Dear Oscar
I can unfortunately not respond to individual Readers by e-mail. My comments on the cases are as follows:
Case 1: Encourage her to cut down on sugar and to make sure that she eats unrefined carbs. She should restrict her alcohol intake to 1 drink a day and not every day either. Smoking should be stopped.
Case 2: Should stick to healthy foods, not overdo supplements, banish steroids and reduce alcohol intake to 2 drinks at any given session - not every day either.
Case 3: Needs expert help from a dietitian and clinical psychologist to prevent eating disorder.

Good luck with your project
