Why is starving yourself a bad way to lose weight?

1.47K viewsBiologyOther

My friend has been starving himself and vomiting up his food consistently for the past 2 years i’d say, he’s about 65kg whilst being around 6’1, i try to tell him that it’s bad for your health and that sooner or later he’ll just put the weight back on again anyway, but he hasn’t, he’s stayed being relatively skinny and there has been no changes in his behaviour or personality in fact i’d say he’s much happier than he’s ever been.

In the long term, he will gain weight. Humans that starve make their bodies way more efficient at keeping calories (which means it’s easier to gain weight).

The body will adapt to try and survive in case of starvation.
