And her diet is-

Her current physical stats are-

Age: 20

Her target is to lose 6KGs per month is possible, down to approx 75KGs bodyweight.

Does anyone have any constructive tips or advice on how she can reach her monthly weight loss target even faster and/or for guaranteed each month though please?


Thanks
 
There are no guarantees when it comes to weight loss, but a couple of things are pretty much for certain.

First, the target of 6 kg a month or more is pretty unrealistic.
Two, she didn't put the weight on over night, she shouldn't expect to lose it over night either.
Three, there are too few calories in this plan. With the low amount of calories and the exercise, she'd be essentially starving herself. Which means that:
Four, she'll be heading straight into a plateau in a pretty short amount of time. And
Five, if she ever decides to eat and live like a normal human being again (meaning, not starving herself), she'll pile the pounds back on in no time.
 
It seems that she's acting... bad. She can't eat so few calories! When I was at my lowest, and I know it was too few kcal, I ate 1000 a day and didn't exercise so much, and I'm 3 inches shorter! She needs to eat more or she's going to seriously hurt herself. It's better to lose weight slowly and steadily than to lose 50 pounds and gain 100 back! [link removed]
