I think my friend has an eating disorder! I need help!?!
Question: I think my friend has an eating disorder! I need help!!?
Okay so, my friend only eats dinner!. Like one day she only ate dinner where she had chili and she said she only had one-hundred calories(counts calories in what she eats)!. So my friend katie and I are really worried about her!. Katie talked to her(i was out of town)and katie would like not tell me anything!. Then I finally got it out of her!. Katie said our friend will be fine and i was like well why!? And she was like she went to her doctor on tuesday and her doctor said she was perfectly healthy, but i don't know if my friend is lying!. What if she didn't even talk to her doctor cause she knows she has a problem!. Katie said that my friend's doctor said what she eats is healthy because she is just not hungry!. But I think 100-200 calories a day is awful eating!. I think she really is in danger I mean she is soooo skinny! She also gets sick easily and is allergic to cold!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

This is a serious problem!. Let me tell you NO doctor would tell her that is a safe amount of calories!. Your brain functions throughout one day burn 600 calories alone!. Not to mention if she is walking around & being active she is burning so so many more!. A healthy range to loose weight is 1200-1300 calories a day!. After that you burn more than you eat!. If you eat 1500 to loose weight you should burn 200-300 calories!. It take calories just for your body to sit up and talk!. I would strongly recommend that you speak with her parents when she is not present!. It make be awkward and she may be upset, even for awhile!. But I promise you later when she is healthy her and her family will thank you for saving her life!. This could be the begining of a very big problem!. Many girls have trouble even facing that there is a problem!. Her parents may too, but she needs help! God Bless YouWww@Answer-Health@Com
