When does not eating enough become Anorexia Nervosa?
Anorexia is when you have a irrational fear / phobia of fat and don’t eat anything that they don’t have to. They also don’t think it’s a problem and it’s normal not to eat much whereas dieters know it’s bad but they really want to lose weight. I would say <500 calories would be really anorexic but really anything under 1000 can be anorexic. Slightly obessive dieting is when someone can starve themselves like an anorexic (at least under 1000 calories) and then eat healthily the next day. That's my interpretation of the line between slightly-obsessive dieting and anorexia nervosa.
