Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Fitness?
It's all in the numbers. If you take in more calories than you burn, you will gain weight not loose. There are hundreds of web sites that give info on proper eating habits. It is a shame that she does all that exercise but won't eat right. Try going to the US government's new web site about the NEW FOOD PYRAMID. go to
www.mypyramid.gov and find out about the new food pyramid which recommends. 13 servings of fruit and veggies per day, whole grain breads, and chicken turkey and fish. and SMALL amounts of fats and oils, and very very veyr little junk food. I think you can enter in your own information and make a food pyramid chart just for yourself or herself, personalize to you. And it will tell you what you need to eat to loose weight.
Hope this helps. It is nice that you are concerned about your friend. Good luck to you.

You want the truth?-A straight forward answer?..here it goes..
You can't help her! You can't control what she eats! It's her life..let her control it. I know you're her friend and you care for her and all..but seriously, screw it. You can't help her..only encouraging advice would help..not even..
-I tell it like it is..-Like it or not
