Jessica Bennington is anorexic and a gym freak. At one point, she weighed a mere 28 kg and was so ill-looking that her former gym canceled her subscription. Desperate to work out what she thought was body fat, Bennington went to another gym where, to her amazement, they accepted her as she was. Now, she’s takin... |

As more and more media outlets are ganging up on former “90210” star Tori Spelling, criticizing her incredible weight loss less than a year after giving birth to her second child, Tori herself is speaking against all rumors.

Social factors, such as peer pressure and the need to look like women in magazines and on the catwalk, have been held as the rooting causes of eating disorders, especially anorexia and bulimia. Yet, a new study comes to reveal that such diseases may be traced back to a poor wiring in the brain, which would thus overt... |

A short while back, it was revealed that an increasing number of male athletes was starting to show the classic signs of eating disorders, prompted by their desire to be more competitive and faster than their direct rivals.

Anorexia is not necessarily an issue exclusively connected to food ingestion. More than an eating disease, it is a mental problem. A new research published in the Psychosomatic Medicine medical journal connects anorexia nervosa with an increased risk of suicide. "Suicidal ideas and behaviors by anyone with anorexia n... |

Because more and more girls are tempted to step into the pro-anorexia side, the French government tries to stop the phenomenon by promoting new laws that would reduce the number of websites encouraging this matter.

Anorexia is not all about food. More than an eating disease, this is a mind problem with deep impact upon the people around.

Whenever I happen to come across photos of Paris Hilton's face (and I use the word "face" in a very generic sense) splashed all over the Internet almost every day, I often find myself thinking that she must be a total nightmare for her parents. I mean, we all find it either very funny, or extremely gross and ann... |

Any person has an ideal weight depending on sex, age, and the general shape of the body. Bit food disorders can affect severely this, and also the emotional state. An adult consumes on average 14 kg (30 pounds) of food per week. We need food to ensure the function of our organs (like heart and liver) development and ... |

Well, a sad woman may not enjoy sex too much. A hungry one may not have energy to do it. And childbirth requires some recovering time... A new research made by a team led by Dr Frances A.

Despite the fact they look like dying spiders, anorexic women see themselves as little whales. But, the disease goes beyond the morbid appearance: it determines hair loss, dry skin and osteoporosis; nails stop growing and a feeling of being overwhelmed settles in. Menstruation turns irregular and can even disappear f... |

They may look worse than a spider, but women suffering of anorexia see themselves as fat as a hippo. And there is more to this disease than just extreme weight loss: hair loss, dry skin and osteoporosis; nails stop growing and a feeling of being overwhelmed settles in. In women, menstruation turns irregular and can e... |

There's nothing wrong in wishing to look good. But we must remember that how we look is a combination of genes, physical activity and food. However, for millions of people, food is not the pleasant activity it should be. In fact, it determines several mentally-linked conditions. 1.Anorexia. No matter how thin he... |

The obsession of these… 'living skeletons' for not gaining weight and the relentless pursuit of thinness may seem funny. But anorexia nervosa can lead to death in 10 % of the cases, besides the severe illnesses, due to the emaciation. Anorexia usually installs in adolescence, but it also appear throughout ... |

Keira Knightley has recently claimed that she is "twice the size" of most Hollywood actresses. This may mean one of two things. She either suffers from a severe, undiagnosed eye condition that makes her see herself about 10 times larger than she really is, or she's simply delusional. And while I like Keira too m... |

I know you're probably sick of hearing about Jenna Jameson losing weight and looking like her lost twin sister who passed away ten years ago and was unfortunate enough not to be buried in the ground... After all, why is she that important for us to keep a close eye on her, just to see that she lost another pound... |

For quite some time now, I've been writing about Jenna Jameson and particularly about the way she has begun to lose her trademark good looks. I mean, if at first, Jenna was this curvy (I believe that's the word I was looking for, and I'm not referring only to her breasts), today she is barely a shadow ... |

Keira Knightley is not one of the pleasantest persons on this planet and this doesn't come from me, but from the many who had the chance (or, should we call it bad luck?) of meeting her face to face. Aside from this, she is also considered very self-centered and self-involved; in short, she has the reputation o... |

Donatella Versace is certainly not the kind of woman that puts up with the way the media has of distorting facts and sometimes even of putting words in people's mouths; so, it comes as no surprise that she's now literally steaming mad, especially as the whole thing also involves her daughter and heir to the... |
