Question
while recognizing anorexia is harmful, i wonder as someone who has hard time losing despite diets and exercising (moderately) what is the secret for being able not to feel hunger and not eat. i am not a young girl.

Answer
Dear Adit,
I am not clear on what you are attempting to accomplish. What do you weigh right now? if you are already at a healthy weight, you may not need to diet. Are you worried about being anorexic? How much are you eating?

There is no secret to not eating and not feeling hungry. Hunger is your body's way to let you know it needs fuel. Without gas, a car wouldn't get too far, and our bodies operate in a similar fashion.

Anorexia is not an eating control mechanism, it is a very dangerous and often fatal eatind disorder.

If you want to talk further, I'd be happy to extend a complimenatary coaching session to you.
