Does anorexia make you gain weight if you stop?

If YOUR anorexic you need to eat. Don’t worry about any weight gain just eat. If you dont get out of that situation fast, it could kill you. And yes, it all depends on your eating habits. But you need to gain the weight back first. Then you can work out, jogging, swimming, step arrobics to help with losing the weight, not eating is never the answer :]

Acually no. When you “go anorexic” your body sends signals to your brain that tell you that you are in a famine period, which then slows down the process of losing weight or fat cells. This happens because your body is trying to hold onto every single fat cell it can to help you live. If it weren’t for this natural cycle, people who were stranded in desserts etc would not live for more than 3 days. ANOREXIA IS NOT GOOD, AND IT IS CURTAINLY NOT ANYTHING TO BE PROUD OF EITHER.

It all depends on the individuals choice of food and eating habits.

I had anorexia a long time ago, it does ruin your metabolism. Usually you dont gain a lot of weight when you start eating because you gradually work your way up to normal eating habits. The longer you continue fasting the more it harms your body and can have lasting effects.
