Can you tell me when does fasting become an anorexic behavior?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most people do not: Fast except for religious observances. If you are fasting, it would lead me to worry about anorexia. Meet with a psychologist who specializes in eating disorders and get a check up with your physician. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
