Answer

i’m in the same boat as your friend and can guarantee she should see a doctor and a dietician. her heart rate, blood pressure, metabolic panel, and electrolytes might be dangerous, which is why it’s crucial to see a doctor. there’s also starvation mode and refeeding syndrome to be weary of and discuss with a doctor. increasing calories rapidly after long periods of restricting can send the body into a state of shock, but not increasing calories fast enough isn’t good either. tldr, there’s so many possible complications and it’s extremely dangerous to gain weight from a low bmi alone. please tell her not to worry about her mom’s reaction and to trust the doctors and the process.
