actually if you know anything about anorexia patients you'll know that they
have a powerful urge to work out. Some commentators suggest this is because
of social conditioning, others point out that if you're starving it makes
sense for your body to push you to move and find food.
this concerns healthy people, BTW - not people that are being disease - starved.
