skinny only means small in circumference, there is no correlation with being skinny and healthy. skinny is not the same as being lean (low body fat). there are tons of skinny people with high body fat percentages, like most anorexics.

When the body can't find any food anywhere it starts using the stored fat for fuel. You can find some good information by going to your search engine and typing in "anorexia what is it" you'll find alot of info and more.

because they've forced their bodies to use up the little fat it was trying to save, just to keep them alive. You're right, their bodies are in starvation mode, and are trying to hold onto everything they get, but they don't get enough.

Your body starts using its own tissue to survive.
