Why does everyone say you will die if you dont eat, if...?
Question:
will you really die?
why are the celebs stil alive then?
Answers:
Stacey, the celebs are still alive because they DO eat. There's a big difference between dieting to stay slim & not eating.
There are many people, mostly females, who literally starve themselves to lose more & more weight. It doesn't matter whether or not they are celebs or regular people.
These girls have Anorexia Nervosa, and no matter how skinny they get, they still feel fat. Yes, these girls can definitely die, and many do.
It is simply a matter of biology — if you do not eat, for real, you will die. Anorexics often eat tiny amounts, yet say that they ate. A good clue that you have gotten way too skinny is when not only your family but also your friends start telling you that you're too skinny. They are not jealous; they are very worried.
The reason that less celebs die from it is because they have the money to go into special hospitals for treatment; and their agents help keep it a secret. Over the years, celebs have died from it; you may just be too young to know them.
I had 3 friends who dies from Anorexia Nervosa — 3. That is a lot of friends to die. I almost died from it. The reason I did not die was that I was put into the hospital several times. It takes a long time to get better from that, if you survive.
Many people who do not outright die end up with life-long heart problems, and other very serious problems that may cause them to die much younger than they should. Or, they end up having children with birth defects.
I wonder about what you first asked, "why does everyone say you will die if you don't eat." Where are you hearing that? Are people telling you that? And if they are, that would mean you are not eating much at all, & they are very scared for you.
If this is the case, please ask for help. Talk to someone, even a friend. If it's not you but someone you know who is being told this, then they need help. Is there anything you can do, like talk to your parents?
I don't know exactly what is going on, but I am quite concerned. I hope you will be all right.
I hope this information has helped you.
celebs aren't alive... they're hollow shells
i don't see how you didn't see their earlier
Actually, it doesn't exactly make you die, but it shortens your lifespan. I mean, just eat regularly and exercise! I can't really put it much better than that.
If you stop eating you will die, eventually. Celebrities do eat some just don't eat very much. This is usually the result of eating disorders brought on by their very celeb status their is a certain perception they feel they must live up too. (you can never be too rich or too thin). They're not fine. Many people including celebs binge and purge and hyper-exercise because of an urealistic fear that if they get fat no-one will care about them anymore. Millions of people starve to death everyday in drought and war torn parts of the wold, lots of kids too. You will die if you stop eating.
okay first of all, celebs eat, they always show candid pics of them going to restraunts to EAT, and second of all, you can go like a week w/o eating (it might be more or less), but celebs are just on strict diets.
I don't eat that much either, about 3 meals a day, two are usually just fruit or veggies, and I run, and play tennis just about everyday, and I'm still alive.
There is a difference between not eating much and not eating at all.
If it was not true then the starving children in many poor countries would not have a problem.
Depending on the amount of fat and muscle they have, a relatively healthy person can survive between two and four weeks without any food whatsoever. That is, if they're still drinking plenty of water.
Anorexic celebrities aren't fine. Anorexia is progressive. At first, they might be eating only a few hundred calories a day less than they should. But eventually, they're eating almost nothing. They may look fine, but their health is in a slow and steady decline. If it goes on long enough, there is multi-organ system failure, and the person dies, without exception.
