Why is starving yourself a bad way to lose weight?

1.39K 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.

Sounds like an eating disorder (bulimia) more so than him trying to lose weight. It may very well have started off with him doing it to lose weight but turned into a problem.

It’s bad because your body eventually goes into ketosis which is not healthy long term.
