I dont get it! To lose weight some people go aneorix and stay alive, but that one girl just asked if you could die and everyone answered yes. How would you stay alive, with no food for a long time?

Because your body does what is know as canibilizing itself. Which is essentially your body taking nutrition from itself rather than food.

Anorexia causes your system to shut down after time. You can lose your hair, your teeth, your immune system, your organs will start to fail and you die. It is a horrible way to die. There are really healthy ways to diet. You can eat vegetables all day long -- get nutrition and not gain an ounce. Of course, you need other things in your system too but my point is.....starving is not the way. I've been there --- PLUS when you STOP starving, not only do you gain ALL the weight back BUT THEN SOME ON TOP OF IT because your system is screwed up. NOT THE WAY TO GO.

Anorexia is a disease. A mental and emotional and physical starvation of the body. Most anorexia victims will suffer severe physical ailments if left untreated. You might lose weight, but ify ou are anorexia,you will still believe yourself to be fat, and will continue to lose until you literally starve to death. Your organs will shut down toward the end, your kidneys will fail, and you will have a painful death. Best to be at a normal weight and maintain that weight.

They probably meant in the long run you'd die. And I don't think that all anorexics don't eat anything. They probably drink water and black coffee. Anorexia isn't totally starving yourself, I think usually they'd eat like an apple, then nothing else the rest of the day or something like that.

Your body would live off your stored fat. After the fat was gone, your body would start to feed off your organs.
