I've been doing IF for a week or so now. I noticed that at first 20 hours was hard, but now my body can easily blow out over 30 hours without a problem. However, outside of the fact you look really weird to others, when does fasting become an eating disorder? At what point does it go from fasting to full blown anorexia? I've had issues in the past with being anorexic, however I feel like im just giving my body to simply not eat anymore and brushing it under the dieting carpet

i would say when it affects your health, i mean disorder implies something wrong. if your BMI is within health limits its shouldnt be a problem however if you start getting symptoms like light headedness, dizziness definetly not a good thing but im not a doctor

If it affects your health and you can't stop doing it, then you've got some kind of fixation on it. I think it's a good idea, because your body was made to have food at uncertain times, or unexpected lacks of it for a day. Digestion also uses a lot of energy and organs.

This. Problem with anorexia isn't the fasting, it is the body dysmorphia that caused the fasting in the first place. If you actually need to lose weight, then it's not anorexia. If you are underweight and malnourished, then fasting is anorexia.
