    My friend is only eating 700 calories a day. I've told her time and time again that it isn't enough and she needs at least 1200. She isn't listening to me. Is there some key phrase that I can tell her that will make her listen? She went from 170 to 156 in a really short period of time (2 weeks) and I don't feel this is going to be sustainable in the long run. She was on a healthy normal rate of loss before this time period but she became impatient because the loss wasn't fast enough for her.
    You can't. People will do what they want even if it means their health to achieve results. When her hair starts falling out, maybe she'll stop.

    I assume your friend is an adult. You have expressed your concerns to her. Now it's time to back off and let her make her own decisions.

    Leave her alone. You’ve told her your concerns. She’ll do what she wants apparently.
