Yes, this stuff totally confuses me. If your body starts hanging on to
weight if you starve yourself, then somebody explain to me why anorexics are
so flippin' bony!?"

Because someone who is anorexic has gone beyond fatloss, and has eaten
into any lean muscle mass they might of had. Not the physique a healthy
person would want or desire.

No, not at all, but the fat is gone too, which contradicts the "if you
starve, your body will hang on to the fat" thing. Not that I want to be
anorexic by any means, but it goes against what is supposed to happen when
you don't eat enough. You would think that anorexic people would all be
stuck at one weight.

How many obese people can be seen in the films of the survivors being freed
from the German concentration camps? Surely, a percentage of those interned
were obese. According to the theory of fat retention because of calories
that are too low, these victims should have been trapped in their obese body
shapes. I have read that the standard rations were 600 calories per day.
