It depends on her size. I've found that people with a lot to lose can drop quite dramatically at the beginning. Also people lose differently so while it's frustrating to lose so little, it might be your body's way of coping with the changes.
She may be taking something. There's a "diet pill" (
) that's being advertised on tv (not sure if I'm allowed to mention it but it starts with an 'A') that says you can lose an extra pound to every 2 you lose.
Here we go:
It works by stopping some of the fat you eat from being absorbed, so for every 2 lb (1 kg) you lose from eating healthily, adding
alli can help you lose 1 lb (1/2 kg) more.
Due to the
way the alli capsules work, it’s important to eat a reduced calorie, lower-fat diet. You may do so already, in which case you’ll probably only need to make some minor adjustments – check your daily
fat and calorie targets for more details.
I've only heard bad things about it, like people going over so many calories have had fat leaking out of them. I read of a woman who kept leaking every time she had gas, and who's pants used to be all greasy from fat leaking out! :jelous:
I personally think that sticking to eating well and moving more than usual is the way to go. I wish I could lose more than 1lb a week but I'm just grateful it's a loss and that it's not damaging me!
