you can't really change how your friend eats when you're not there- but you can tell her to look on an "online caloric needs calculator" to see how many calories her body actually needs.
As you may know, weight loss is not about starvation- it's about calories consumed vs. calories burned. Your body naturally burns a certain amount of calories every day, and if she is overweight she is obviously consuming more calories than her body is burning. That needs to change.
So just tell her to count calories- find out how many she should have in a day and stick to that number!
hope i helped
