you shoul;dn't do anything unless they express that they're unhappy with how they are. if they never say that they want to change then don't make them want to change...but if they do- then just find more active things for them to do when they're with you and set a good example by eating good but delicious foods when around them. share interesting weight loss tips and such.

Maybe try to start a trend and rave about how much you liked these low-fat foods. Or, start bringing fruits & veggies to lunch (if u take cold lunch) and tell your friends about how you like what your eating and how good it is for you. Maybe your friends will try it , and actually like it! I hope I helped. Good Luck
