She can perform, but doesn't have a good looking body, yet. I believe that it is because of her high-carb diet. She fuels her runs with carbs, and her body is able to stay the same shape. She wants to lose weight, but her father (who is a big running enthusiast) has her brainwashed that she must always eat a high-carb diet.
Sad.......

The other sad irony here is that a higher-carb diet works MUCH better with lifting than it does for aerobic activity because it uses the carbs to destroy muscle, it uses more carbs in the rebuilding process, and the higher muscle mass burns still MORE carbs just sitting around. |
