I don't think it is consistent with anorexia nervosa at all, particularly because people on that diet are not trying to achieve sub normal weight. To the contrary, they are typically well above normal weight and are trying to reach sub normal levels of body fat, often for athletic reasons.
The level of calorie restriction is also far from extreme. 1500 Calories for a 150 pound person. Call Weight Watchers and ask them how many calories a 150 pound person is consuming on their plans.
I also don't think that a person can display disordered eating in a 6-12 week period essentially by definition.
