How do anorexics lose so much weight so fast?
Well it depends. There are anorexics who barely eat anything. So if someone consumes under 300 calories a day that's a deficit of 1700 calories a day = -11900 calories a week. Even if their body's metabolism slows to a snails pace, the body NEEDS food to survive and ends up using up stored fat anyways. When people's weight is in the healthy range and they starve themselves on occasion to try to lose weight, this is when it doesn't work because the metabolism is so slow when they eat normally again they gain weight. Both ways of looking at diet are extremely unhealthy and disordered. I'm SUPER PROUD that you are in recovery :) Food is awesome!
How do anorexics lose so much weight so fast?
I was aneroxic when i was 15 and i straved myself for a month and lost a bunch or weight about 30 pounds, this usually doesn't happen, but i wouldn't eat anything and if i did i threw up, i was playing 3 different sprots, so i was always over excerzing, i don't know how i was able but i lost alot of weight to where my doctor told me that i needed to eat, i kept the weight off for a long time, but i had to conuntie to strave, once i started to eat again, yes i gained weight, but not alot becasue i still suffered from eating dirorder.......straving is not the way to go, it starts a very bad cycle, which i am still dealing with 6 years later

How did Emile Hirsch lose so much weight for his role in "Into the Wild"?
I heard that Chris McCandless weighed somewhere around 67-70 lbs. at the end of his journey... Did Emile really lose as much weight as it looked like, or was there some editing involved?
