Answers:
I say, start with a subtle approach here!. It's important that you offer help in a way thats "supportive" and in a way that doesn't make her feel like you are "nagging" her!. I can almost promise that she'll be more receptive!.

You should suggest that the two of you cook low and no-fat-calorie meals together (which is pretty much a strict, vegetarian diet)!.!.!.which can be a great way for the two of you to spend time together and have some fun!!!! Also, suggest that you two jog and work out together!. Your goal is to make her understand that there are SO many ways for her to loose weight and lead a healthy lifestyle without her having to harm her body !.!.!.even if you have to resort to a little reverse psychology (wink)!!!

Here's a great website that offers support AND recipies: http://www!.vegetarian-diet-plan!.greenhea!.!.!. and of course there are others out there!.

If she doesn't want to go along with with this, try appealing to her directly (this is when it's ok for you to be a nag)!. If it comes down to it, talk to her parents!. Don't worry about pissing her off!. Remember, your friend's LIFE is more important than anything!. Hopefully, she will come to understand that you are genuinely concerned and that you wouldn't be much of a friend if you weren't!.

I hope this helps!. All the best to you and your friend!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi there

You should talk to her about the long term damage she is doing to her body!. You can damage yourself in a way that it will take years to recover if you starve yourself!. Skipping meals is so dangerous and ultimately, it doesn't get you what you want!. Here is an article about it that may help you be more informed and it explains why it is pointless

If you can't get though to your friend then i think you may need to speak to her siblings or her parents as it is too much responsibility for you to cope with on your own!. Good luck with thisWww@Answer-Health@Com

Give her this list!.!.!.this is what happens when she keeps up the "fast" she is on
