show her a picture of people from ethiopia and point out that although they are starving they all have a big round belly. then explain that when you starve your body you are making it think that it will need all the nutrition it takes in needs to be stored as a sort of reserve for when it has no incoming nutrition. what this means is that if she goes hungry too often then everything she eats will automatically be stored as fat because the body thinks that she will need these nutrients later on so eventually after this goes on for a while it will actually make you bigger. or make her see a nutritionist or dietician.

Let her know that when the body is malnourished it turns to lean muscle for food. So without a healthy eating plan and good exercise habits, her body will be eating its own muscle and not the body fat.

make her exercise. cutting down on food doesnt help her body, it only hinders it. show her some safe diets.
