How do I get through to my diet obsessed friend?

My friend is in great shape, very lean, but not skinny.
She's obsessed with eating protein, protein, protein and what time of day she eats it. She's not body building or anything, but is a runner (hello? doesn't she need to concentrate on eating carbs?). She doesn't eat breads and limits her pastas. Her reason for doing this is because she thinks she'll get fat if she doesn't. She doesn't have a history of obesity in her family, but does have a history of cancers (various).

I believe in moderation and balance, I eat a lot of fresh veggies and fruits, fish, and I limit meat (red) and dairy as these things are proven (read the medical journals available to you) to cause all sorts of cancers.

She thinks that because she looks terrific on the outside that the inside must be great too. When in reality, in the long run she is really hurting herself.

And lastly, because of her high protein diet, her breath is rancid, wouldn't that be an indicator that the insides aren't all groovin?
