How long does it take a girl to lose weight if she is bulimic?
Question:
for example: if the girl is 5'6" and weighs 160, she binges and purges 2 times a day, about how long would it take for it to be visible that she has a problem
Answers:
If you're thinking about doing this, don't do it. The lasting effects would be horrible and just take the safe way by diet and exercise. If you think you have a problem or if you think you're overweight or w/e then go to a doctor. But, do not go bulimic.
never binging and purging doesnt work all that well just stop eating or oh damn go on a diet *gasp* quit doing it just for the attention
a longgggggggggggggggggggggggggg... time bulminic ppl are usually fat
the binge can't be too big or she will not lose any of the calories she consumed. the calories she didn't purge will stay in her body, because she can't purge everything eaten during the binge cycle...so this, by looking at her weight she would have to eat very little and throw it up to be able to lose...but some bulimics stay at their same weight with out lossing any weight and some may lose from 3-10lbs a week, also bulimics drink a lot of water and some don't purge but exercise for hours until they think they lost the calories.
If you starve the body it goes into hibernation mode and so if any food is put into it, the body holds on to that.fat and all.and stores it for 'later'. So it is a vicious cycle that doesnt work.not to mention the harm it does to your esophagus.
Thats why the only way to lose weight is to eat less cr@p, eat healthy foods.5 sml meals a day, and move more..dont be so lazy and work that extra bit off your butt!!
What kind of a problem? Your teeth will start rotting from the stomach acid every time you purge...it shouldn't take too long before the acid starts to eat away at the enamel, so maybe within 6 months to a year you will ruin your teeth. :You may get pneumonia if you aspirate while you are purging. Then you will end up in the hospital, and they can tell from what is cultured in your lungs that you were purging, so they will know you have a problem. If you are eating like a pig, your friends and family will notice that, and know you have a problem. Do you want someone to notice you, or do you want to lose weight?
If you want to lose weight, you need to start eating healthy. You can eat lots and lots of healthy food and still lose weight. Eat raw veggies and fruits, lots of them. It takes lots of energy to digest them, there is lots of fiber in them, and they still provide you with energy and vitamins. Snack on popcorn without butter, and apples. Drink lots of water. Don't drink sodas, even diet sodas. They leach the calcium out of your bones and you can end up with osteoporosis when you are your mom's age, and that isn't very old. Do something active. Ride a bike, go for a walk, skate, walk in the mall, even jump rope at home. You can do yoga, or tai chi, and you will burn lots of calories and tighten up your body and you won't even know it is happening and one day your clothes will be loose. You need to stop eating junk food, stop thinking about binging, and start taking care of yourself. You can't make your problems go away by eating. :You can do this, and it will be easier than you thought. By the end of the year, you could be the size you want to be if you just think before you put the junk in your mouth. Don't take second helpings at dinner. Eat lots of vegetables, green beans are great for dieting. You can eat a whole can and not have hardly any calories at all, and they will fill you up. Don't eat late at night. Don't skip meals. eat breakfast...it's important. You can do this. Ask a guidence counselor for help or if there is a nutritionist at the school that could help you. You can do this without binging and purging.
Actually it could take a long time. I was bulimic for 6 months and purged 3 times a day or more.You cant see weight loss, but you can tell through their face(it gets noticably paler and thinner) their hair( gets thin and falls out) stomach( appears bloated) teeth(enamel is destroyed). They might complain of sore throats( from constant throwing up) or stomach pains (from laxatives). If this is a person you are concerned about, you should tell an adult. This is a very dangerous disease. It can damage their entire body. You also need to talk to your friend, but be gentle. Bulimics are very very moody.They can go from extreme happys to extreme anger.
