Eating Disorders

Oh, my friend, it's important to remember that struggling with an eating disorder can be a difficult challenge for many individuals. While I don't have an exact number for you, what truly matters is that anyone facing these battles deserves support, understanding, and kindness. Let's focus on spreading love and compassion to those in need, helping them see their inner beauty and strength.

Anorexia has many disadvantages, many of which are as a result of the disorder. Some are...

*Weight loss, protrufing bones

*Hair loss

*Discolored nails

*Dry, flaky skin

*Pale skin color

*Weakness, fatigue

*Dizziness, fainting

*Depression

*OCD

*BDD (Body Dismorphic Disorder)

*Heart murmur

*Lack / Shortened attention span

*Constant fidgeting

*Minimal food intake

*Odd food habits

*Dressing in layers

*Mood swings

*Behavioral changes

*Low self-esteem, low body-image

*Constant, excessive exercising

*Defensive about weight / food

*Purging, laxative abuse

*Organ malfunction, failure

*Breathing difficulties

*Feeling cold (often when others are not), increased risk of hypothermia

*Loss of menstrual cycle (in women)

*Lack of sex drive (in men)

*Heart problems, malfunction, failure

*Isolation

It varries, and depends heavily on the individual. For some, dangerous side effects can spring up right away, especially if they take drastic or extreme measures right off the bat. For many, it can take a few months or years for the problems to really begin to manifest themselves. In some cases, there are hardly any dangerous or deadly symptoms or signs that occur.

you die, then your penis/vagina will disintergrate.. but as your bladder has magical powers you will pee for the rest of eternity MWAHHAHAHAHA |

FUNNY. but no,

you will die within like a week to 2 weeks.

you will have NO energy

you will be very dizzy ALL the time

and you will hate it and think people who are anorexic are freakin crazy!!

This is the worst information site! Most of the q's aren't answered!

There are doubtless many examples, but dolphins and koalas are reported to obtain all their water requirements from their food.

Eating toilet paper in small amounts is okay.

If you eat a lot of it though, it can cause internal blockage. Then, you have to undergo emergency surgery. If the surgery fails, it is fatal.

An eating disorder is a condition that makes people eat more, less, or throw up after eating. An eating disorder is a compulsion to eat, or avoid eating, that negatively affects both one's physical and mental health. Eating disorders are all encompassing. They affect every part of the person's life. An eating disorder is a compulsion to eat, or avoid eating, that negatively affects both one's physical and mental health.

Starvation starts to shut down organs. Our body is all one, food and water is like the fuel. You stop giving the body fuel, it starts to shut down organs to make up for lost fuel. Starvation is one of the dealiest things today.

People with an eating disorder spend all of their time thinking about food and their weight. They do not socialize. They do not develop their social skills or learn how to deal with the opposite gender. They get off into a corner by themselves and they do not develop. All they have left is the eating disorder.

The amount of recommended calories per day varies depending on age, gender, height, weight, and level of activity. According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines, the daily calorie intake for adult women should be between 1,600 and 2,400, depending on level of activity. For adult men it ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 a day.

The more active you are, the more calories are needed per day.

Trust Me Hunni, Fasting is not the way to go. Doing 30-60 Minutes of excersize every day will make you lose 1-2(half a kilgram - a kilgram) pounds a week depending on whether the activity is moderate or vigourous, etc. I know for a fact that if you starve yourself you just look bony and disgusting and if you actually work out you'll look hot because you're really toned you can see abs!! :P Wait for the results. Its worth it.

When you have anorexia, your goal is to keep off weight or keep losing it regardless of how skinny you become. In hopes of losing weight you will lose muscle mass and fat. So if an individual suffers from bulimia, they will have acidic erosion of their esophagus.

You are eating to little. Your body will go into a starvation mode. It will store all of the calories you take in BUT, it will burn them. When you eat nothing your body takes calories from your fat, your muscles, and if you let is go on long enough (in the case of anorexics) your organs. If you eat only 500 calories a day you will loose weight. That is very few calories though, and will decrease your health and energy levels (eventually).

Hi, Obviously this isn't healthy, however you asked the question so you probably already know this and do not wish for that type of answer. If you would like to lose weight the healthy way, obviously you would not have asked this question, so I will not advise you on that.

That being said, I have on several occasions used this type of low calorie diet tio get to my target weight, usually when I lose patience with the 1lb a week. I think eating 500 calories a day, you will first of all drop 2-3lbs water weight, an d probably lose around 2-4lbs a week, depending on your current weight, maybe more. If you are a normal weight I would guess you may lose 3lbs of fat a week.

A tip I would give anyone considering this diet, is, that its not easy,so you just need to keep telling yourdself why you are doing it, I fill up on diet coke when partici[pating in this type of low calorie diet.

My best advice though, would be do it the healthy way, 1200-1500 calories a day, and cardio 3 times a week.

This is hard to answer without more information. Firstly, your period should start a few days after you start the placebos--it won't be the second you stop taking the active pills. It may be that it just hasn't happened yet.

If that's not the case, it could be caused by a number of things. The estrogen level in the pill may be too low for you, or it may simply be that your body hasn't yet adjusted to the new hormone levels, if you just started taking BC. There is the possibility of pregnancy, so you should take a pregnancy test before starting the next active pills to be certain, but the probability for this is quite low if you've been taking them correctly. It could also be related to stress, illness, activity level, or diet, and have nothing directly to do with the pill at all.

To be safe and to ease your mind, take a pregnancy test, and see your doctor if you're worried. Skipping one month is not usually a big deal, but if you skip more than once, be sure to see your doctor and talk to him or her about changing your prescription to something that works better for you.

If you starve yourself your body will release hormones that will minimize the breakdown of fat for energy. The body will turn on itself and start breaking down muscle tissue for energy. This is a definite downside to starvation diets. When these types of diets are followed for a long time, even the weight of the heart, which is a muscle, decreases. This can cause heart attacks.

Roughly 1 in 200 people suffers from Bulimia.

About 1 in every 250 people suffers from Anorexia.

An estimated 1 in 9, or about 11%, or people suffer from some form of disordered eating habit.

Depression. One out of every five women will have experienced a significant depressive episode in their lifetimes. One out of eight to ten men will have experienced this also.

Simple phobias (spiders, snakes, heights, etc.) are more common, but can be avoided, fairly easily, in most circumstances. Therefore, they are not considered to be nearly as disabling.

A malnourished person is usually very thin (although there are certainly cases of people who aren't thin, but still have nutritional deficiencies) and such a person may have any number of nutritional deficiency diseases. A person with a vitamin D deficiency can have a disease called rickets, which results in malformed bones. A vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, which has many symptoms including bleeding gums. Vitamin B deficiencies cause beri-beri. Iron deficiencies cause anemia. Iodine deficiencies cause goiter (enlarged thyroid gland) etc.

I overcame anorexia about 1 years ago. At the time I saw many people including dietitions, phsycologists, doctors, and school counselors. We would never discuss calories. But I was basically supposed to eat what you see on the Food Pyramid. Fruits, vegtables, grains, dairy, and meat. I also had to take a woman's multivitamin every day along with extra calcium tablets. I was very low on phosphorus, a necessary nutrient for anyone's body, and had to take 4 prescribed phosphorus pills a day.

You don't. If you have bulimia you need to get help. You need to tell your doctor. Bulimia can kill you. It can cause tooth loss, skin disorders, esophagus and stomach damage, it can damage your heart, your liver, your kidneys. Please get help before it is too late.

For hiding from a dentist, don't brush your teeth after throwing up, as it will cause more damage to the teeth. It's just like how you shouldn't brush teeth after drinking cola or something sour, only acids from the stomach make a lot more damage to the teeth. So clean mouth with water instead. Also, I've heard that baking soda should help.

Don't eat too much food before vomiting, it cause more damage. And if a dentist asks you about it, just say no. Don't try to explain too much.

Although it's better to get help.

I've been on seroquel 100mg for the past two years and have recently decided to change to Zeldox/Geodon after gradually putting on 9kg. My Psychiatrist tells me that most people lose the weight they put on (depending on how much) quite quickly after stopping seroquel, and for the amount I put on it should take weeks rather than months. I cant really say what the case would be if someone was on a very high dose and/or put on large amount of weight, but hope that helps :)

It depends on your current weight and daily caloric intake. Some people could lose up to ten pounds if their intake is high and they completely avoid any calories for two days. However, doing so is not healthy at all. It depends on your size, muscle tone and exercise level. If you're out of shape, you won't loose much, you'd be better to go low fat/low carb and high protein high fiber with a good exercise program.

If there is no food in the stomach, then noting will be able to be thrown up. The person will either dry heave (make attempts to throw up, with no results), or begin to vomit bile, stomach / gastic juices, or blood.
