ladies need help 4 a friend its urgent !!!

sassy thx 4 the help
10 days ago she felt she's gaining weight she was using the normal diet used by most dietitians (55% carbs ,35 % pro ,15 % fat) and when she weighted herself on the tanita scale the one with the hand grips it showed that she gained 2.1pounds of muscles and 1 pound of fat
now she is a dietitian, but she shouldnt have used a normal diet (she knows nothing about sports nutrition) she is training 3 times cardio and five days heavy weight training
so i told her to ulter her diet because these percentages r used by couch potatos who want to loose weigh.
we ultered the diet to 50-57 gr carbs a day 200 gr pro and 30-35 gr fat
a week passed and she lost a lot of water and 1,2 pounds of fat according to the tanita scale and she is sooo happy that she lost 1 size in her pants (only in a week)
is that good or do we have to tweak the diet more IYO

All the carbs will definitely affect water holding - so just dropping the ratio will make a big difference - she shouldn't expect to see a linearly continuing drop in weight w/ the diet change because she will immediately drop water weight by changing the carbs. A good baseline ratio is 40% p / 30% F / 30% C - something close to that will work well - and then you can tweak that going forward.

Hi sassy!!

Hey GG!

I concurr with all the advice the ladies gave before me, very solid. Only thing to add is another good way to gauge progress is to take pics of yourself in the same outfit every couple of weeks.

Trust me on this one.

You know how they say a pic is worth a thousand words?

Sometimes this is one of THE BEST and easiest, no tech ways to better see results.

thx bikinimom
she took some pics and measurments on sunday
and will take them again every 2 weeks
