A member asked:
At what rate do anorexics lose weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not healthy: Anorexia is a form of starving the body and should never be looked at as a viable weight loss strategy. It is unhealthy to deprive the body of nutrients and can lead to death. Anorexia requires treatment. Every person with anorexia varies in the speed at which they lose weight but the body will go into preservation mode which may slow down weight loss.
