A friend of mine has been on a very low calorie diet (VLCD) for the last eight months or so. It is a completely liquid diet. Her sex drive has been diminished over the time, to the point where she no longer has a sex life.

Too low calorie of a diet can cause hormonal changes and can be damaging to your health and sex life. Please have her see an endocrinologist doctor for an evaluation. she doesn't want to damage her health, when the whole idea of a diet is too improve it.

She has more than likely diminished a lot more than her sex drive. It is not good to go long term on a VLCD. They are just short term and for good reason. Your (her) body has a certain amount of calories that are needed for brain and bodily function...
Why is she doing this? And please tell me this is under a doctors care?

You may not be eating enough. Do you have energy for other things? Also are you eating healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, and nuts?

It can also lead to death, she needs a psychiatrist to treat her for annorexia nervosa.
