2		You consider your cousin to be an “exercise freak” and you think she is rather extreme in terms of watching her diet. To be precise, she exercises three hours a day, every day, doing various high-impact sports such as triathlon training, jogging, bungee jumping, as well as lower-impact activities like line dancing; and her diet consists primarily of vegetables and fruits, with some grains, but no meats and little dairy. You've discussed her eating habits with her before and she assures you that she has no food allergies, just believes this is the “normal” way for humans to eat.

What advice can you give her about maintaining her fitness while ensuring the well-being of her child?
