my thoughts of her thinking "is this change for real" are accurate.
patience is key.
your lrt worked so keep it up, making subtle adjustments as needed (monitor results and do what works, stop doing what doesn't but give things time before any sudden changes)
as far as thinking w is following the advice of others...for now that's ok but that line of thinking will not get you anywhere as it assumes she can't/wont think for herself.
you are in a bit of a piecing situation right now so best bet is to take things slowly and be patient.
