fad diets bad. period. variety and balance are important. the more vegetables you eat, the better off you are, period, in about a million different ways. most people should drink milk. eat as little of obvious junk food as you can handle. no sugary drinks, including juice. peanut butter is good for you. whole grains (and i don't mean "whole wheat" bread that has been dyed a light brown, i mean like brownberry brand "health nut" bread) are good. don't do a protein diet unless you both want a personal ass-kicking from me and a slow and painful death around age 40.
that's how to eat healthfully. but the other issue... tough. my cousin's wife is drop-dead gorgeous, and full-figured, and i don't mean that euphemistically... she makes guys drool. but she feels fat. when she got her prom pictures back senior year, she thought she looked so fat in her dress that she couldn't stop crying. there really isn't a heck of a lot you can do for her, except love her and tell her how beautiful she is. oh, and bag on any model you see, including the victoria's secret models. call them deathly skinny and sick looking. and say that their boobies are obviously fake, since nobody with 4% body fat can maintain decent ones. (i know they're real, freaks of nature, but real, but just LIE, okay?) that always puts a smile on my face.
