Really random, but if your body weight were suddenly halved, would you still be alive?!

[eatsleepread]

I don't know what made me think of this. Probably the depressing realisation that if I weighed half as much, I'd be a skinny Minnie, but very much still alive and kicking!
So I really need to lose weight.
You?

I’d probably die well before reaching half my current weight (4st for 5ft7).

I’m fat. If my body weight was halved I’d need to be in hospital on a bunch of drips. Then I’d just about be alive but really not doing well.

I might be alive but I'd be very unwell. I'd weigh just under 6 stone, I'm 5'4.

I doubt it

5 stone.. I'm 5 foot 4 so, borderline alive

I'd be about 28kg so probably not at 5'8!

I'd think at 26kg I'd be dead.

I would weigh 5 stone, so I'd possibly still be alive but I'd be very very thin.

I'm 5'7".

4 stone so probably not. I was 5 stone at my worst with anorexia.

Probably be dead, but then again I've worked in an eating disorders clinic and have seen patients alive (and very unwell) under 5 stone, so it's possible!

Yes but I would be functioning and would be skeletal

I'd be dead or at best very nearly dead.

Thanks OP that's cheered me up.

I'd be 3st 12 at 5ft 5, BMI 8.9. I don't think I'd be alive?

I'd be 5 stone or so, so yes I suppose so - not very healthy though!

I am currently borderline obese. If I lost half my body weight I would weigh 6.5 stone, so alive but skeletal (I'm 5 foot 6)

Probably not. I'd be 3.5 stone so don't think it would be possible to survive.

Yep, I'd be 6st though!

Borderline dead

Another one who would be deaded.

I'd be 5 stone 9. 5'6". Probably alive but rather unwell.

Nope I would be about 3st 10lb so I think I would be dead?

Potentially. I would have thought I'd be dead, but I read a news article about a girl with anorexia who had recovered, but weighed only 29kg at her lowest weight, and I'd be a bit more than that. She looked very unwell though (obviously).

I would finally be a healthy weight

No.
