Why is starving yourself a bad way to lose weight?

1.44K 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.

Because starving yourself like that, plus the strain of repeated vomitting, is really bad for your organs- including your heart. Please keep a close eye on your friend because he has an eating disorder and the damage to his cardiovascular system and teeth/throat can get really bad.
