Can you exlain how Anorexic's lose weight?
Question:
And if they start eating normally again will their metabolism go back?
And if they are starving themselves and they do eat something, do their bodies store it as fat, and eat the muscle? Even if they work off the food?
How fast does the body go into starvation mode?
Answers to any of theses questions would be appreciated...
Answers:
Anorexics will never be satisfied with any weight loss until it kills them. The body will use up any fat then start on muscles and internal organs. Cause of death is usually heart failure because the amount of heart muscle destroyed makes it unable to sustain the rest of the body.
Surviving anorexics commonly develop some minor heart problems, notably mitral valve prolapse, a type of heart murmur.
Anorexics are also never cured. They are only recovering, just like alcoholics.
If they go back to eating sanely, their metabolisms will recover to an extent, but will never be totally normal again.
Based on your question history, I think it would be best not to give you advice on how to become anorexic. Please speak to your doctor and parents quickly. Anorexia is a psychological disorder, Honey, not a diet plan.

Because there is no fat going into their body to produce, molocules to upkeep there weigh. It's kinda complicated just reread it a couple time you will get it.
As their metabolism slows down, they will lose weight more slowly, as it will become more efficient at storing energy.
If they start eating again, their metabolism will eventually go back, although it may take some time depending on how badly they damaged it.
If they eat something, since the metabolism is so efficient (slow), it stores as much as it can as fat. Muscle is the first thing to be eaten, as it takes more energy to maintain than fat. If they work off the food, if they're in starvation mode, they'll probably burn mostly muscle.
The body goes into "starvation" mode about six hours after your last meal. It doesn't get to critical levels after about a day or two of no eating, but it certainly slows down right away.
A healthy body can go into starvation mode relatively quickly, in two or three days. Yes, they lose weight faster at the beginning, just like all of us. Then things slow down as there is less and less tissue to lose. That's when the major organs really start to go and death rapidly follows. Anorexics who are very bad need to be medically supervised when refeeding, since you have to be careful about what and how fast you feed them. If they eat anything, chances are their bodies will not store much of it, just use it up immediately until it comes out of starvation mode.
anorexics yea, dont eat jack ****. so they get really skinny, and then their bodys like oh **** we gonna die, so it starts eating up stored fat, so at first anorexic people are like damn this works, then they keep doin it. so their body starts eating the muscle to get its nutrients. so then they start looking freakishly skinny, and theyre tired most of the time cause theyre not getting energy from food, and the energy they get from eating their own muscle is going to pretty much keeping them breathing. their body is rationing what it has left. then when this skinny little person decides to eat something, the body absorbs it and turns it to fat because it takes too much to turn it to muscle, and the fat is useful to store excess calories. so once the person is like alright im dont being anorexic, their body is still like yea we got food right now, but what if we start starvin again next week?? so all the food you eat once your done being anorexic is turned to fat, so you start healthy, and once your all done with anorexia you have no muscle and your body turns everything into fat. so now your weak, and pudgy.
