A member asked:
I was released from a hospital in july for anorexia and i'm trying to lose weight again. is it possible to still lose weight by not eating?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Psychiatrist: I'm concerned that you were hospitalized because of anorexia and you want to lose weight again. You must consult your therapist who will guide you along with a dietician. It is dangerous to stop eating in order to lose weight.
