Question for Doctors/Dietitians about "starvation mode"?

Your body will go into starvation mode but it will take a few months. Mine is there now but not by choice. I have to go get IV's of vitamins & minerals and an IV of electrolytes every 3-4 weeks because all I can eat is strained baby fruit because of an eating disorder. I am anemic, all my blood work comes back too low and my heart is now beating irregularly and I am having palpitations and now one side of my heart is larger than the other and I have diseases of the sinuses which has prevented me from being unable to smell a thing for 11 months. I am waiting for approval for a gastric pacemaker so I can eat food. My bowels shut down and I got this disease 7 years ago and my body has been pulling all the calcium from my bones and all the protein from my muscles for a couple of years now and nothing can be done to stop it. So if you are going to diet be sure you get all the nutrients you need or you will be in the same shape I am in only you would have done it to yourself, a disease did it to me. you have a choice, I didn't.
