Discussion Death from "refeeding syndrome"?

[thetwilightzone]

Anyone thought about this method?

It's true. Saw it first on 1000 ways to die. A terrorist starved himself for 3 weeks until he got thin enough to slip outside a prison.

He escaped successfully and celebrated with a big meaty feast that was delicious but then...he died..lol. Apparently, it disrupts heart activity.

Sounds like a good way to go.

I'd probably take a stimulant like coke or meth for a whole week straight then spend the next week eating nothing, then indulge in a huge meal the week after.

Suffered from something similar when I "recovered" from anorexia nervosa. Do not recommend, just fucked up my health even more.

That sounds like a freaking horrible way to go. Why does that method appeal to you?

 

[Fucking loving it]

You need to starve for awhile....

I watched a video about that a few days ago.



It is certainly a way to die, but I fail to see any reasons to pick it over other methods.

Yeah when I was in residential eating disorder treatment 4 years ago, they taper the really skinny people up slowly on calories to make sure they don't get refeeding syndrome. Not pleasant. I got something similar though not as extreme because they assumed because of my body weight I ate more, and had me on more calories from the get go when I was going from 0-200 calories a day to 2000 it was pretty insane. I truly thought I was going to die and hoped it would end soon.
