Anorexia Nervosa

Roughly 1 in every 250 women suffers from anorexia, which is a little less than 1%.

the term "anorexia" was very knew at the time, and very few knew it was a condition.

her loved ones knew she was getting thinner and not eating, but they didn't realise 'till it was too late how severe her condition (and that it even was a condition) was.

A bluish tinge will indicate that either a) you have poor circulation (which can indicate heart disease in extreme cases), or b) your body weight/ body fat % is too low. Low body weight + cold = blue nails. Hope I've been of some help =)

That would be a president.

Not really, no.

Is this a serious question? could you imagine a fund raiser for people who are so self important that they feel the need to vomit up a nice meal to look pretty? how could anyone feel sorry for a person like that? I attempted to answer your question with three of my own :)

if u actually starved yourself fo two weeks, yes, its possible and likely your natural cycle would be effected by this. I am not a medical professional.

Anorexia has only been a diagnosed disorder since the late 1800s, but written descriptions of people who might have suffered from anorexia date back to ancient times.

Priest reports state that Catherine of Sienna existed on a diet of next-to-nothing, consiting of only small amounts of fruits and berries.

Ancient Romans practiced habits of starvation and purging after meals, signs of the eating disorders of anorexia and bulimia.

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 website that encourages anorexia (a potentially fatal and life-endangering disease) would not be helping, but would be promoting this dangerous life style.

If the personal trainer is aware of the anorexia in his or her client, and continues to help them lose significant weight, they might be able to be held liable in the way that they are enabling the disorder and might be worsening the condition. If they are unaware of any probelm, then they cannot be help liable.

It depends on the case weather or not if affects the parents and how much it affects them. In most cases though I'd say the person with the disorder suffers far more.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder where a person staves themselves and works out excessively so as not to gain weight. It can cause a multitude of health problems, including heart conditions and / or heart failure.

Heart disease can be caused by a number of things, including genetics, smoking, obesity, lack of exercise, and poor / unhealthy eating habits. There are different forms that can affect different people in different ways.

yes the extra weight you gained is just muscle...

your legs are burning fat and gaining muscle. you'll lose size in your thighs and whatnot, but the "weight" you're gaining is muscle (which weighs much more than fat). try not to judge your body by the number displayed on the scale. try measuring your thighs once a month or something. i promise they'll get smaller, and then they might actually grow in size a little but they will be toned and firm

There are thousands of calories in a pound, so even if you skip a whole weeks calories its difficult to lose too much weight. Additionally, by starving yourself you slow down metabolism and slow the weight loss process more. If you wanna lose more weight, take the time to do diet and exercise and give yourself weeks, not days, to lose pounds.

There are many important things to consider about anorexia. It all depends on what you are trying to focus on. Some crucial or important things to consider in all aspects are....

* Anorexia is both a physical and mental disorder.

* Anorexia is very sensitive to the person.

* Strict or harsh / assertive actions will almost always backfire.

* Anorexics will go to almost any length to lose weight / avoid calories and food.

* Anorexia can cause serious health problems.

* 10% of all anorexia cases are fatal (as a direct result of the disorder).

* Anorexia is often kept secret or hidden for a long time.

* Just because someone is anorexic does not always mean they are severly underweight or skin-and-bones.

You can not "turn" anorexic, it is a disease not a diet. Please don't even try go down that path and involve yourself in anorexic behaviors. It is not worth it. Do you want to be a walking zombie? I'm not even a stick yet but my hair is falling out my teeth are horrible I have no energy bags under my eyes horrible nails and lots of other things and I'm not even at my goal weight yet. I can hardly make it through training. I almost pass it every time. It is not worth it.

You are beautiful just the way you are and don't let anyway tell you otherwise.

(ps throwing up is more of a bulimic behavior.)

In some families, a daughter's eating disorder serves as a distraction from marital discord or other family tensions

First i know you wanted an awnser but i don't no that, but i just thought i would warn you. if you only eat one fruit/veg then that could be dangerous and you could end up in hospital i think if your trying to llosse weight the best bet is to still eat three meals a day, but add vegtables in the meals, and try and eat at leat 5 portions of fruit and veg also doing activites outside like football, rugby, rounders ect that could also help.

Just want to say at 5.5 and 142 pounds you are still within the healthy BMI - just make sure that you eat at least 1500 cal a day and the secret to losing is burning more than you eat - ...

Just do it slowly..

Ok i have another answer because I'm pretty sure you will have heard alot of that 'just eat three balanced meals...' bla bla stuff already. The truth is though that if you starve yourself like that your body will go into starvation mode so when you do eat something your body will take all the fat in that it can just to stop you from dying! And of course then you'll just gain weight and feel terrible and un-energetic.

If you have a problem with your eating you should go to a dietician. They can be really helpful and then you won't have to worry about your weight. :)

Don't starve yourself! Here's a tip, eat slowly... How? Eat all of your food with chopsticks. Budget your food so that you can only finish after fifteen minutes from the time you started your meal. Eat only three times a day, with the food amounting only to two cups per meal. If you're hungry, and it's not yet time to eat, drink protein or fruit shakes, make it at home, and don't put bags of sugar, put only three in one glass. Or better yet, substitute sugar with honey, so that you can have no limits. One more thing, one glass of water before you eat, drink it slowly. Drink water after four bites of food while you're eating. It's more advisable to substitute water with fruit juices, just make it yourself, don't add sugar, just honey. That's that.. And if you ask, I'm not a doctor, thank you very much... You might lose all that weight for about three weeks or so, less if you exercise. But to be honest, I don't like to exercise. All I can say is that I think you don't need to lose the pounds, what is your height? I'm just fifteen, and I'm from the Philippines...

No. It is natural not to want to eat after being called fat, but soon enough the feeling passes. It is important not to care what others say about you, especially when it is negative or rude. Anorexia is when people do not eat much at all for long, extended periods of time and exercise a lot to lose weight. It also involves a complicated and unhealthy relationship with food and many health problems, too.

Not eating sufficiently is a sign of the eating disorder known as anorexia nervosa. It will take a long time to die, per say, as the body will begin to metabolize fat and muscle. But it is very dangerous and unhealthy to do so.
