How many days do you have to starve to be anorexic?
Thats not really how anorexia works, you have to be below a healthy BMI of 19 or so starving yourself is a sign but not what defines it.A BMI of 18.5 would make a doctor concerned and a BMI of 17.5 is often only seen in those who are anorexic. The length of days you starve yourself for does not make you anorexic, however being afraid of weight gain ,purging(throwing up after meals) obsessive calorie counting and weighing of food as well as obsessing over ones weight and imagined fatness are signs of anorexia and weather or not you fit into the categorie of a low BMI or not you should seek help immediately, as the sooner you seek help the easier it will be to deal with.I know from experience that reading this you’re probably thinking something along the lines of ‘ yeah whatever I’m just trying to get skinny’, or something like that because that’s what i thought/am trying not to think when i read advice like this.I’m not going to say i know exactly what you’re going through because thats bull shit. Anorexia does different things to everyone,but the outcomes of losing weight this fast and especially by fasting are not good.You might get skinny fast but the outcomes are things like ceased menstruation (female) osteoporosis (female) heart failure/damage to the cardiac muscle,muscle atrophy,extreme tiredness,exhaustion in general,low blood pressure,dizziness,constipation,bloating, bad breath as your body begins to digest parts of itself that it shouldn’t (don’t kid yourself that its fat its not.)organ failure and dehydration (no water from food as well as water =dehydrated) constant cold,growth of tiny fine hairs all over the body (trying to shave them off ends badly don’t try it.) depression and eventually death.So please if you think your anorexic talk to a phsych or your GP and if you still want to lose weight do it safely by speaking to a dietician. Anorexia is a serious condition its not something you can get by starving yourself,If you wish you had an eating disorder you probably have a baby one already,my advice is kill it before it gets worse food is delicious and your beautiful (or handsome) whatever shape you are naturally <3*pls excuse the long answer and appauling spelling ( i did my best)
How long does it take to get thin if you starve yourself?
Please don't tell me not to do it or anything because I'm not going to. I am just curious about it because I have a friend that wants to do it. I keep telling her not to though. Please just serious answers. Don't tell me something like "tell her not to do it" because I did. I just want to know how long it takes to get thin if you starve yourself.
How can I starve myself without getting hungry?
Easy answer - Keep busy!If you are sitting around, all you will think about is food.If you are near food or smell food, you’ll think about food.If you see food, fruit or snacks laying around, you’ll think about food.If you are starving yourself for a reason, remember the reason and / or the goal.In 1979, I fasted (water only) for a week on a bet. I won a free dinner, but thought that a real challenge would be to fast for 30 days. Over the next 35 years, I would try, but quit after 1 - 15 days for one reason or another. In 2014, I decided to try one last time and either succeed or forget it and never try again. Long story short, I did it. I felt so good I decided to go another week. On the 31st day I started feeling tired and week. I only made finished 33 days before I quit. I was committed to 30 days, but feel that if 40 days had been my goal I would have made it. Once I completed 30 days, I wasn’t 100% driven any more.Some serious advice I would give:If you do not have extra weight you can afford to lose, don’t try it.If you are not healthy, don’t try it.If you are on meds, don’t try it.Being a little tired, extra sleepy, or weak is okay, but only a little.If you faint, blackout, see spots, or hallucinate, stop immediately.Don’t expect to be your normal, easy going, nice person. You are very likely to get annoyed and pissed off very easily - especially with people who don’t believe you or tell you they don’t think you can do it.Don’t skip drinking water. I read you can go 40 - 70 days without food, but only 7 without water.Don’t weigh yourself too often. Weight loss is fast in the beginning, then it slows down, and finally it seems to stop (maybe it doesn’t, but it seems to and its discouraging).The weight loss is temporary. Expect to gain all the weight back very quickly, and probably more.Remember, its not healthy or smart to starve yourself, actually its stupid, so you should have a really good reason to try it.For me fasting was a personal challenge to see what I could do, but I do a lot of stupid things to test myself and know what I can do. I tell people I don’t have a bucket list because I’ve done pretty much everything I would have put on it. Most I would never do again (snake charming a cobra still gives me nightmares). But I’m crazy, not smart (even though I’m a Mensan).Hope this answer helps.
How long do you have to starve to be anorexic?
Anorexia is a complex psychiatric condition. Food restriction is but one of many symtpoms of this horrific disorder. It is not a volitionally acquired behavior that one "stops" after a week. "Trying not to eat for a week" is a foolish crash diet, not anorexia nervosa. Unfortunately for your friend, this sort of crash diet is ultimately doomed to fail. Although she may drop a few pounds the first few days, she will likely gain it back (and then some) when she resumes her regular eating habits.
