    Well if she hasn't it could be contributing to why she hasn't lost anything. Especially if she's regularly consuming things with refined sugars.
    There are tons of people who switch to a "proper" vegan diet and exercise regularly and still can't manage to lose much weight.

    Everyone is completely different.

    I disagree. Yes, bad carbs like refined sugars should be cut out because they don't fill you up, are addictive, and tend to encourage overeating. But if you're eating good, healthy carbs, then it won't prevent you losing weight if you have a caloric deficit. There is no need to completely rearrange your macro-nutrients unless you have a medical issue, or she's trying to support muscle growth and needs a huge amount of protein or something (which I don't think is the case?). Weight loss is about calories out over calories in and carbs don't have some magical property that messes with that, lol.
    Low carb diet= maybe a large initial loss of water weight, which is redundant anyway.

    I tried with fitness pal I make a lot of cardio (rope, jumpy jacks and things like that), take long walks and make some resistance too. I make about 45 minutes everyday must be something wrong with me.

    I`m celiac and got sugar resistance so i don`t eat sugar at all and nothing with gluten (like bread or cakes)

    It sucks cuz in Fitness pal says that i need about 2400 cal day to maintain the weight and i`m eating under 1500 and exercising

    When you say overweight, do you mean that you're overweight according to the BMI calculation? If you are, it's actually inaccurate because it overestimates when someone has high bone density or a lot of muscle. A better way to determine if you're healthy is to measure your waist circumference.

    If you're just looking at the weight, it doesn't mean much if you're eating well, exercising, and living an active lifestyle.

    Scarlet is right, bodybuilders are obese according to the BMI scale. Find your Body Fat %, and then try to lower that by continuing to eat right, drink lots of water, lift weights, and doing cardio. Green tea is great as well, I highly suggest trying it if you haven't already. One last thing; make sure you are getting enough sleep. Without enough sleep, it has been proven that people gain weight. Try your best to get at least 8 hours of sleep a night. Hope I helped
