According to helpguide.org, anorexics often turn to pills and laxatives to shed weight. Sometimes they will use diet pills to lose the weight itself and other times they take appetite-suppressing tablets to prevent them from eating.
One way anorexics lose weight fast is by not eating a majority of the food on their plates at mealtimes. They will take normal portions for appearances' sake, scoot the piles of food around, rearrange it on the plate and finally throw it in the garbage when the meal is finished.
Anorexics make their food habit a lifestyle by keeping a diary of which foods they eat, counting every calorie they take in and read nutrition labels and diet books to help avoid eating foods high in fat, carbohydrates and calories.
Helpguide.org says anorexics sometimes vomit their food to keep it from staying in their bodies. They can do this by manipulating their gag reflexes or by taking vomit-inducing medication, such as ipecac syrup.
The anorexic brain doesn't let an individual eat too much food if it perceives that the body is too fat. Mayo Clinic says anorexics frequently look at their bodies in a mirror to spot flaws and constantly weigh themselves to check for weight fluctuations.
