Question
hi, I can't find it anywhere but what does an anorexic person eat daily? The internet just wont tell me. Can you find at least a diary of an anorexic and what they eat daily? thank you please make it quick  

Answer
I'm not happy to answer this question.  I feel that you may be looking for advice on losing weight, or becoming anorexic, and I am not going to help anyone make themselves ill.  These can be fatal illnesses, and not anything to be played with.  They are definitely not an acceptable or healthy way to lose weight.

Now please correct me if I'm wrong!

If you are trying to work out if you have a problem, send me a rough idea of what you eat and I will help you from there, but I am not here to give you tips on how to become anorexic.  I am here to help give advice when things are going wrong, not to cause them to go wrong in the beginning!

Expertise

I am a medical student and have suffered from anorexia and bulimia myself, I am willing to answer questions based on my own experiences. My advice, however, should not be used as a substitute for that of a qualified medical professional.

Experience

I suffered from anorexia from the age of about 10. By the age of 13 I was suffering from bulimia. Now after 10 years of suffering from an eating disorder, I feel that I can say that I'm well on my way with recovery and would just like to be able to share what I have learned with those in similar situations!
