Being completely anorexic will actually cause the starvation response to kick in, slowing down your progress.

The main reason for fat loss should be for health reasons. People who are anorexic look very thin, unhealthy and thus unattractive. Being anorexic will also cause social problems.
For improved health, improved physical appearance, mental health and social interactions, it is best to approach fat loss in a holistic manner. Do not try to make drastic changes.

Don't try to starve yourself. Start first by adding green vegetables (for example microwave frozen vegetables). Eventually replace all high fat and high sugar foods with lower calorie ones. For example, replace fries with baked potatoes, then with broccoli, etc. If you like candy, take a sweet apple instead. For a sweeter choice try grapes or ripe bananas. These foods may not seem as sweet or delicate at first, but this changes over time, and you will grow to like them much more as they will give you more energy and you will not have a bloated feeling afterward.
Many advocate increasing protein intake. This is fine, but do not go to a high fat high protein diet.

The MAIN key is to make lifestyle changes for the rest of your life. Don't try to speed things along. Eat right, exercise and the good changes will come into your life much sooner than you expect.

How long does it take for people to start looking anorexic if they only eat 300 calories a day?

It may take too long. The body will go into 'starvation mode' where it will hold onto all of the body's fat that it can and the person may die before they see 'anorexic looking' weight loss. The stomach then gets bloated and the person will look very pregnant. The the body will start digesting the muscles, then the intestines, which will kill you if your heart doesn't fail you first. It's not worth it. Lose the weight the way you gained it, gradually.

There are safe ways of loosing weight. They are easier and much healthier and don't involve lying to friends and family. If you are really concerned about your weight, talk to your doctor about a program to help you out. In the long run you will be happier, healthier and feel better than trying to be anorexic.


Will you lose weight if you eat one bacon sandwich and nothing else?

If you only eat that for a certain amount of days, then yes. You will also starve all they long, won't be able to think about anything else but the sound that your starving stomach makes and end up looking like an anorexic. Also, you will quickly gain back that weight once you start eating again.


How many pounds can you lose in a week by being anorexic?

That is very individual and also depends on if you throw up or not, what you eat/drink and how long you have been doing it. The body stops losing weight when it notices nothing comes in. It sets itself to starvation and tries to keep all the fat it has. if you want to lose weight this is not the way. It's a slow way to suicide and along the way you lose your hair, teeth, period among other things.


How long does it take to start burning fat after you start being anorexic?

I'm sorry, but WikiAnswers is meant to be a place where questions are answered that are there to help or educate or assist a person. Suggesting a method of weight loss(of burning fat) through encouraging anorexia (a potentially fatal and life-endangering disease) would not be helping, but would be promoting this dangerous life style.
