Answers:
people say that!. they say that if you dont eat you will gain weight!. it is not true! they usually say u gain weight because since u are starving sooner or later u will just go crazy and start eating more than u usually do or than u are supposed to!. thats when u gain weight and thats why people say that starving yourself will make u gain weight when its practically just common sense!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, before I answer this, I have to say one thing: Whatever you do, do NOT starve yourself, and if you think you are developing anorexia, please get help RIGHT NOW!. I don't want to sound like the annoying guidance counselor at school that you always hated, but I know first-hand that this is really serious!. Worst-case scenario, which is more likely than you think, is you will die from malnutrition!.

Anyway, here's how the weight gain works!. I know it sounds crazy, but it is true that you will most likely gain some weight when you aren't getting enough food!. Of course, eventually you will lose weight, but it takes time!. Once your body realizes that you are not getting enough nutrition, it goes into survival mode!. Your body starts pulling as much fat as it can get from everything you can eat in order to help you survive until you can get more nutrition!. As a result, you may gain a few pounds from under-eating because you are getting more fat out of the foods than you normally would!. Eventually, however, your body will not get enough nutrition despite the extra effort to pull everything posible from your food and you will start losing weight, and losing it fast!. As in, at a rate that is extremely dangerous to your health!.

Once again, if you think you are developing anorexia or someone you know might be, please, please, please get help!. Personal experience on my part lets you know that this is way more serious than you think!. Not to sound corny and all!.!.!. but had to let you know!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You gain weight when you start eating again!. That's what people mean when they say it causes weight gain to starve!. So basically, unless you plan to starve all the time then you'll ultimately gain weight!. Starvation mode is where your body's metabolism slows down incredibly and starts eating itself!. And since it's hard to get your metabolism back to normal it'll be easier to gain weight since your metabolism's so slow!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When your body is in starvation mode it isn't actually starving like it is with anorexia!. It is a built in alarm system that tells your body that there is a shortage of food, so your body stores all it can into fat cell for use in the lean times it is sure are coming!. When you are getting enough calories for your bodies nutritional needs then your body can use the extra calories in your "storage" or your fat cells for energy when it needs more!. Anorexia is when your body is actually starving, or breaking down your bodies muscles for nutrition because it isn't getting food other ways!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because if you don't eat then any food that you do eat,like even a single cheese cube your body will store pretty much all of it as fat instead of using it for energy, it does this because it realizes you might need it later!. With Anorexia your brain knows that you don't want to eat so it sends a message to the rest of your body not to store food as fat!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

When you don;t eat your body goes into a "starvation mode" in order to maintain homeostasis!. For that reason, calories that are took in are stored in your adipose tissue ( fat tissue) so taht your body can be nourished ( it doesn't know the next time you will get food it)!.!. That is why all these people that starve themselves can;t understand why they don;t get lean!. As long as you exert more than you intake you will lose weight!. It is not a starvation game!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You lose weight from starving, but your body eats muscle tissue and conserves fat, so you lose weight but reatin fat!. Then when you go into recovery, you overload your body with food (even if it's like 400 cals a day), so it has nothing to do but store it as fat!. Just google it or look it up in a library!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Anorexia is not eating at all!.
If you starve yourself, your body goes into that starvation mode and if you eat even a tiny little thing, your body immediately takes it and saves it up and it ends up being stored as fat!.

And so you gain weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's called "famine" mode!.

Your body thinks there's a drought on the land and is storing nutirents!.

Only when you have emanciated youself enough will your body begin to erode away!.!.!. To anorexia's, being thin is WAAAAY more important than being healthy!. The hardcore ones wish to starve themselves until "there is nothing left of them, then they will finally be truly free!.!.!." what a load of creepy bull crap!.

There are also the "wanna-be" annorexias!.!.!. who just dont quite fit to the "true" annorexia's clique make-up and expectations, like let's see if I can remember some stupid rule, oh, I dunno!.!.!. like NO EATING, and if one MUST eat, one must eat "safe foods" (Jell-O, broth (only 5 cals per cube YAY! -_-), Celeery (its practically water), lettuce and so on

NO butter, bread, ect!.!.!.

To make people not so suspicious of you make it appear like you are eating, like picking at the food on your plate, cooking for everyone, or even saying "I gotta eat on the go" knowing good as well once you walk out the door, you're gonnat throw that piece of no-buttered toast in the bushes!.!.!.

Wow!.!.!. those annorexics must be miserable, I mean!.!.!. NO CHEESEBURGERS!? NO OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE!? RED "LOBSTER"!?!!!! THAT'S TORTURE!!!! AHHHHHHHH!!! *rips out hair*

True, people call me a stick, but at least Im fit and strong and I eat like an ox!.!.!.!. (Plus I eat vitamins and the occassional nasty-*** green drink) so therefor, I'm healthy, not an emanciated skeleton!.!.!. that's covered in downy peach fuzz!.!.!.!.
