How much weight do anorexics lose?
I am not nor do I want to be anorexic. I have a research paper due over anorexia but do not have some of the facts. I have looked around but everywhere is mainly just a lecture to not starve yourself. This was the only place I could think of that could help. I need to know how long one can lose without eating for a week to a month.

Thanks to years of intense ther
Sorry for the incomplete answers I hit answer by mistake. With lots of professional help (great doctors) I learned how to, for the most part, keep my anorexia under control. Hope this is somewhat helpful. Good luck on the paper.
How much weight? As much as they can.
I don’t understand your last question. What information are you looking for?
