Eat 3 main meals.

Morning : Fruits

Lunch : Salad and grilled chicken (fish) /or/ Salad and pasta /or/ Tuna (Without the oil )

Evening : Veggies / or / fruits /or/ yogurt /or/ cup of milk

She can drink tea with honey as much as she pleases.. a lot of water but not right before or right after the meals so she won't get gassy .. She can eat random veggies between meals and even some nuts.

Never mix up proteins with carbs! .. Like meat with potatoes for example .. totally wrong !

She has to give up on soda, chips .. and pretty much everything that we all know is fattening.

She could run on the treadmill or wherever for 15 minutes a day.

Never eat after 7 pm

This is the kind of urgent diet that I do not advise people to follow for more than a week or two maximum. Be aware that once she starts eating normally after this , she will gain the weight back ( if she doesn't do sport while dieting ) .. so sport is very important and helps her maintain her weight after the diet.

I did this diet.. and I lost around 5 kgs in a week.

Tip for faster matabolism : Eat small meals.. with small snacks between them.

and .. during the running .. don't do it the same speed the whole time .. Walk, then jog, then faster.. then walk again .. then faster again ..then sprint run.. then walk again .. this is really good for the metabolism .. and also let her drink water with squeezed lemon right after the running.

Good luck and I hope I helped :) By the way , everything written in here is from my own experience.. I had some friends try it and it worked wonders.

You may lose weight with this diet, but it will rather slow down your metabolism. Also 15 min a day is a bit on the lower side. Aim for at least 30 min a day

[Yriuqni]

30 minutes in the first days is not good .. she ll get cramps and won't be able to walk or stand up .. so starting from 15 minutes is the best . And no it will not slow down her metabolism because she is going to have several small meals . What slows down the metabolism is if she eats only once or twice a day .. + that the way of running I mentioned is exactly for people who want to make their metabolism faster :) My friend is a well known trainer so trust me I don't say stuff I'm not sure of.

I lost a ton of weight doing this as well. It works. For real.

It you are trying to lose that amount (in what time frame?), I would suggest seeking the help of professionals such as Jenny Craig or Weight Watchers. I haven't used either but they seem to be best equipped for losing larger amounts.

Other than that, sign up for the gym and actually go regularly. Exercise always helps and building muscle mass will up your metabolism. If you don't want to pay for the gym, at least stay active - jog daily or every other day for at least 15 minutes.

Eat small meals every 4 hours isntead of just 3 big meals a day. I find that also helps to keep my metabolism on a steady high throughout the day instead of up and down crashes.

Drink water and eat lots of veggies and fruit. These are low calorie foods that tend to fill you up so you eat less of other things.

Get up earlier in the morning and eat breakfast for one thing.

Skipping breakfast slows your metabolic rate for the entire day.

Losing 20-40lbs, while increasing your metabolic rate, is possible but quite hard. She will need to be on a strict diet, not in terms of limiting the amount she eats, but by making sure that the only carbohydrates she eats are complex carbohydrates. Lentils are a good example. So are oats, like porridge.

They release their energy into the system slowly over the course of the day, giving her metabolism a constant kick start, keeping it active during the day.

she'll also need protein, to help with her muscles. And finally, she should exercise with free weights to build muscle.

More muscle, will increase her basic metabolic rate. Muscle is also denser than fat, so she can lose inches that way.

First of all, any dieting she does is going to slow her metabolism, not speed it up. The only reliable way to increase her metabolism would be to increase her muscle mass. Doing lots of exercise burns calories, but that's not a permanent metabolic increase.

For the record, not eating in the morning is slowing her metabolism down.

How old is she? I'm not recommending an aggressive diet if she's still growing.
