A member asked:
Can non-eating from depression damaged my potential to lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is possible: If your body goes into starvation mode- then your metabolic rate will eventually drop. This means that you will burn calories more slowly and put on weight more easily. That is one reason it is important to keep eating - even if you have to force yourself. Take care.
