my friend has been dieting and has done well but is still dieting how can i stop her doing too much dieting?

Answer 1

you can't physicaly stop her from doing what she wants to do. You can tell her that you are concerned about what she is doing and suggest that she goes off the dieting for awhile then maybe go on another diet later. too much dieting isn't healthy especially if she's trying to lose weight.

Answer 2

You shouldn't stop her dieting, but you should make sure she is using the right approach to keep weight off. Low-carb, low-fat, low-cholesterol etc, are all way past their sell by date - they do not work properly when attempting to keep weight down.

Metabolic profiling (Free), Low-Glycaemic Indexing and possibly a Pro-biotic follow up are the only scientifically validated methods around at the moment.

Good luck.

Answer 3

same here i have a friend who went form a size sixteen to a size twelve in a month. i mean good luck to her whatever makes her happy but she bearly eats and she si wroyying me. what i'm doing is just keeping an eye on her and keep in a third person kinda way slipping into the conversation how bad extreme dieting is for her. good luck with your mate glad you care so much about them.

Answer 4

I think you have to have a serious talk with her. Make it clear that you care about her, that you're worried and that you want to help.

Don't preach to her but listen and hopefully she'll realise she may harm herself if she carries on with too much dieting. It's not a healthy way to treat your body and may do long-term damage.

Several years ago someone (to whom I wasn't really that close) took me aside and said they were concerned about me. This shocked me (because it was just an acquaintance really) into sorting myself out. But don't engineer this situation for your friend! She'll just think you've gone behind her back and may not trust you.

I think all you can do for now is let her know you're concerned, but also that you are there for her and are on her side.

If, god forbid, the situation escalates, you may have to get help - perhaps talk to her parents, or yours, about it to get their advice. Let your friend know though as she may feel betrayed otherwise.

I hope she listens to reason and understands you have her best interests at heart.
