"I've got a lot of experience with anorexia -- my grandmother and Great-grandmother suffered from it, and I had a lot of friends at school who Suffered from it. I know it's not something to be taken lightly and I don't." By Keira Knightley:

(She is an English actress. who began acting as a child on television and made her film debut in 1995. She had a supporting role as Saeb in Star Wars: Episode I)

At the start of this article, allow me to explain more fully what Anorexia is. Better known as Anorexia nervosa (usually just called anorexia) is an eating disorder. People with anorexia think that they are fat, or desperately fear of becoming fat even if they are very skinny. To try to lose weight, anorexics do not eat enough. When they do eat. They do not eat the amount of food their body needs, in an effort to avoid gaining weight. This causes them to lose too much weight too quickly. Get my drift now? Ready?

Then let’s roll it! Shall we?

OVERVIEW:

Let me start this intro with a quick overview. Believe me, no matter how you argue or try to justify, common sense will dictate the hard fact and telltale signs of :- 1. Those people suffering from anorexia go to extremes to reach and maintain a dangerously low body weight. But no matter how much weight is lost or how 2. Such people have unduly concerned with calories, fats and the quality of food. 3. These individuals give us the wrong impression on their eating habits. 4. The folks concerned pay excessive attention on foods and eating styles. 5. They perform food rituals that is beyond our imagination. Hello. Is this trailer clear enough for you for now? If not, fear not! Just continue reading and you get the whole picture! Honestly!

By the way, I know what you want when you downloaded this article. So here is on a silver plate for you. Right?

TELLING SIGN NO. 1. ANOREXIC STILL DIETS DESPITE BEING THIN. Correct me if I am wrong. Extensive research and my personal observation have concluded that anorexic people, they follow a severely restricted diet by eating only certain low-calorie foods and banning 'bad' foods such as carbohydrates and fats. Get my drift?

Believe me I would not hold my breath for the next sign. Serious! TELLING SIGN NO. 2. OBSESSION WITH CALORIES, FAT AND NUTRITION. If you must remember only one thing from this article remember this vital sign. Anorexic read food labels, measure and weigh portions, keep a food diary and read diet books. In other words, they are extremely fussy with the contents of the food they will take! Get my drift?

Without wasting any time, let’s then move quickly along to sign number 3. Alright? TELLING SIGN NO. 3. PRETENDING TO EAT OR LYING ABOUT EATING. The sign it is almost unbelievable. Anorexic hides, plays with, or throw away food to avoid eating. They make excuses to get out of meals, saying things like "I had a huge lunch" or "My stomach isn't feeling good". We may classify them as compulsive liars in the matter of food or meals. True?

Following this don't take my word for it yet. See for yourself the results of the many tests and experiments to prove my points in signs number 4.

TELLING SIGN NO. 4. EXCESSIVE PREOCCUPATION WITH FOOD. Let me share a deep secret with you. What I am telling you is more than a figment of my imagination. Trust me, anorexic eats very little but constantly thinks about food. They may cook for others, collect recipes, read food magazines or make meal plans. Any question so far? Then let me ask this question. Think we are going somewhere? I say we are at this stage.

Next. I'm sure there are some very good questions floating around your brain right now on the issue of ‘ANOREXIA’. And we just have to get them out in the open! Are you game?

TELLING SIGN NO. 5. PRACTICING STRANGE OR SECRETIVE FOOD RITUALS. Anorexic often refuses to eat around others or in public places. They may eat in rigid, ritualistic ways, like chewing food 32 times or using a specific plate. Lost you? Don’t worry just keep reading you will get it?’

A moment please! Without sounding like a broken record allow me to sum up the rest of this article. Objections?

SUMMARY: In a nutshell, we can spot an anorexic by whether she still diets despite being thin? Obsessed with calories, fat and nutrition? Pretending to eat or lying about eating? Preoccupation with food? Or. Practicing strange or secretive food rituals? If everything points to a big ‘Yes’ you can be sure she is an anorexic! Easy as pie? My answer is a big ‘Yes’ if I may say so myself.

Finally, if there is final thing I want you to take away from this article, it is the following paragraph.

CONCLUSION: At this juncture, I must admit this article would not be worth the time and effort if no mention is made on the evil effects of anorexia. Believe me, the damaging effect on the health of an anorexic will result in her loss of menstrual periods or, in the case of pre-teens, delayed onset of puberty. It could also result in the person suffering a lack of energy, weakness. Plus a feeling cold all the time. On top of it, they will be marred with a dry, yellowish ugly skin. Because of space and time constraints, we would not be able to talk more about treatments for anorexia nervos. However as a passing comment there are certain key areas to be address. It would be good in restoring such person to a healthy weight. It could means by treating the psychological disorders related to the illness and reducing or eliminating behaviors. Or thoughts that originally led to the disordered eating. Need I to say more? I guess not. Period! End of article
