Will being anorexic work now that I can lose weight?

When I was around 5 years old I got a tumor on my pituitary that made me gain weight no matter what I ate and no matter how much I exercised. This summer (June) I got the tumor removed. Now I don’t even know how to go about loosing weight. I have always wanted to be anorexic and I used to try. The longest I ever went without eating was 5 days, but, because of the tumor it didn’t work. I would go a few days a week every month with out eating and I was wondering if maybe now that I can lose weight maybe I can try it again. If you don’t think trying not to eat is the best way to go about this please give me some advice. I really need help.

Answer #1

Nope.

It still won’t work.

Whether you have a tumor or not, being anorexic is a fatal psychological condition. Usually, it will make you gain weight, since you stop eating for awhile, become super hungry, and then binge (eat a ton). You end up eating more, and your metabolism slows down, making you gain weight.

The way to lose weight is through healthy diet and exercise. Eat 4-6 SMALL meals a day, consisting of lean meats, whole-grain starches, fruits and vegetables. Set up your plate so 1/4 is meat, 1/4 is starch, 1/2 is fruit and veggies, and there is minimal fat.

If you do this as well as drink 8 glasses of water a day and exercise for 30 min a day a few times a week, you will see healthy results.

Good luck.

Answer #2

When you don’t eat for more than three hours your body goes into starvation mode and begins to store fat already in the body…either way you’ll gain weight.
