anorexia is a serious mental disorder that's incompatible with being overweight. kinda edgy to use "anorexia" synonymous-ly with "i feel like i'm not eating much". and if you plan to lose weight, you must eat healthy food at least six times a day in small portions will working out daily. attempts at refusing food altogether do not work in any manner.

I'm not just using "anorexia" on a whim. I got up to 260 lbs and started purging after every meal then after a while of not gaining nor losing I started not eating at all so I wouldn't have to go through vomiting all the time. after about a year of not eating but a handful of this or that every 3 or 4 days, and throwing that up too on occasion, I was referred to a specialist and diagnosed officially. So even though I'm not skinny I do have anorexia by some definition.

@Shishigumi: Well, in my personal experience, if you can offset your metabolism in the right ways via changing your diet, you can start fasting for multiple days as an effective weight loss strategy. When I took the keto diet, I would eat absolutely nothing for a few days every now and again, and alongside working out, I would just shred weight like never before.

That being said, it is also important to understand how your body reacts to certain diet changes. Everyone is different and fasting may not be for everyone.
