How to Lose Weight Fast - The Healthy Way

Recommended Answer:

the sad truth is as many have said, starving hurts but it works....with a huge price to pay. the reason why many have said to you that you will gain weight after a. Fast is beacuse you binge( which i doubt you can since prolonged fasting causes bloating when food is consumed)return to your regualr eating habits and your metabolism is lowered (not that much though) causing some weight gain if you dont exericise and slowly increase your caloric intake. on the other hand, some get addicted to fasting and the feeling of hunger pains and exercisng without food eventually leading to an eating disorder. Anorexia is a mental disease with physical symptoms and consequences. Its much more complex than you think. Though the person may see the anorexic as constintently fasting or starving themselves, they still actually eat just very infeprequently and very little, usually low cal, or so called neg cal foods like celery, lettuce, cabbge and may periodically fast and starve themselves. This is the restrivetive type of anorexia. The other type of anorexia is the binge purge type. This may sound similar to bulimia, but the binge isnt really a binge calorically wise. The anorexic may consume a normal amount of food but consider it as too much and makes her fell bloated and so she may purge by vomiting, taking laxatives or diuretics, exercising excessively or fasting or a combination of the listed. Anorexics dont usually get noticiably thin until the middle to late stages of anorexia. With the comibination of excessive low caloric intake and over exerting exercising, burning more an they eat, they lose weight. The difference is is that they do this chronically and when weight loss slows or platueaus they immediatly lower their caloric intake even more and increase their expendenture. Their bodies begin to waste itself from a lack of fuel, first using glyrecen, then the adipose tissue (white), then to the extremes lean mussle tissue including orgns which is why most anorexics die of organ failure and cardiac death.

• Anorexy is a long term disease. It comes slowly and takes months until the person doesn't eat the during a full day. It also takes months until other people can see the disease. Anorexy is a disease and not a diet, bit it often begins with a diet. Most anorexic people start being sick as teenagers. As their friends put on weight because they are growing, they stop putting on weight and sometimes they stop growing.
• Annoexica is mental disorder. They don't eat. They fear food. There world evolves around food.What people have described is called a binge. (Long periods of fasting and a one more days of exteme overrating )This might happen within a few days, but for me I find I get urges after a week. It's an intense struggle!Diet but don't descend into Anna.It's a savage cycle.
