Question: Anorexia Nervosa? I've self-diagnosed myself with Anorexia Nervosa. Why? I skip breakfast and lunch, and then after school I try to prevent myself from getting home as long as I can so I won't be around food within my reach. When I have no choice, I go home and drink a 220 calorie drink that delays hunger for up to four hours. I then stay up in my room and do all that I can do prevent me from leaving to go into the kitchen.
I think I'm fat, though I know I can't be with my pant size. (28x30 s don't fit without belts. I'm a guy for the record.)
I don't want to start eating again because I feel different this way. I'm trying so desperately to not let my life be controlled by hunger and having the need to eat to go on.
I just don't want to eat, but I'll gladly get nutrients somehow else.
What can I do?
I do at least 40 minutes of cardio EVERY DAY along with weight training every other...
Answer: ok. i used to eat like less that 1200 calories a day 2 years ago. and i felt horrible. then i started eating right cuz i saw a nutritionist. i was sooo malnourished even if i did drink ensure plus. but yea u need to eat. u dont want to die do you?
you need to LIVE to EAT not EAT to LIVE.
Question: What is Anorexia Nervosa and how it can be cure with natural methods? Finding a natural remedy for a disease can be a very difficult thing. So I am looking for suggestions of natural remedies for this disease (Anorexia Nervosa). Thanks.
Answer: Anorexia nervosa is loss of appetite resulting from nervous anxiety. This nervous condition is self induced and more commonly found in the young women.
Some of its symptoms are loss of appetite, activeness but very much less sleep. Other symptoms include weight loss, stop of menstruation and lack of sexual desire, etc.
Some of the natural methods to treat it are as follows:
1. To start with the patient should fast on water and orange juice for 3-5 days.
2. Application of ice-bag over the stomach for half an hour before meals.
3. Use of sour grapes, etc.

Question: Is there a disorder that resembles anorexia nervosa, but is entirely different? Say, one is nervous of LOSING excess weight, and eats a lot?
I would say the opposite of Anorexia nervosa, but that sounds stupid.
Answer: No, such a thing does not exist. The closest thing I can come up with is called 'reverse anorexia' - you see this predominantly in males, especially bodybuilders. It is the pervasive feeling of "not being strong enough" and thus having to consistently work out.
