    i dont know, but dont hold an experiment on yourself to find out.

    i would guess that it would all depend on how big they are, if they were fat then i assume a good month or two, but if they were already skinny i would say probably ummm a couple of weeks or a month.

    If the person who has anorexia is already thin, the weight loss might appear subtle at first, but persons close to the anorexic should notice that clothes become loose and face becomes thin. At this point, friends and parents should notice eating behavior, if they haven’t already.

    As weight loss continues she stops having periods. Complexion becomes sallow. Hair may start appearing thinner and dryer. Postural hypotension, the inability to rapidly adjust blood pressure with position changes, ensues. She becomes listless and inactive. Death can occur at this stage if intervention is not taken.

    it depends;
    varies from person to person cos everyones with their: weight, height, excerise, eating habits.
    so you can notice it from several dif. things:

    1) Body weight that is inconsistent with age, build and height (usually 15% below normal weight).
    2) Loss of at least 3 consecutive menstrual periods (in women).
    3) Not wanting or refusing to eat in public
    4) Anxiety
    5) Weakness
    6) Brittle skin
    7) Shortness of breath 8) Obsessiveness about calorie intake

    and this is just some of the obvious
