At first, you will lose about ten to fifteen pounds. But that is just water weight, and as soon as you are eating and drinking normally it will come right back. If you are not eating for a while, like more than a week or so, you will stop losing for a while. Your body is trying to preserve all of its fat and calories, because it thinks it is starving to death. After about a month, you will start to lose pretty quick again, but not in a healthy way. Your body will look for nutrients and if it is not getting them from your mouth, it will find them in your body. Your body will feed off of your muscle tissues and organs before it uses the fat stores. That's why most anorexics die of cardiac arrest.

Technically , you do lose weight. However the intial weight loss will mostly be water. If you stop eating, you'll begin to lose muscle mass first then fat. That's because muscle is easier for the body to use as energy rather than fat.

You lose weight when you don't eat, but when you start again you gain. It's best to just eat good foods and then you'll also lose. Limit these foods, these are the ones that make you gain, if you just eat these foods 1-2 times a week you'll lose weight, and also cut your portions in half. cheeses, sodas, fast foods, fried foods, sweet treats.

They lose it quickly.....I know somebody who didn't eat anything and would lose 1/2 an inch around her waste (or waist?) in one day....its very sad.

And they aren't dumb. Anorexia is triggered by depression which can be caused by dramatic experiences or unbalanced hormones. Its something that they can't help, its a mental thing.

its not a good idea to stop eating because at 1st ull burn off the fat but eventually youll need 2 eat something again and when u do ull store it all as fat..as an effect of starvation

You stay the same size for months, then you lose weight and die.
