Good morning Ladies,
I have a friend who is has been a beauty pageant contestant and needs to lose weight for work as a runway model by about April/09. No problem so far.
She is about 5 feet 9 inches tall and 120lbs. She says she needs to lose about 8 lbs, which I think is a lot, but she knows her business. The problem is, her bodyfat is already only 14.7%, so on the low end.
I told her if she lost 8 kilos of fat ONLY which would be hard to do, it would put her at about 7% and she'd be ripped. She says she'd like to lose 8lbs and still be about 12-14%.
So basically, she's come to me for help, but she's asking to lose muscle at the same rate as fat and I have no experience with this. Any advise on what she'd need to do to slim down and still look similar in tone? Keto diet maybe? I know its a weird request, especially here, its sacriledge. She has a great figure, lean but very curvy, and she fears that if she loses that much fat, she'll lose the curves that got her the runway job.
Thanks in advance.
Ehren
