On average, how fast do anorexics and/or bulimics lose weight?

Isabella S asked:


Like, how much per week, or month? And how long does it take to start losing weight?

Something for my college english class. I have to write a research paper on eating disorders, and I thought this information would be interesting..

Anorexia bulimia is a mental disorder that causes people to starve and damage the stomach lining that the body simply cannot repair. In severe cases, the stomach is so damaged that no food can be digested and the person dies. The amount of weight a person loses is totally dependent upon the amount of damage done to the stomach. In an autopsy of a person suffering from this, the lining of the stomach looks like a cat scratched it all up and scar tissue can cover the interior surface of the stomach. If you fast on nothing but water and lemon juice for two weeks, you will lose about 30 pounds. That would be the extreme case for not getting any food into the body.

good luck to you
