Anorexia and Fasting

I was on a chat forum and one topic was about weight loss. A person was looking for ideas on how to lost weight. A lot of people were telling her not to throw up or to stop eating. Then one girl said to fast for one day a week and only drink water. Is this the same as anorexia? Could this lead to anorexia?
  • Not good
    Whether fasting leads to an eating disorder or not, it is unhealthful. It is not good to go without food, or else you risk malnutrition. You still need to have a regular intake of proteins, vitamins and such - just in smaller amounts.
