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.

Organ health. Starving yourself may make a noticeable impact on your weight and fatty tissue appearing to be going down, but you also will be losing muscle. Your body can only absorb so many nutrients from fat, and your organs will be negatively affected to the point of damaging them over time. Obviously you cant check on the status and appearance of your organs like you may be able to with your body’s appearance, but over time your internal organs will be paying the price for a “weight loss hack”. The vomiting will also wreck your esophagus and could lead to some nasty reflux issues in the not-so-distant future. So while you may “feel fine” mentally, physically your body is not fine, and is simply just trying to survive.
