How do hungry people sustain unnaturally low weights

Like a previous poster said. If someone offered me 5 million dollars and told me I had to lose 20lbs, guess what? I am doing anything humanly possible to get there. Money is the motivating factor for most. Some are narcissitic and thrive off the adoration of looking a certain way.

Yeah, it's money and fame. They are VERY motivating factors. If I had an agent and he told me "I've spoken to producers and you need to drop 20 pounds to get that role that pays a million dollars," that 20 pounds would be GONE. We all know the strategies they use from the ones who are nice enough to admit it and not lie to us claiming they are so thin from "hiking a few times a week" or "just watching what they eat." Yeah you watch it, smell it...and you don't eat it lol. If you drink lemon water for breakfast, tomatoes and a couple cubes of cheese for lunch, and 1 chicken breast for dinner, indeed you will lose that weight lol.

That's why some of them are rumored to be so rude. They're hungry. I get angry when my boyfriend grabs a giant bite of my food...I can't imagine how mad they are when they diet.

And as another poster mentioned, there are those that use substance assistance and pills sadly.

It's important to remember that these people have lots of free time and unlimited financial resources. If I didn't sit at a desk all day and had excessive amounts of money, I'd be in the gym for hours with my PT and head home to a meal prepped by a personal chef, too.

I don't really think maintaining a low weight means you have to be hungry, either. I'm pretty thin (107 lbs. at 5' 2") and I eat at least 1700 calories a day with just moderate exercise (walking) a few days a week. I found losing the "vanity pounds" to be much harder than maintaining my goal weight.

Everyone is different, though. See. When I was 107 lbs, even eating what I eat now to maintain my current weight, I felt hungry. All the time. Because I wasn't meant to be 107 lbs.

The only real answer to this thread is... they lose their sanity doing so. They can smile, and pretend they're sane and happy. But I doubt they really are. If you try to maintain an image that is not natural to your physical and mental state of being, you are eventually going to break.

they do binge. they just don't work every day of the year like us, so you don't get to see them when they have some extra weight.

I recall Demi Moore saying that being in shape and fit was her job. She approached working out and looking great as her work. I thought that was well stated. Also many actors lose weight for a role and gain some back right after..they talk about it all the time.

As for personal chefs and trainers? Oprah has had those her entire career. That's all I'll say on that.

But for us typical folk.. we have to decided where we want to land with weight goal. For me.. i want to enjoy my life..which means food too. I don't know for sure how much I'll lose…because i don't want to be stuck eating 1200 calories, which i know can't be sustained.

I don't think that it is remotely healthy to do that, and it's not something you should see as being desirable or better than what you're doing.

Aim to be healthy, and aim to love and appreciate yourself for the shape that you are when you're at a healthy body fat percentage and are fit and strong. Not everyone has the same frame size (width of the skeleton, i.e. shoulders, pelvis, rib cage) and frame size does not always correlate with height (models are tall and small framed. people can be short and large framed, and all other combinations). So the fact that you have a 25 inch waist and some model has a 24 inch waist doesn't mean anything. If you're at a healthy body fat percentage and you're generally fit and strong, then that's just the shape you're meant to be, and you may actually be quite a bit healthier than the model you're comparing yourself to.

These Hollywood Actresses seem to just live off Fish, Salads and Veg.
I'd be miserable on that diet!
