My sister has been "water fasting" for a week. she ate a lot during the previous week&weighs 100 pounds ever since. what would be the effects on her?

Malnourishment: What you are describing is possibly a pattern of an eating disorder. It is very important that she gets evaluated since this type of drastic food depravation can lead to all sorts of complications like anemia, electrolyte abnormalities which could be potentially dangerous for her well being. Try to advise her to seek medical care as soon as possible.
