Okay, so I'm gonna ask even though this forum seems close to dead half the time and the views to replies ratio is rather depressing...but perhaps that's because more people read than post/reply. Or because few suffer from eating disorders on this site, but something makes me doubt the latter. anyways on to the true intent of my post....

This is posed mostly at restrictive type anorexics I suppose but to anyone else to whom it might apply as well. A day without eating makes one tired. A couple of days lead to dizziness, irritibility, fainting, etc. What about, say, a week? or two? Do the above stated symptoms simply intensify? Does the body entirely shut down? How difficult is it to function in a "normal" manner?
