Do anorexics gain back weight fast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That is variable: Once metabolic rate has dropped it can allow more rapid weight gain when calories are increased. But many people with anorexia do not have rapid weight gain as they may resist other's attempts to take control over their weight.
