My girlfriend is 5'6 185lbs. and wants to get to 125-130. She used to be a swimmer in high school and has an athletic frame with strong legs, and wider shoulders. Is there a sample diet for one day one of you women can suggest for beginners; and, is there a sample program also for a beginner. Her goals are to lose that weight, but if she looks good at 140 then she will be happy with that. She just wants to be tone, and I am the chef in the house and need a hand preparing the correct foods in portions for her. Thanks ladies.

Go to the nutrition board. Cardio is importatant also, 1/2 hour 3-5 times a week. Throw all the twinkies away, no more stopping at KFC either.

I don't think those were the answers he was looking for...you guys are cruel. I would suggest a low-fat diet and lots of cardio to begin with, that's a heavy weight for a 5'6" frame.

Good Luck

I give credit to anyone making an effort,
She should cut out sugars( pop, sports drinks, sweetened tea)
Cut down on carbs, cardio 1st thing in the morning and try to eat 6 small meals a day.
Also try to drink lots of water.
Should be a good start

Toxic speaks the truth... cardio is paramount here. At least 45-60 min no less than 4x/week, REALLY 60 min 6 days per week is ideal. She will see real results with that cardio volume. A sample diet could go like this:

Meal 1 - 8 whites, 3/4c oats

Meal 2 - 2 scoops protein powder with water

Meal 3 - 4 oz chicken, salad, 1c brown rice, fat free dressing

Meal 4 - 2 scoops protein powder and water

Meal 5 - 6 oz fish or 4oz chicken or 3oz lean red meat and salad with fat free dressing or steamed veggies

Every few days she could add a little more carbs (such as a serving or two of oatmeal or a couple of 4 oz yams) to her meal plan in order to keep her metabolism guessing. Her post lifting meal should be one with carbs.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

WTF!!!!!!!! Your going to fricken kill her. I lose weight every time doing 30 minutes every morning 3-5 times a week. You expect somebody her size to start off doing cardio for 45 to 1 HOUR at least 4 TIMES A WEEK!!!!! Damn!

Maybe that includes the forced diet she'll be on in the hospital after the over exertion.

...A great way to force yourself into catabolism.

Just have her eat small balanced meals every 3-4 hours, keep the junk out of the house, and make sure she is training at a high intensity with weights 3-4x per week. Cardio 3-5x per week, building up to 30-45 minutes.

Bear in mind that everyone is different, and the suggestions I gave are in general what I recommend to most of my female clients looking to lose weight. Don't emphasize cardio over weights, and don't be afraid to have her lift hard and keep increasing the weight as she is ready.

You are also a boy with a faster metabolism...

As Fit Figure said, everyone is different. It is rare that you can go wrong with cardio though, and for a girl, 45-60 min 4-5 days per week is not that crazy.
