Anorexia is when people starve themselves to an unhealthy degree based on mental issues, body dysmorphia, something like that. Someone intermittent fasting to lose excess weight and having success at it isn't the same.
The trouble is who do you ask? Because naturally people with eating disorders won't think, or say, they have an ED. They'll say they're living a healthier lifestyle and they're getting all the food they need.
I see this all the time with body builders. They're convinced they're healthy, but in reality, they absolutely despise food. It's a chore to them. And to top it off they have extreme body dysmorphia, often pushing them to drug use that kills them.
