I couldn't possibly lose weight on this scheme. It's no wonder amyella is having trouble. Too much cardio, not enough weights, inappropriate timing of food with training from the little bit I see here.

Why do you think it is not enough weights to lose fat. I mean you only need to lift each body part once very 7 days to build muscle. As long as she is training each bodypart 1 per week it is fine. After all she is looking to lose fat. Bodyopus is basically the style she is training. I do agree though that on friday she needs to carb load immidiately after a depletion workout.

That could be the main problem. I lose 2 lbs of fat a week doing the carbup on friday. I also never do the diet for more than 2 weeks at a time either. Two long and my body adjusts.
