This man knows his stuff. Google Starting Strength and have a go at it.

I do IF. It does nothing if you don't control your calorie intake. I just use it because the whole metabolism will slow down is crap and it fits my daily routine better and I can piggy out after weights and it feels good :) There are benefits to it, but don't expect to lose weight if you just cram all the food you usually…

Erm.. just no. Cardio will just increase her TDEE. We don't know if she is on a deficit at this point or not. Nutrition wise, fat, if anything, is required as part of a balanced diet. No fat foods is ridiculous. If anything cut down on carbs.,. And if she is going to do excersizes, might as well do something that can…

Fat is lost gradually and from all your body. You cannot lose fat from one specific area. It just goes down gradually from every part of your body. If you target some parts with just excersizes (like abs for example), it is in some cases counter-intuitive as the muscles will grow and push the fat upwards making you look…

weights are meant to be tough, but if you do them in such a way where it stops you from progressing you get hurt or get really unmotivated through them, you're doing them wrong. They should leave you out of breathe with adrenaline pumping. More satisfying than cardio. Along with weights, proper diet is a given (and that…

you might want to consider intermittent fasting. Haven't plateaued once with it since starting it. Used to have a slowdown myself before. Makes your life much much easier once you get used to it too.

keto diet is just awesome. Meat and cheese EVERYWHERE. I nearly lose 30lbs since starting just two months ago. Feel as best as ever, my blood tests are the best theyve ever been and I've hit 10% BF now too. I just love it. You feel so satisfied and satiated after you eat. It is just so rewarding eating. I try to keep the…

Sugar is best kept to the minimum possible. Protein, the more the merrier as long as you don't go over your caloric needs.

Been doing it for 2months now, doing IF fasting to go down below 10% BF with a bit of a calorie deficit. Feel free to add. Diet just consists of lots of meat and fats tho. Its a keto diet, no strictly atkins, but it worked wonders for me.
-
Well, the first question here is.. how much are you eating? What is your calorie intake compared to your BMR? Secondly, WHAT are you eating? What are your macros like? Third, you can consider weight lifting instead of cardio. Lower carbs, stack protein. Magic will happen. Finally, don't lose weight because your mum tells…

Per 188gr: Calories 350 Total Fat 15 g Saturated 6 g Total Carbs 40 g Dietary Fiber 8 g Sugars 3 g Protein 14 g 40grams of Carbs per 188grams? No thanks lol

You need advice. But not from us. Go see a doctor/your GP to get you back on track. Please.

I'm on a ketogenic diet. <10gr a day carbs I try. Feel amazing and havent looked this good in years, and with intermittent fasting I feel much more alert and active before my eating window. Anyways, things get so easy once your body adjusts to things. You become less hungry, more alert and aware of things. A v low carb…

weight fluctuates a lot. I go up and down ~2kgs during the day, especially after the gym. Don't worry about it too much. Weight is an easy pointer, but focus on body fat, muscle and bone mass. Those are the numbers you should be concerned about.
-
The only friend you need is yourself. Friends help, but you need to be ready to do it for yourself and for the right reasons. Best of luck on your goals! Once you get into a routine, it is much much easier!

Intermittent Fasting. If you are on a low carb diet, it will make it much easier to get into it. If not, try a detox diet, but IF is really the way to go. Fat melts off. Check out reddit.com/r/leangains for some info. It is not for everyone, but for people hitting a plateau and struggling to reach the form they want, it…

I LOVE carbs. Bread, pizza, pies, always been my weakness. That said, dropping carbs was the best decision I ever did. V low carbs will give good results (you'd be surprised if you stick to it). I try <20gr of carbs on most days with a cheat meal or two every now and then. I love carbs, I love losing weight more. Simple.…

I bought one, used it for a couple of days and tossed it away. Synching with MFP doesn't really help either. The bright side is that you can calculate runs with it, but you can do that for free if you have a smart phone.

Just because its a sports event, it doesn't mean they are there to promote healthy habits.

Filled the survey. I'm maltese, and apart from subway and McDonalds, I don't think Ive seen any place that shows the nutritional info. Having such info documented in most take away shops would be really cool, and would help most people make more of an educated guess about what they're eating. Having a healthy food place at…

Your biggest friend in this one is going to be yourself :) Read, learn, try different things to see what's best for you and set a new style to live with for good. Obviously any questions feel free to ask! Its much easier once you learn how your body reacts and processes food and workouts.
-
Plan around your macro goals. Once I know what I am looking for on a day, preparing for it is much easier for me. I buy food every two weeks, so freezer is packed with meat :) I cook food everyday, but I don't have much time, so usually just prepare something which can be cooked in 15mins (which everyone can spare) and…

Further to my post, list of references here as to why starvation mode is not really a problem: http://www.reddit.com/r/loseit/comments/q71cl/my_dear_dear_rloseit_please_stop_talking_about/

You are not going to hit starvation mode , there are tons of threads debunking that theory and explaining how you have to be under 4% body fat for that to happen BUT you will end up making yourself weaker by not eating enough. You will end up with teeth, hair, skin and nail problems.

You can easily do both at the same time. Calorie deficit with v v low carbs (<20) and high protein (200gr is what I take). I would also recommend checking out leangains: www.reddit.com/r/leangains Good luck.

5"11 and too little. (1100 avg). Sticking to v low carbs (<20g), high protein (~200gr) and mid intake of fats a day. Body fat has gone down like crazy while increasing (albeit slowly, which is understandable) in muscle, but progress has been constant with regular weight increases. So far this has been working. In 4.5weeks…

Calorie deficit. Reduce carbs, increase protein. Strength training. Magic. Get calipers and measure body fat btw, if you work out, weight alone is not a good indication to measure progress. Your waist and bf %, muscle % and bone massa re more relevant than the actual weight alone.
-
Increase calorie intae. Reduce carbs, add more protein. No need for all that cardio btw.
-
Can we see you diary? Protein shakes are good in theory as long as you don't over do it. Are you hitting your macros? Calculated your BMR? What is your current calorie deficit?
