Wow, this is really a tough situation to approach. I guess the only advice I would have to say is that you don't want her to feel like her wanting to be thinner is wrong, just that her goal is a bit extreme. When you talk to her (if), you really should try to emphasize that you are first and foremost worried about her health and that if she wants to diet that she should do it properly. Maybe offer some alternatives to this website (ie Weight Watchers?) and give her some other researched methods that way she knows you're not attacking her but more looking out for her. You want her to feel like she can be open and honest with you and if you start with the "those websites are so bad, I love you as you are" and whatnot, she'll probably feel like you're attacking her and her decisions, even though it's clearly not the case.
I know that Weight Watchers is the only FDA approved diet method out there. You don't have to buy into the whole program, but they do have some books you can pick up, etc. It might be more her thing. Maybe check around and see if you can talk with a dietician or someone about better foods to incorporate, etc etc? Just some places to start off so you have some suggestions that she would be safer using, cause you know she probably won't quit.
