How many pounds??????

Question

sorry to ask this again but how many pounds does the average anorexic loose per a week I'm not going to be anorexic I'm just curious

Answer 1

oh come on.. they wouldn't make you know that for school!

you'd actually have to talk to someone who has been through that.

Answer 2

It's however many calories you burn per day (depends on size, metabolism, weight, gender) (I burn about 3000 a day at rest) minus the amount that you eat, divided by 2500. So If I didn't eat at all for 1 week, I would burn 21,000 calories and lose 21,000/2,500=8.4 lbs. For a small person, the loss would obviously be lower.

This weekly number would also decrease very quickly, because your body adjusts to the lack of calories by slowing your metabolism. After a week of not eating for example, I might only be burning 1000 calories per day or less, and this number would continue to decrease as my body went into survival mode.

That being said, this is a really unhealthy way to lose weight. A healthy goal with a good diet and exercise is about 1lb a week! Doesn't seem like much, but if you stay regimented for 3 months, that's 15 pounds or maybe even a bit more and a big difference if how you feel!

Answer 3
