To even be considered anorexic, one must have a BMI of less than 18. Once your BMI is that low, it it hard to drop weight as quickly as someone at a normal or overweight BMI. There are many other types of EDs, though, which can make you both loose or gain weight very quickly.

It completely depends on the individual. I know of people diagnosed with AN who have lost weight relatively slowly over a long period of time, and others who have dropped significant amounts of weight in a very short space of time. I myself have experienced many different rates of weight loss at different stages of my illness, dependant on many different factors, including metabolism, intake, mental health, medication etc.

∙ 14y agoAnorexia in general is a very unhealthy way to lose weight, for your body and mental health and it messes up your metabolism. That said: Most people with anorexia do manage to lose weight because they have a very high goal. If you have a goal to lose 5 pounds you will probably lost 3. Where as if you have a goal to lose 25 you have lose 15. People with anorexia see even a healthy skinny as fat so they are going to end up continuing to push themselves until they are unhealthily skinny. So my advice, don't totally give up food. but eat some lettuce and celery and grapefruit, spinach and beans as they all help burn calories when you eat them. So your metabolism stays up and you will burn more weight off. Okay good luck. Try not to be unhealthy, but you will be hungry. so don't binge or all is for naught.

∙ 13y agoAn anorexic will nto put on weight any faster than a regular person would. It may seem that they gain weight faster, but that is only due to the fact that their body is in a pattern of starvation, so it will try to store any extra food that it can. As soon as a healthy state is reached, weight gain will continue as it would normally for a person.

Varies from person to person.
Can fat people be anorexic I am 13 5 2' and 170 pounds...?
They can be bulimic but not anorexic. Actually, a person can certainly be mentally anorexic regardless of their weight. I believe that weight or BMI should not be so important when diagnosing anorexia. Anyone can be psychologically anorexic.
