I am not a doctor. This is what I have learned in medic school and from my own personal health problems. I am sure somebody else could explain it better or use more accurate terms…this is what I remember.

After awhile there is a drop in hormones such as estrogen and thyroid hormones. This causes amenorrhea, infertility, bone loss…Abnormalities such as bradycardia, blood flow reduction, decreased B/P, loss of heart muscle, rises in cholesterol develop… Heart problems are probably the most common cause of death. Imbalances of minerals such as potassium and calcium can lead to an electrolyte imbalance that causes an irregular heartbeat that can be lethal.

Basically, not eating=Death

I am not sure, but I think depression is likely to increase as well as the risk of suicide and there are links to memory/thinking issues.

Again, I am not a doctor. This is what I have learned in medic school and from my own personal health problems.

If you are considering starving yourself, please seek medical assistance. This is a serious and life threatening issue.
