Singer and actress Lindsay Lohan has hit out at reports that she's anorexic, insisting her appetite is far more healthy than most of her contemporaries.
The star's recent weight loss has been the focus of much tabloid speculation, but Lohan insists her changing figure is the result of hormonal changes as she grows up and
becomes a woman, Internet portal imdb reported.
She complains, "Even the doctor (I saw) today - he was like, 'Are you anorexic? Are you making yourself throw up? Are drugs involved?'
"And I was like, 'Are you saying this because you've read it in magazines? Because I don't!' People lose weight when they grow up; they lose their baby fat. But you know,
I'm around girls, even in the movies, that are like, 'I don't feel good, I just ate a lot, I'm going to throw up'.
"Like at the Vanity Fair photo shoot (for the cover of the July 2003 issue) of all the young stars (including Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Mandy Moore and Hilary Duff, among
others) no one ate. I was going straight to the pasta, and the other girls were eating salad. And I'm the one people say (has an eating disorder)."
