anorexics don't consume enough calories to cause fat storage but they are not lean. lean is where a person has muscle mass with a low percentage of body fat. ever see an anorexic person with a 6 pack? you never will... they lack muscle tissue and generaly have a high percentage of body fat as compared to the total bodyweight. anorexia nervousa is a mental health disorder that manifests itself physically. following an extremely low calorie diet causes the metabolism to slow and is no myth but a basic function of human biology.
you dont GAIN weight, but you might not LOSE it if u starve urself because ur body hangs onto its fat stores
This is partly true. When u starve your body, you slow down your metabolism a lot. When you start eating normal amounts again, you gain weight easier
I hope you aren't anorexic. If u are, plz seek help
because if you go anorexic and then give up the next day, your body goes into starvation mode, and burns few calories, and when you eat the next day, you haven't burnt any calories so you have calories from the previous day ON TOP of the calories you just ate, and as a result, you gain weightt.
BUT if you were to go anorexic for say 3 weeks, your body cant stay in starvation mode for that long, so it burns calories that aren't there, and as a result, you loose weight rapidly.
I think they mean when you starve yourself to lose like 5-10lbs. Then you start eating again you will gain the weight back. The reason is because when you don't eat your body goes into starvation mode. So when you finally do start eating again your body will "keep ahold of that food" stores it for fat, because it is thinking that it may not get food again for awhile. But straight up anerexics who never eat besides piecing and nibbling on a carrot or salad and drinking some water of course won't gain weight..and will lose weight (muscle first then fat) Thus becoming very very unhealthy and grouse looking.
