Answer 1

Go to the library and read up on anorexia nervosa and bulemia. It is not about eating it is about feeling that your life is out of your control and that food is the only thing that you can control.

Answer 2

Don't starve yourself!! That wont help you at all. You might lose weight very fast by not eating, but once you start eating again you gain it all back. This happens because when you don't eat your metabolism slows down and your body burns fat stored in your body to get the necessary energy. But when you start eating again your body cannot burn all the food eaten because the metabolism is too slow so it starts storing everything all over again. Basically, you get back to your original weight.

What you need to do is exercise for atleast an hour everyday and eat healthy food. Exercising is definitely the best way to lose weight. Swimming is the best way to lose weight as it does not harm your joints and bones as much as other sports. Tennis is also a good option since it is one of the most rigorous sports. But for starters just stick to jogging and crunches to build up stamina for tough sports.

Most importantly, drink lots of water because it does wonders for your body.

Another way of losing weight is increasing your metabolism. You don't have to eat 3 large meals a day. Eat 4-6 small meals a day at regular intervals. But you HAVE to eat.

Answer 3

I know you wanted REAL doctors advice here...but I know from personal experience that I use to eat like crazy too(but I only weighted as much as 160-because I am a sports person) but I don't feel like eating a lot of times and I don't get sick...I have been like this since I was 6...sometimes I'm just not hungry....so I know where you're coming from.

Answer 4

you do yourself a disservice by not eating. Try small healthy snacks, like slice a half an apple and eat it, or a handful of grapes. Make sure you eat in the morning especially to fuel your body. I am thinking that you are probably depressed and that is affecting your appetite, but you could also be in the early stages of diabetes. I would suggest you see your doctor for a check up.

Answer 5

this is no longer purely energy you get with nutrients yet in addition significant nutrients,supplementations and electrolytes. you somewhat could eat, Dry lips is an illustration of diet deficiency and dehydration.unexpected loss of urge for nutrients would be indication of a extra extreme subject that desires prompt interest. in case you chosen to no longer eat, this is no longer solid the two because of the fact when you come back to a decision to start back (and that i'm hoping you do quickly for the above pronounced motives) you will income each and all of the burden you lost. Get a scientific verify as much as make useful no longer something incorrect is going on and in case you come back to a decision you prefer to unfastened wt, accomplish that slowly and sensibly solid success

Answer 6

UMM YES you will get sick if you do not eat!!!!!! I am surprised you already aren't sick and fatigued!

You have to eat to live, food is your body and minds gasoline! Its just like if you have a car, can it run without gas..NO so neither can your body, not normally anyways.

Eat--you will get sick if you do not. Eat small meals throughout the day, or 2 big meals. It doesn't matter if you don't WANT to, you HAVE to or u will regret it when you are in the hospital!
