It takes a LONG time to see results. [b]Like years[/b]. Body fat percentage also impact how visible results will be.

This is not true. It does not take "years" to see results! WTH are you talking about. If that were the case no one would stick with it.  I think I started seeing visible results after 2 months of 3xs a week of hard lifting with a trainer. I'm female over 50, slim build. Which brings me to your one point I do agree with. Body fat % plays a role here. The lower your % the sooner you'll see that tight, toned muscle look most woman seek. Until you shed fat however, muscle will appear bulky not tight and toned.

You can shed fat while gaining muscle, and that is all diet.  Don't even think about cardio for this. You need a lot of protein, especially after your workout.  try to get at least 20 grams soon after you work out.

DP - first, that you're slim plays a huge role in seeing results so quickly, as you acknowledge.  So people should take your advice with a massive grain of salt.  (Also, the PP you're disagreeing with said that body fat percentage plays a role)

Second, shedding fat while gaining muscle requires scrupulous attention to diet, more than many people want to give or might be considered healthy.  So, yeah.  Not trivial.[/quote]
