A member asked:
Is there a preferred way to have a fast metabolism while anorexic?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
There is no: "fast metabolism" unless you have a thyroid problem. That's an inaccurate lay term, not a medical definition. If you are anorexic, you need medical and/or psychological help. See your doctors. Losing weight improves your metabolism, but only through proper diet and exercise, not anorexia.
