Are you dieting? Being in a calorie deficit can affect your mood negatively. Or perhaps you are in need of a deload.

This is the second post you meant to post in the Misc but posted here instead.

Not sure what you want us to do. If she won't listen to a doctor, why would she listen to randoms from the internet?

I take creatine and I'm pretty confident it's not harmful in any way. That's...

Eat the foods that provide your body with the nutrients you need - but reduce total calories consumed so that you are in a deficit.

If you have a log of your bodyweight and calorie intakes, you can judge your daily energy needs from that. Every 1lb lost means that you burned 3500 calories more than you ate in that time. Bear in...

Actually it's not clear how important frequency is.

It's suggested that you train a bodypart more than once a week because that would be too long to wait. However, there are many other factors...

Yes, it's a reasonable rule of thumb and it should be the same for anyone not just men. It's not precise and assumes that the weight lost is pure fat which it obviously isn't going to be. There is...

Better to ask this in the main losing fat or nutrition forum. Also read the sticky threads there.

Building muscle.

I'm not great at BF% calculations. You can ask in the BF% thread in the Fat Loss forum but I would say your priority is to gain muscle at the moment.

Nobody needs special nutrition advice unless...

Welcome - but you have some reading to do. Everyone needs a baseline of knowledge to save the forum regulars answering the same questions over and over. Read the "sticky" threads at the top of each...

If you stop training, it's not going to make the problem of you not liking your body go away.

On the other hand, that might be a mental issue - perhaps seek out counselling / CBT

Eating good...

That shouldn't matter. I go almost every day but I only do a total of 4-6 sets because that's all the volume I need at the moment. It's total hard sets per week that counts.

That's not quite true. Strength and hypertrophy go hand in hand. The amount of volume needed is the amount your body needs to cause a response that results in strength improvement and muscle growth....
