Hi all, posting on behalf of my wife.
Bit of history, she is 40 years old, mother of 3, 5'7", 70.6kg.
She has been training for about 18 months and has lost around 8kgs.
She does weights ie: trains with me and we do 1 body part per day
eg: Monday: shoulders, Tuesday: Back, Wednesday: Bi's, Tri's, Traps. Thursday: Legs, Friday: Chest. Each day also 30 minutes of cardio.
She trains extremely hard, even a world class Body builder made a comment about how hard she's trains.
Things have been a struggle lately ie: 6 months, she was losing about 1 kg a month but has stopped, having said that she was doing an extra 2 hours a week cardio on top of the normal cardio. The amount of effort v's the results is I feel starting to mentally strain her.
Her diet is roughly this per day:
2150 CALS
220 protein
75 fat
130 carbs
That's made up of protein shakes, eggs, turkey, chicken, rice, veggies, salad, nuts etc. She eats every 2 hours or do and is very strict.
Any help or guidance would be great fully appreciated.
PS: as for the training, she mixes it up , ie lite weight and heavy, hi rep and low, does the basics ie: squats, dead lifts etc.
