If you're 250lbs and you suddenly become anorexic, would you start losing weight?

Question

Or would you just be puking?

Answer 1

You will lose weight after some time...possible a month or so and then stop. If you eat anything...that will get stored as fat.  

Answer 2

you're kidding right??

Answer 3

I assume you mean bulimia. But either way, yes you would, but it's not healthy at all.

Your body needs nutrients to function and when you don't give it those nutrients it messes everything up and you could end up in a hospital.

If you want to lose weight, I suggest taking up a sport, exercising (running's the easiest probably), cutting back on the amount of food if you eat a lot(not a lot but look around and try to figure out a healthy diet with all the necessary nutrients), and/or just eating healthier.

Answer 4

you would lose weight. maybe be puking and losing weight.

then your body would go into starvation mode and slow down as short as 48 hours into it, and hold on to your fat and eat its own muscle. the more muscle lost the more fat you will gain, the more your metabolism slows, so that when you do eat again to live you will gain sooooo much faster then ever before. and your heart will begin to suffer along with your other organs from lack of nutrients. hair will begin to fall out. you will probably get anemic. and your skin will sag from the dramatic weight loss and youll be full of stretch marks by the time you lose to your goal. OR you can just eat less and check out whats right for your body using a BMR calculator online, lose healthy and slow at a rate of 2lbs a week and workout 3 times a week 20 minutes to start ;)

Answer 5

yes you would lose some but your body would try to store as much as possible too . plz dont try starving as a quick fix - i did and i took diet pills and everything and i got so much fatter at the end of it . not to mention stomach ache whenever i eat these days x

Answer 6

uhm well i suggest you eat. My mother has been through that and passed out and had to be rushed to the ER and she had a panic attack and let me tell you you dont want that i suggest a better way to loose weight...Exercise, limit your eating, and be active! Atleast exercise 15 minutes a day and every once a week reward yourself with a tastey treat! I hope i have helped :)

Answer 7

yes but.. it would be extremely difficult and painful for your body to start eating again and you may end up gaining more weight in the end, or become extremely sick. stick with exercise.

Answer 8

you would probaly seriously mess

your self up BAD thats not a good idea.

Answer 9

You're joking, right?

Anorexia is not a toy you can just pick up and put down when you don't need it. It's pure h**l--any eating disorder you mess with is pure h**l. You may find it appealing--to get that  quick weight loss and that body you want. But in reality, once you have dealt with it first hand, you would want it the h**l out of your life forever but by than it's too late.

You'll be counting calories all day long and at night, you'll fall asleep planning out your meals for the next day calculating all its calories. You'll soon have memorized the calories in every food and how much of what you need to do to burn them off and more. You'll become more stressed, angry, frustrated, and depressed. And if you want to add in vomiting, you'll soon become addicted to that as well. Even if you eat something small and light, you'll automatically have the biggest need to throw it all back up and right after, you'll step on that goddamn scale to make sure you haven't gained half a pound more than you were earlier in the day. If you have, you'll force yourself to vomit more and end up passing out of vomiting blood. After that, you'll be so tired and cranky as h**l and to add on to that, why not add deteriorating teeth, horrible stomach cramps and the occasional heart arrhythmia, which you can acquire even if you vomit once deliberately.  Oh, don't forget the extra bonus that comes with eating disorders--you won't think about anything but food. I assure you everything I have typed above and more.  

Answer 10

Anorectics don't puke, unless they are also bulimic.  Eating off the enamel of your teeth and rupturing your esophagus is not the way to lose weight.  Try eating a low fat, low calorie, whole wheat fruit and veggie and lean protein diet.  It's hard at first, but it gets easier, and there are actually plenty of yummy foods that are also good for you.

Answer 11

It will take a while. First your body goes into starvation mode which means it basically eats itself and the nutrients from your organs in order to keep your heart and brain functioning. Then your organs fail. Before you get to this point, you'll have damage to your esophagus from throwing up. You'll be incredibly weak without enough energy to function or even go to the bathroom on your own. After your organs fail one by one, then your heart and brain will fail. But you'll be in the hospital way before that.

Whether you are skinny when you're dying...I don't know. Maybe.

Before you go the eating disorder route, talk to your doctor and a nutritionist. They can do an overall physical on you and see how your hormones, metabolism and thyroid are working. Then they can tailor a diet and exercise program for your needs only.

It's alot better than dying...don't you think?

Answer 14

You would probably die before you got to a normal weight. Because you can be anorexic and still be overweight. The best way to lose weight is to be totally healthy. Eat tons of fruit, vegetables, fish, lean meat and a little bit of brown rice and  organic whole grains.
