I was victorious today!

I'm friends with this 16-year-old girl and she is very concerned about the way she looks. As of now, she basically has skinny fat syndrome. She barely eats (she eats about 900 calories/day) and does rediculous amounts of cardio. I kept telling her that the leanest women are the ones that lift and more muscle = better metabolism = ability to eat more food. She claims if she ups calories to 1200 she'll "explode". Anyways, today I convinced her to lift; to use basic compound movements and use moderate weights, not the 3 pounders. Also convinced her that for growth she needs more food. Alright, 1 down, 100 million to go

Congrats on the convert and stay with her. Mentoring someone that is willing to give it a chance is always special.

As for those that won't listen to the facts and voice of reason. I really makes one wonder why they call it COMMON sense when it is so UNCOMMON to find amongst the general population.
