Yes, but no. If you live through your anorexia, you will gain weight so fast it's not even funny. Exercise. Eat right. Don't not eat.

Mathew answered Tuesday March 8 2005, 6:09 am:
Yes. When you're not eating, your body has to find nutrition SOMEWHERE. It usually takes it from the fat storages. However, when you do start to eat again, your body wants to replenish ASAP, and most of the fat WILL be stored again. The best way to lose weight and keep it off is mild excersize.

i<3tx answered Sunday February 20 2005, 10:05 pm:
anarexia DOES make you loose weight.. But, to much of it. If you wanna loose weight, then go on a diet. Because here is wat happens.. WHen your anarexic, your body gets rid of pretty much everything, and that can lead to alot of dangerous things that have to do with your body.. and if you are anarexic, your body knows your starving yourself, so then when you do eat, it holds on to the food you give it, and stores the fat. so, in the long run, it can either lead to physical problems, or you could get even heavier than you started with.. hope i helped :D

kittyluvr1826 answered Thursday February 10 2005, 6:43 pm:
It does lose weight, but remember it also causes acne and your hair to fall out. It also can cause uncurable bone diseases, and depression. The consequences of being anorexic will outweigh the skinny part of it. Also, when you do eat, your body will be so starved of nutrients, that it will retain all the fat in the food. So in a way, anorexia can cause fat, unless you eat absolutely nothing for the rest of your life, which will cause death. so PLEASE don't do it. Hope it helps LYL ~Lexi

yea but than your become digustingly thin and could die. How come you just can't go on a healthy diet? or better yet don't worry about your weight. I'm pretty sure you're thin. Be a kid worry about normal things

PeRfEcTpErSoN answered Tuesday January 11 2005, 5:42 pm:
You are not anorexic thats when you starve yourself and you think your fat and when you look in the mirror you never see that you are thinner...i no my bff was and she got put in the hospital because she got very sick and she lost no weight out of it...it started by she wanting to go on a diet and loose some weight but it got out of control...nothing good comes out of it so eat more

confusedbabii answered Monday January 10 2005, 5:48 pm:
anorexia is where you think you're too fat so you stop eating some food, then you still think you're too fat and you stop eating meals, and then you don't eat at all. and that is seriously bad for you. try a diet and some exercises. hope i helped!

We all know when it comes down to saying the truth we know that with diets the only thing that works is healthy eating and exercise. If your so concerned with your weight maybe join a sport or gym that you can really enjoy with a friend. No matter what people think you'll always be beautiful.

Yes. It does make you lose weight, because you get so hungry that your body just starts eating it's self. That's how you become so slim. It's not heathy at all hun.

JadedinNowhere answered Sunday January 9 2005, 8:55 pm:
Well yea it makes you lose weight, but it's unhealthy to lose too much. Maybe you should go to a counciler about this. You can probably find more help there than you can on a computer site.

lilangl1113 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 6:30 pm:
It makes you lose weight, strength, and nutrients. Two things you'll gain: depression(the w8 u'll be at will never be good enough)and a skeleton body. Don't think about putting yourself in that position. It WILL hurt you very bad if you try it. ~*AmAnDa*~

reach_for_the_stars_14 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 2:27 pm:
yes it does make you lose weight but not in a healthy way. if you keep this up you can die, ive heard lots of stories about people dying from being anorexic. so please eat something or tell someone that you think that you are anorexic because this is a serious problem that if you dont eat something soon you can die or be hospitalized so for your own good EAT!!!!!

Karen answered Sunday January 9 2005, 12:39 pm:
Nope, anorexia makes you gain weight because since your body hasn't had any food for a while, what ever you eat will be stored as fat so you gain weight. You need to try to recover from this because it will damage your body, trust me! Hope I helped :)

Advice_x33 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 11:35 am:
it does make you loose weight, however, it makes you VERY unhealthy, and you will starve..my friend was anorexic and she ended up passing out at school and they had to rush her to the hospital and now shes in a treatment center and she hates it..
it also makes you loose too much weight and then you look like a stick and its not very attractive..being that skinny is gross..you should have at least some skin on your bones..
you will ruin your life if you stop eating..trust me, i know

well, I've been anorexic and yes, it really does make you lose weight. I lost like 10 pounds in less than a month for being anorexic and bulimic. when you're anorexic, every though you're losing weight, your breasts also become smaller

SnowKitten213 answered Sunday January 9 2005, 5:38 am:
Truthfully, no it does not make you lose weight. It actually will make you gain weight if you start eating more. If you start eating more, you will gain a lot more. Because, what happens when you stop eating is your body doesn't think you're getting enough nutrition so what happens is your metabilism slows down a lot and less of your food is processed into engery and fat. It will stay in your little belly for a long time until it gets processed. If you start eating more, yes, it will gain you some weight (And if you are anorexic, you should gain weight) but, after a while, if you excersize, and eat healthy and drink lots of water. Your metabilism might go back to normal and you will stay a nice good, healthy weight. I hope I answered your question without confusing you! Ask me more about it if you'd like. I've gone through that. I stopped eating completely for about 2 months once. ~Ashy!~

No it is not good for you, and there are /plenty/ of ways to lose weight without starving yourself. One would be to just eat, but eat healthier, and balance it out with exercise.

orphans answered Sunday January 9 2005, 12:44 am:
Losing wieght is a matter of decreasing fat that is unhealthy. Being anorexic you lose everything. first you seem to lose fat but really you start to lose muscle and energy. my friend had anorexia 3 months ago she was strictly not eating. she ended up in the hospital for a month with a tube carrying liquid food being shoved down her throat just to make her eat. she was permanently damaged and is in counseling for the rest of her life- if shes lucky. try to avoid not eating anything but try at least eating a little then gradually move up. girls that are anorexic ussually have low self esteem... when your skinny... you look worse then before... You could tell your friends to help you out on this. If you really want to lose weight in a healthy way then just eat on a healthy diet such choosing cooked or baked goods over fried things. Also try to eat stuff with less calories from fat rather than carbs or regular calories. Hope I helped :)

Shortie8959 answered Saturday January 8 2005, 11:54 pm:
Ya, it does, but it's really unhealthy. If you want to lose weight, instead of going anorexic, make a plan. Do about 20-30 crunches at night, eat healhier, no junkfood, don't skip breakfast. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

No, you actually gain weight by eating. When you dont eat for a long period of time, your stomach isnt used to eating, so after 2 or more days of not eating, the first time you eat, you actually gain weight! (hope i makes sence!)

Alin75 answered Saturday January 8 2005, 10:59 pm:
Apart from what everyone else wrote theres another problem (I will answer your question, bear with me). When you dont eat, your body goes into famine mode. It slows down your metabolism and then digests the easiest thing possible, which unfortunately is MUSCLE (fat is very hard to break down which is why proper weight loss is a science). Then to make matters worse, when you do eventually eat you will be FAR more prone to gain weight in FAT, because of your slow metabolism. So, to answer your question- you do lose weight but its largely the wrong kind. Then you will either get sick (or die) from malnutrition or eventually eat and gain weight in fat. Its a no win situation believe me.

XbleweyedtearsX answered Saturday January 8 2005, 10:52 pm:
yes it does, but you die from it..painfully..so it's not good. And then you end up gaining it all back plus possibly more..so yeah..
