Hey folks,

Here is the problem, I have a friend who has a very strange eating pattern. This has been going on for about three years and is finally getting to the point where I’m worried for her. I’ll start from the top… three years ago she was over weight and didn’t really care about what she ate. Then suddenly she saw the whole Special K cereal diet that soon became popular. During this diet she only ate three meals a day. Two meals would be the cereal with skim milk and the third would be dinner and it would be whatever she felt like having. After about a couple of months she noticed a big decrease in fat and began to start this diet hardcore. Now that she had been doing that diet for about 2 years this developed a mind set where she could only eat 2 small snacks and a big meal at the end of the night. I’ve noticed over time that she has grown fatigued easy and I think her diet has gone on for way too long. It’s just not healthy to eat like that! I talked to her about this and she says that she is overwhelmed with guilt if she eats more than three meals. I’m truly concerned about her health. Anyone have any ideas on how to break this mind set and change her diet?

My question again was about popular diets and there have been some great answers
