Thats what they call starving yourself.

Not cool. She'll lose weight but alot of it will be muscle.

I advice your Girl friend to spend more time doing Cardio Exercise to keep her trim...but stil it depends on what she really wants

She needs to figure out what she wants and the diet planning with a personal trainers advise... Not only us or you.. thats the best for her!

AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA!!! ...ohhh mmmaaaaan...hahahahahahahahahaha! I am sitting on my floor laughing my ass off at that...oh holy shit nuts that is some funny shit...wow...listen Mr. Bear.....you are a funny motherfucker

I believe it is better for a beginner to start with a full body routine. And I'm not certain it is essential to have her reps rather that high.

mix it up more.

I wrote down 21 different 15min exercises (stair master, pushes up, lunges, crunches, etc) and do a different group of 3-4 everyday so you never do the same workout twice. Workout plans like p90x do this for you, but with a little research you can do this yourself.

I tend to like 2-3 exercises per body part. 1-3 sets for 8-15 reps depending on what I'm doing. (Calves higher reps - Squats lower reps) I train 4 days a week.

She can also train using machines as she builds up her strength. As for things like the hack sled and 45 degree sled...if she can only move the sled...then by all means...at least get her used to the movement and correct posture and foot placement by pushing just the sled. Add 5 pound increments if that's all she can handle each week.

Same principles of training apply to a woman. If she can only do a one-arm row with 5-10 pounds then so be it...but tell her to work for an increase of a little bit of weight and one more rep on that final set each week. She still needs to work towards her max. Lifting will do her no favors if she sticks to the little colored dumbbells.
