anorexics can be 90 lbs because they literally do not eat. but when they do decide to eat, they often gain weight at an incredibly rapid pace because their body has been deprived for so long. that's what starvation mode is. your body gets deprived for long enough that when it does finally get those nutrients, it holds on to them and stores them to survive
definitely not true.
I had anorexia for a number of years and even when i was forced into inpatient care and went from <300 cals a day to over 3000 cals a day it still took me months of being force fed to gain back even a bit of the weight i had lost.0
