[quote=Anonymous]Getting her metabolic rate tested will be helpful. In order to lose weight you need less calories than your body is accustomed to getting. If she knows her Resting Metabolic Rate, then she can know how many calories she can eat in order to see weight loss. I am 3 months post partum (3rd child) and got my metabolic rate tested at a weight management clinic in Chevy Chase (Dr. Takems Weight Loss). Knowing that rate was sooo informative. With 3 little kids, I realized that the probability of leaving the kids to go to the gym was VERY slim, so what I am eating and how much is key. Since I got my metabolic rate tested, I have been on a 1200 calorie a day diet. My metabolic rate is 1600, so at 1200 calories a day, I have a deficit of 400. In case you are wondering how this has worked out for me, I was 190 when I gave birth and am now 152.8, which is 2 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight. Do tell her in a gentle reassuring way that you are concerned about her health and the choices she is making. [/quote]
