she has to make permanent changes in her lifestyle (diet and exercise) to lose fat permanently otherwise it will all come back.
find daily calorie intake calculator on the net, enter all your stats and it will tell you how many calories you need a day to maintain, take off 300-400cal off that number and thats how much you need to lose.
eat 5-6 small meals a day (eat every 2-3 hours - it optimizes your metabolism)
5-8 servings of fruit and veggies a day
8 glasses of water
have complex carbs for breakfast - they give you energy
have protein (lean meat, legumes etc) for dinner - repairs muscle
cardio is the only fat burning exercise and burns fat all over your body (running, jogging, swimming, spinning, elliptical etc) 4-6 times a week for 30-50min (ideally 45min because the first 20-30min body burns carbs and only then starts burning fat), light weight training (more muscle=faster metabolism)
dont consume foods that are made of white flour (white bread, cakes, pasta etc.), sugar loaded foods (cookies, icecream, candy etc) and nothing fried, oily.
ofcourse you can spoil yourself once in a while with a little treat:)

Personally, I eat lots of munchies like cherry tomatoes, spiced green beans, pistachios, dried fruit. Things that are high in fiber but low in calories. Be sure to have some cheeses for protein. It helps keep the hunger down.

Drink alot of water, like 10 glasses a day. My friend did this and lost about 20 pounds. She also ate healthier too, but drinking the water helped keep her food portions down because it filled her up.
