When 20-year-old Katie started to lose weight, she just put an end to carbohydrates. Later, she simply had black coffee for breakfast and fruit for lunch. Finally, she hardly ate anything: she told her parents that she had homework, so she hid in the bedroom, threw the food into the bag and threw it out the next morning. The picture shows Katie before losing weight.
For a long time, she only consumed 250 calories a day (the normal demand is 1900-2300 calories a day): that is, she drank 12 cups of detoxified tea, plus some raw leaves.
Finally, her rapidly declining weight caught the attention of the school and parents: in September 20 14, Katie, who was already suffering from anorexia, was sent to an eating disorder treatment center. At that time, she weighed only 5 stone and 4 pounds (about 30 kilograms).
Katie, who is almost skin and bones, has a very big problem: the doctor told her that her heart is very fragile because of her light weight, and she may stop beating when taking a shower because of the change of temperature.
Katie said to herself, "I'm scared. When I entered the hospital, I couldn't even walk by myself. I need to sit in a wheelchair because walking will put too much pressure on my bones. "
Once, she just fell to the ground, but she lost a lot of blood. The doctor told her that because there is almost no protection from the fat layer, a very shallow incision will go straight to her muscles and it is easy to leave scars.
She received strict rehabilitation training in the medical center: she ate five meals a day, including eggs, meat, beans, coarse grains, vegetables, carbohydrates and essential nutrients. In addition, she also needs to do physical exercises such as weightlifting to grow her muscles.
A week later, she was allowed to take a bath; Katie won't be able to leave the wheelchair for three weeks.
