My friends been eating raw veggies and fruits only and no bread or pasta for over 2 years. shes underweight now, so im just wondering is it normal to be underweight from this or?
she used to be my size now shes 93 pounds at 5'6. thanks =D
That's way too skinny - I looked at a BMI chart for women, and at 93 pounds, her BMI would be 15, which is severely underweight (healthy BMI would be 18.5 to 24). Sounds like she has an eating disorder. A vegan diet (any diet, actually) needs to have protein and fat to be healthy.
Not normal, but I too only crave uncooked foods. However, it is possible to be healthy while doing this.
One of my best friends did that a few years ago. She went vegetarian, lost a bunch of weight, and then started enjoying the weight loss to the point that it developed into an eating disorder. At 5'3 she got to somewhere around 80lbs, got sent to special clinics several times and totally messed up her metabolism. She is better now but if you want to go vegan you have to know how to do it the healthy way and make sure you aren't neglecting any vital nutrients.
Look at a BMI chart. For someone who is 5'3 the lowest healthy weight limit comes in at about 109lbs. Someone three inches taller than that? Yea, something is up.
Wow she is wayyy too skinny. I'm 5'2 and weigh 115 and I think I'm too skinny. U should really try to get her some help, def not normal.
Yeah, that is too skinny. Sounds like she has an eating disorder. It's possible to be even a raw foods vegan & still be a healthy weight, (although that takes some effort), but this just sounds unhealthy.
That's way too skinny. She needs medical attention and probably a psychiatrist too.
Not healthy, she needs fats and protein in her diet. She is malnourished.
