To me putting names on all of this is so not the point. If you have eating issues however mild or severe you have a problem and not living life to the full – it doesn’t matter if we’re not on deaths door we need somekind of support without all the labels depending on what health isues you present with!!!
The most common way I know of is with calipers, but you need someone trained how to use them properly to get an accurate result. It measures the skinfolds and gives you your body density, which can then be used to calculate your body fat percentage. ([4.570 รท body density] – 4.142) x 100 = body fat percentage. There’s plenty of info online. Most gyms would have a trainer that could help you calculate your body fat if you were really interested.
but how do u know if u have 7% fat or less or more than that?? is there a way to measure it?
hahaha I completely agree
lol what?
ur spelling is sooooooooo whatever…
WTF – this is the problem – u don’t have this so u can’t ahve this – but u do have this sooooooo – whatever!!!
So I was anaorexic in my teens now in my 30′s I barely maintain a “normal” BMI, I gte SOME periods, I throw up after a “normal” meal NOT a binge – how can anyone cateogrize this SHIT!!!
Its fine you can still be diagnosed with Anorexia Nervosa if yo have a period, I ws as well. My official diagnosis was Anorexia Nervosa F50.1 simply because I fitted all the other criteria. I remember being well pissed off because I was so sure they couldnt label me as anorexic because I still had my period ad somehow that was good because it meant I was actually fine and i wasnt really ill. It meant everyone else was wrong, turned out there is stupid number of labels and types of anorexia.
that’s why i said she would have EDNOS. There is a certain criteria you have to fit (I believe it’s 3 months w/o a period), along with other things to be categorized as anorexic.

That’s not true…I have a normal BMI right now and I do not get my period… off and on sometimes missing a year in between…
for someone with so many degrees she looks very young
you would be more likely diagnosed w/ EDNOS
Eating disorder not otherwise specified
You still have periods and are seen at a normal weight, but the eating patterns are messed up

I because some parents might not want their kids to see this
maybe it also serves as a slight trigger warning

It’s possible that you might get your period if you’re on the Pill anyway because it’s a simulated menstruation when you’re on the Pill (I’m not sure)
But what I do know is you will no longer get your period once you have less than 7% body fat.
Read Explaining colours to a blind man. Not only will it enlighten many as to what living with a mental illness is like, it also gives comfort to those sufferers who think there is no hope and that they are alone. It is very informative, sometimes shocking but also very funny in parts. All in all, a good read and highly recommended.
no, ur still anorexic. You can be any weight and have anorexia x
why is there a warning on the begining of the video!
thats strange cos ive been diagnosed with anorexia and i stil have periods because im on the contreceptive pill?? also i was down to a low weight but not dangerously low? so does tha mean ive not got anorexia then??
and if they binge and purge while mostly restricting, weight is usually the qualifying factor to separate between anorexia and bulimia diagnosis.
Persons who severely restrict their caloric intake, whether they purge themselves or not, are classified as anorexic.
I would be very interested in knowing what this doctor’s opinion would be on clients who present with both anorexia and bulimia. How would such patients be diagnosed and treated?
