Why is bulimia causing me weight loss?!


Question: Why is bulimia causing me weight loss?
I've been making myself sick since January: not really counting calories except making sure I have a 150-200 cal breakfast, then whatever I ate after that, I'd purge. Within 2 months, I went from 140 to 124 and still losing at 5'7. Is this just water weight or am I losing actual weight?

Answers:

...

your loosing actual weight. your only actually consuming 200 cals a day. thats a starvation diet. your body needs more then that so it burns your fat. please get help bulimia is no fun.

best of luck please try to get healthy.



Stop doing this to yourself immediately! It will destroy your esophagus. Vomit is acidic. It will destroy your teeth and body. You are at a healthy weight, the lower end of it. You should be eating at least 1500 calories a day as long as you aren't a couch potato. 150-200 calories isn't even enough for breakfast. A small meal is 300 calories. 150 is a snack. Also puking is bad. It's our bodies defense mechanism for toxins to our body, not essential nutrients.



STOP! You are losing your actual weight. This is so dangerous..I am not trying to scare you but thousands of girls are dying from bulimia. Instead of purging you need to just eat healthy things like salads and veggies. Bulimia is very serious. You are going to look like a skeleton if you don't stop and will become very weak, lose your hair, teeth will rot. This is so serious and I don't want you to put your life in danger.



Bulimia is an eating disorder in which person vomits up the food he or she had just eaten. You get the feeling of eating without the calories. However, there are several negative effects of this behavior. I would suggest you seek professional help to combat bulimia.



Uh....dear, you know you're starving yourself, right????? Normal calorie intake while losing weight is 1400 calories!!!!!
You're losing weight because you're starving yourself and you're losing fat and muscle.



Cause you make yourself thorw up all of the calories you eat, which is really bad for you. And its just water weight and muscle. But did you know soon bulimia will actually make you gain more weight than losing weight.



You're body is trying to get nourishment however it can, and it can't do that properly if you don't allow food to digest, so it eats its own tissue.

Stop with the bulimia!!!!! Nothing good has ever come from it.



The reason why it is causing you to lose weight is because you are throwing up most of the calories you put into your body.
