Is It Normal To Starve Oneself For Days To Lose Weight?

My girlfriend has been starving her self for over a year now, she is about 94lbs 5 10 she has lost all body mass and says she is happy with her body the way it is, I would love to help her be able to gain some weight but she won t eat, often only once or twice a week and very little at that, like a small salad and thats it.
