. she won a trip.. so not prep or palnning tim really avail..

She has always been heavier.. but has felt pretty bad about herself lately and i can't deny i can see a few extra pounds.. so just tryin to help where i can

 

[Sassy69]

Its sweet of you to want to help and all, but as with every person who has ever gotten up one morning and realized they were heavier than they wanted to be, you didn't get that way in a week & you aren't going to get the way you want to be in 1 week.

The only "weight" she can change in 1 week is water weight.

Maybe this trip will spur her to start a long-term plan instead of just ignoring it until she gets another opportunity to do something where she becomes conscious of her weight again....

Otherwise she should just enjoy the trip!

^^^ I was thinking the exact same thing...

Honestly, if it was that easy (do whatever for 1 week & be a supermodel), this site probably wouldn't even exist.

And Shadow would have to rely on his good looks and stellar personality to get girls to flock around him. That would be a tuff life.

she can look like she lost 15 or 20 pounds-

1) avoiding all carbs - she'lll drop a boat load of water as well as some fat- after a few days, some limited low glycemic carbs (like whole wheat) for some energy & see #6

2) ephedrine/caffeine (20/200) 2x a day

3) yohimburn on the belly/love handles 2x a day

4) HIGH protein from lean meats & fish and shakes, and some nuts for energy- small meals 5 or 6 times a day

5) early AM waking cardio after the E/C stack and AFTER ALITTLE PROTEIN (not an empty stomach or she'll spike cortisol which will hurt the effort)

6) round about day 4 or 5 some prune juice to help eliminate intestinal bulk

7) drink alot of water tru out

she'll be exhausted but look lots leaner for vacation
