    She'll probably pass out if she continues eating so little calories.

    General science - eat less energy than you use/burn = losing weight.
    However, there are means and ways.

    Hope she feels better soon.

    One of my kids ended up in the hospital getting hydrated after a stomach bug did that. If she doesn't eat and drink more within a day, she needs to be seen by a doctor.

    'She' will be very ill if she doesn't eat as soon as 'she' feels up to it.

    She will lose water weight and be dehydrated as all get out. She will not lose much fat only eating 200 calories in a day.

    I hope she feels better soon. Being sick and not being able to eat makes us even sicker due to lack of nutrition.

    anything she loses will be more than likely just water weight....

    I had food poisoning once and dropped like 8 pounds in four days but it slowly came back over next few weeks...

    It sounds like this person needs to go to the hospital... why are you so concerned about the weight loss??

    I'm going to second this...

    When ill weight loss should be the last thing on your friends mind..to recover she should try to refuel and leave the weight watching to another day.

    your profile says you have an ED ...so me thinks that your friend is you ....

    If this really is you, please do not just eat 200-500 cals a day ..and if you are, please seek immediate help.

    I had a nasty stomach bug late last year and couldn't keep anything in for 5 days, I tried to eat little and often and kept drinking clear fluids (Yakult was recommended by my GP) I lost 8lbs in 5 days but it all went back on within a few days of eating normally. She should try and eat what she feels like and keep drinking, it is doesn't improve go to see her doctor. And not even think about weight loss while she is ill.

    Seriously she needs to concentrate on getting fluids in her system!!! As a mom I know that is priority numero uno! And yeah she'll lose but it will come back once she is able to eat again.

    And I agree with the others - weight is not the concern here - not what should be the concern if health is the main topic. What's up?

    If your 'friend' is eating that little her body will go into starvation mode and hole on to anything 'she' eats.
    In the end 'she' will have only lost water weight and may even gain extra weight.
