Anorexia is not the state of being dangerously slim. It is the state of irrationally wanting to avoid food in order to be slim. It's a personality disorder that hasn't actually got much to do with how fat or not you are and much more to do with how fat you don't want to be. It usually leads to being dangerously slim but that itself is not called anorexia, it's called starvation.
In that case, I think you may yourself already have this problem if you are not just asking this for the sake of education. If you're wondering why I haven't given you an answer to the first part of the question, it's because it differs depending on how much you weigh when you start fasting and how quickly your metabolism reacts. Wikipedia says that the average anorexic person consumes 800 calories a day but there are several documented cases of people fasting for 30 days or more on just water (see Olivia Cohen, David Blaine etc). The heath effects are dramatic and lasting, and many many months or years after the subject may still be overeating to compensate for a greatly increased appetite from excess gall and ghrelin (digestion acids that trigger hunger) in their system and nutrient losses.
