Helping Friend Lose Weight Properly

[Guest guest]

Hey All,

I've been grateful for being part of this groups for 2 years now.

I'm 21 years old (was a gymnast) and I'm trying to help an overweight

girl I've known since I was 12 years old. I want to train her

properly, but I'm afraid that my calisthenics training wouldn't help

her immediately. She is 210 lbs, 5'3, with slightly weak knees. If

there is any books/sites/suggestions that I should check out, I would

really appreciate it. I'm thinking of putting her on a proper diet

(using the Zone diet) to hopefully change the way her metabolism

works. ANY help is welcomed.

Thanks (and a happy holidays!)
