Can anorexic people eat meals, or are they people who never eat?

Answer #1

someone who never eats will quickly die, anorexic people do eat occasionally, they just stupidly starve themselves by only eating a tiny bit of food, much less than what normal healthy people eat

Answer #2

They eat very little. If it goes on for however so long their body adjusts to it, you can’t live very long without eating.

Answer #3

They do it. And if at anytime they think that they eat too much, they will make an effort to throw it out again.

Answer #4

*it is actually eat

Answer #5

If they never ate, they be dead… so yes, they do eat. However, they do not eat enough, they eat very little… meaning they basically starve themselves just to get skinny.

Answer #6

They do eat but usually its very infrequent, and from experiance its not a fun disease to have, I wudnt suggest it to anyone

Answer #7

Not always to get skinny, it cud b a control issue, that’s what my problem is, when my world get out of wack and I have no control my anerexia gets that much worse, cuz food is the one thing I can control

Answer #8

Maybe. However, most of the time… it is done specifically to get skinny because they think they are fat, when they’re not.

Answer #9

U r correct most of the time it is to get skinny, I was just tryin to b informative that that’s not the only reason people r anorexic

Answer #10

Those who suffer from anorexia typically never finish a full meal, most won’t even attempt to eat a normal meal that most people eat because of how fattening they believe it to be [even if, by normal standards, it isn’t].

People with this eating disorder often have certain calorie limits they don’t want to exceed; going over that limit by eating a full, normal meal puts a huge amount of stress on them and their emotions. This causes them to go to extremes in most cases to compensate for the additional consumed calories in the following day(s). They usually do so by either limiting the calories even more so, exercising for an extended period of time, or fasting (not eating anything).

It’s definitely a struggle..

Answer #11

Anorexia from my understanding has nothing to do with the meal consumed. It has to do with the mind of an individual who constantly thinks they are fat even though they are not. Some may eat a full meal and physiological see themselves bigger in the mirror.
