Answer 4

Extremely negatively. Anorexia has all sorts of very unpleasant side effects. The most obvious one is that an anorexic person is slowly killing themselves. If your body does not get the nutrients it needs, then you die.
It will eat away at your organs, and you will get deathly pale and your eyes will begin to sink back.
Also, not nearly as important, but anorexia doesn't make someone look attractive, if they were overweight, anorexia may make you appear thin, but you will be flimsy and still have love handles and such, because only a healthy diet and exercise will get rid of those. It is very easy to spot an anorexic person because they look abnormally thin but yet still have skin and little pockets of fat hanging out that no amount of not eating will ever get rid of.
There is nothing good about anorexia. I stress very strongly to get help if you are anorexic, and get your friends help if they are anorexic. Because anorexic people have a psychological problem that makes them slowly and painfully waste their body away to nothing.

Answer 6

well anorexia affects the body because its a problems that people have mostly girls by the age of 12-16 because they want to become AA model but they are afraid to be called fat. Let me tell you that many people also die of starvation because of anorexia its very sad. Whenever anorexic people look in the mirror and there weight is 50 LBS they seem fat and keep on until they die or until they feel very sick and must be taken to the hospital. also i bet you have heard of Bulimia a close sickness but you eat also girls do that they force them selfs to puke at the end of every food many girls also die of it.Now

hope it helps with your question XD

Answer 7

You will lose all of your muscle mass and weight in general.Depending on how much you eat and drink a day.l'm anorexic so all i do is workout and drink ice water.i lost 34lbs in 2 months & my bones are out and i dropped 3 jean sizes! But when l saw my cardiologist and i saw my heart.... and all my organs which shrunk MAJOR! and so did my heart. not im trying to change even though l'm not working out now, l'm still dropping weight while i'm eating because my metabolism is speeding up..

~Your bones stick out

~You feel tired all the time

~Your neevr hungry

~Your ALWAYS on the scale or using a measuring tape

~Your scared to eat calories and carbs.

~Your moods change

~Metabolism speeds up

~If you workout constantly,you will only wanna do that.

~You see a gap between your thighs

~ You drop weight in a short amount of time

l hope this helped! Since i am a teenage girl who has all those ^ from my phase of anorexia.
