Even for you that's a worthless response. "Anything" isn't possible
even if she was stressing her body in a "very un-natural" way, which
she isn't. To a sedentary American, running 10km a day probably seems
utterly unnatural, but in the environment early humans lived (and some
Africans do today), running or walking for much of the day would have
been the norm.

The numbers you hear about all the time are just based on
statistics derived mostly from studying "normal" people.

As opposed to what? Crackpot theories based on a sample size of one
individual? Do you even understand how the numbers are generated in
statistical analysis?

Most likely,

How are you assessing this level of probability?

her body is trying to compensate for this kind of unusual stress. Her
low fat diet might protect her from dangerous unsaturated fatty
acids. But is she getting a lot of oxidized cholesterol in her diet?

How could you get lots of cholesterol on a low-fat diet, when
cholesterol is a fat?

Is she getting enough high-quality protein? Does she eat things like
tofu in large amounts (I strongly advise against it)?

Tofu's a quite high quality protein. Way to contradict yourself.
