Medical student suffering anorexia nervosa exercises 3 hours daily until feet comes bleeding

30kg at her lightest...

A female college student in Melbourne, Australia, suffered from a severe eating disorder and weighed only 30 kg at her lightest, just like a living skeleton. Although she was seriously malnourished, she still forced herself to exercise for 3 hours or until her feet bleed, and, finally, she had to make changes with the school intervention.

Sarah Rav, a medical student, recalled that she only took 300-400 calories a day in the worst situation. She would have no-fat, no-sugar-added tub of yoghurt for breakfast.

In addition to dieting, Sarah used to wake up at 2:30 am to jog for 1.5 hours and would do weightlifting for another 1.5 hours at night. She tried to hide her illness from the family by wearing some loose clothes, but her skinny face couldn't lie.

What made Sarah change was Monash University, where she said that unless the doctor and psychologist thought she had recovered, she would not be allowed to continue school. While Sarah wanted to be a doctor more than everything, she immediately stopped exercising for 2 months, tried to eat hamburgers, muffins, and fast food, which she had been reluctant to eat. She later exercised to build muscle, instead of only counting calories of food.

"Lunch would consist of a protein bar and a diet coke, and dinner would be limited to vegetables such as lettuce, zucchini or broccoli with a low-calorie dressing or nothing at all. I was hungry all the time and absolutely hated what I was eating," she talked to the media.

She later began to lose hair and hd bruises all over the body. Every time after running, she would have nosebleeds. She also had problems with rotten lips, which made her difficult to eat or talk.

Luckily, she quickly gained 19 kg and returned to the normal height and body mass index (BMI) level. She is now on the social network to appeal to the public to pay attention to patients with eating disorders, and also held a 12-week body sculpting activity, hoping to help those in need.
