How unhealthy is this diet?

Ok well im not on this diet, my girlfriends mother is. We both talked 2 her about how bad this diet is for her, so I came here hoping a fitness instructor can help me out with our little problem.

Ok well my girlfriends mom in the past month and a half has lost over 50 pounds exactly, she starts at january first, it is now feb 18.

Here is the diet, she is allowed 2 eat 1 snack a day, and she can either eat dinner/lunch. She isnt anorexic as she says. The diet she is on basically lets her eat one snack, and have either lunch or dinner, but she also takes these pills for like breakfest or either lunch/dinner. Which it give her the nutrients I guess?

Can somebody explain 2 me what might happen in the future 2 her, how is this bad, and what could happen?
 
Well, she's clearly acting like a crazy person.

Tell her she'll end up with lots of flabby skin, no muscle at all, and a completely disgusting body, with no metabolism to speak of..and gain all the weight back the moment she gets off the diet, due to the complete slowdown of her metabolism...because she very likely will.

Then there are the other considerations: what it will do to her health, her energy levels, and her well-being. She's really better off staying overweight than doing that to her body.

It's up to you how involved you want to get, but if it were my mother, I'd find some way to force her to stop.

Yea, but it isnt my mother. In my opinion I hate the dumb b****. But its my gfs so yea, and her diet is called advocare.
 
Well, tell your girlfriend, then. At the least, she should appreciate your "concern" for her mother. At most, it's the right thing to do as a decent human being. ;)

Just try to make sure you put it to her in a way that doesn't come across as overbearing and judgemental.
