Does Consuming Only Chips And Crackers For A Week Cause Death?

I have been avoiding food for almost a week now. Ive only ate a couple chips or crackers over the whole time. Ive been skipping meals for a good 6 months that I can recall at this point (only eating 1-2 a day at best). I know I have a problem and I have an appointment with my doctor next week. But sometimes I get anxious and think about horror stories Ive heard about people dying in their sleep from anorexia. Realistically, I haven t completely stopped consuming food since I have tiny morsels every once in a while so I wont die before I see my doc, right?

Thank you for posting your query. Do not worry so much . You will not certainly die. But I would suggest you to have a balanced diet of cereals, protein,vegetables , fruits. Drink loads of water. Do not skip meals. It can lead to peptic ulcer and other problems. Eat at regular intervals. Chips and crackers once a week will be just fine. Have a nice day
