I need some help for my friend..

I'm getting really concerned over my friend, her eating habit is awful, all she eats is cereal and chocolate, maybe the odd time she will have a chicken or egg sandwhich.

Lately she's been feeling sick all the time and shaking with back pains, I've told her she needs to eat more vitamins and try new healthy foods but she just won't do it. 

I just need some answers on why she's feeling like this? I've been her friend all her life and I can see her going downhill and it's getting me worried. 

Many thanks.

    Can you persuade her to drink ensure drinks. You need to drink two a day to keep the body and mind tops.

    You can buy them or your Dr can prescribe them.

    They are either milkshake or juice. Drink which ever one you like.

    Just an idea x

    hi

    you are clearly a very good friend. but i think that hte only way to ensure success is for her to want to change herself. you cannot force her to do something she doesn't want to do.

    let her know that you are there for her to talk to and that you are willing to support her. eg going to see a doctor together?

    it is a good idea to get her to take some of the supplement food drinks if her diet is really bad.

    good luck. you are doing a great thing
