Riiight. No anorexic ever died from dieting/fasting.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Anorexia/bulimia are mental disorders, Skippy, in case you were unaware of that.

But then you do know everything.

So since you know so much about fasting, how many times have you done it?

Or do you know everything simply because you’re omniscient?

What were your BMI and tonnage before and after your last “water fast”?

>>You have a lot more chance of being killed by aspirin than by fasting.

Meanwhile, in reality land:

[DEATH DURING THERAPEUTIC STARVATION FOR OBESITY]
“12 cases of obesity, complicated by a variety of conditions, have been treated by periods of starvation varying from two to eight weeks. 2 cases started in severe heart-failure and both died suddenly after three and eight weeks treatment during which time their clinical condition improved considerably. It is suggested that the combination of obesity and severe heart-failure should not be treated by starvation for there would seem to be a very real risk of inducing ventricular fibrillation.”

[GROSS FRAGMENTATION OF CARDIAC MYOFIBRILS AFTER THERAPEUTIC STARVATION FOR OBESITY]
Death from ventricular fibrillation consequent upon therapeutic starvation to her ideal weight is described in an obese but otherwise healthy 20-year-old girl. At the time of her death the plasma electrolytes, calcium, magnesium, pH, and blood-gas tensions were normal. The extracellular fluid volume was also normal although the lean body mass was reduced. The myocardial fibres were reduced to approximately half their normal diameter, and electron microscopy revealed gross loss and fragmentation of the myofibrils. It is concluded that prolonged total starvation is an unsafe procedure.
