Answers:

She might still be eating a little, but she is not eating enough. And it is not normal to feel dirty about eating, and to be eager to be hungry again.

At present, I'm not TOO worried about her weight. But if this continues, she will crash, health-wise.

Your friend should at least talk to a counselor about eating disorders, before she hurts herself. It is good to want to be healthy, and an hour of exercise is not excessive at all. But the severe limits on her meals are another matter.

Good luck.
