Hey guys and gals, i was wondering if someone would be considered anorexic if they only ate once a day, or even nothing all day and maybe once the next?
Thanks

Eating is very important for our bodies to stay functioning properly so skipping meals and going without food for one whole day is really serious. If you simply don't get hungry see a doctor to see what is causing you to lose your appetite and how to get it back. [ wise_one's advice column | Ask wise_one A Question ]

rainbowcherrie answered Wednesday March 16 2005, 12:52 pm: They wouldn't be considered anorexic but they would be eating too little. You don't just get anorexia from missing a few meals, anorexia is a serious disorder that affects your mental health as well as physical. If they have been eating like this for a long period of time then they could have an eating disorder and should go to a doctor but if they only did this once then it probably isn't anything too serious. Having said this, you shouldn't be eating that little. [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
