How much do anorexics lose in one month?

Answer 1

It depends how long they have been anorexic. If a normal person decides not to eat all of a sudden, they may lose 20 lbs in a month. If one has been anorexic for a while, their body is in starvation mode and is conserving as many calories as possible, so they are losing weight at a slower rate. Some anorexics exercise obsessively, which will cause the weight loss to increase slightly to moderately.

Answer 2

DON'T STARVE YOURSELF!!! I am a recovering anorexic and I have done plenty of damage to my body and I don't want anyone to have to go through what I have gone through. I have had to get two of my teeth crowned over which costs $1,000.00 each, as well as my bones did not grow properly. I also have bowel problems and bouts with depression. Do you want to go through that? Eat healthy and exercise.

Answer 3

Answer 4

Not only is this a hideous question but you shouldn't even be contemplating this. Eating disorders are serious and, even if you were just curious, some teenage girl might look this up and think it is a good idea, because others find it okay too. Honestly you would feel like crap no matter how much weight you lost, and you would be tired and unable to do anything. Whatever goal weight you try to loose..... just work out.

Answer 5

This depends on how "severe" or "dteretmined" they are. If they are only limiting some foods and adding a little extra exercise, it could be as small as a pound or so, maybe three. If they are truly not eating almost anything at all and are working out for hours everyday, all month long, they can lose ten pounds, possibly more due to some other factors (their natural metabolism, fat amounts ot begin with, any muscle mass gained, and many other.) More variations along with other factors, like bulimea, water retention, and so on can cause variations of maybe even 5 pounds to some.

ummm...you're a little low, there....10 pounds in a month? I've lost 16 pounds in a week. But you are right, it all depends on the severity of the case... In other times when I had relapses I've lost 27 pounds within maybe 2 months...that was on a diet of no breakfast, a dr. pepper for lunch and then a small portion of whatever the rents made for supper. Another time I lost 19 pounds in less than a month....that was baisically on a diet of maybe breakfast one day...maybe lunch another...and then maybe dinner the next...but never more than 1 meal a day. The meals were always small, and most were in good sense. Like maybe a salad, or a couple sticks of celery or carrots. And some days I chose to only eat one lunchable for the day...And some days I wouldn't eat anything at all. But always always ALWAYS drink TONS of water!!..So it really does just vary. I also didn't exercise much. I'm not big into exercising. I might do muscle building stuff like push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, and lunges...but my meds already mess up my heart enough. What I do to my body just makes it worse...and lord, I think I would keel over if I did cardio.

Answer 6

It depends on the individual. Some may lose drastic amounts of weight (30 or 40 lbs), while most will lose between 5 and 15 lbs.
