A member asked:
I have an eating disorder and have lost 18 lbs in 2.5 months. is this dangerous?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: I say yes because I do not know your start weight but just the fact that you say you have an eating disorder means that losing this much is not an indication of "healthy" weight loss. Seek counseling so that you can reach a healthy weight in a healthy manner!
