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: Biology
Because your body is made up of a small ecosystem of bacteria that helps break down / digest food. By not eating, you kill off this internal ecosystem. Along with that, most of your initial weight loss is water, not fat. Prolonged starvation results in weakening of the entire digestive tract, put simply, your body isn’t designed to go on without food. And as such, your body starts to break down when you don’t eat food.
