I understand your worry about your friend. Maybe you could encourage her to walk a bit more, even if it is only a bit to start with. That will help her to lose weight in a controlled way and could also could help her to deal with her stress. I am not over-weight but walk whenever I am feeling stressed - it works for me.
She walks everywhere. I could never walk like she does. She can barely get up off a chair but she walks (it hurts her, I can tell this) about 10 blocks to her job and back again.

She must have exceptional genes.
