Co-Worker needing some info

[tattoopierced1]

I have a girl i work with that wants to lose about 10-20lbs. She is 5ft and 133lbs. She says she eats about 2000 calories per day, of which are approximatly 59g fat, 300g carbs, 70g protein. Anyone have a diet that has worked for a woman of about similar size?

[TravTriggz]

does she do any cardio?

[tattoopierced1]

she just started running and I believe she might do some aerobics at home but that is about it.

[glenihan]

lower the carbs, up the protein
and make sure she's eating complex carbs

agreed protein is thermogenic and she shoudln't need the glycogen restoration of a man. I woudl say 150 carbs a day and overcourse complex

Carbs too high, calories too high, protein not high enough, fat too high.

Lean sources of protein, clean fats, and complex carbs with a cut off time of about 7pm. Also tell her to add resistance training besides the cardio.

Cool, thanks alot guys. Everyone here at work always asks me nutrition/training questions because I went from 158lbs to 210lbs in a little over a year, however, I really hate giving advice to people that basically isnt my body...I like to just use mine as the guinea pig and I've never dieted once so I didnt want to give her wrong information...I really appriciate it.
