Question: How come bulimic people arent really all that skinny!? And another question!.!.!?
Ok, my friend purges basically all her food, but do the calories stay in you!? Once you swallow the food, do you keep all (or most) of the calories!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Your body does absorb the calories!. It soaks into your body!. Your friend has deeper problems and usually with eating disorders (and trust me, I would know) its about how horrible you look on the inside!. Bulimic people and anorexic people will all have severe health problems eventually, if it is not fixed!. Anorexics and not any sicker or unhealthier than bulimics!. They may weigh less, but that does not matter at all!. Swollen glands, sore throats, teeth problems- all of those things happen to bulimics!. So, weight is never the best judge!. Hope I helped!Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm sure some of the food stays in her when she is purging so she is getting some calories but is losing most when she throws the food back up!. A lot of bulimic people retain weight because although they are eating, once they throw up, the body is bascially being starved!. When a body feels as though it is starving it will store fat longer because it knows it needs to get the nutrition from somewhere!. It will also begin to basically take nurishment from your muscles so any good lean muscle a bulimic might have will deteriorate!. Purging is just basically a bad idea all around!. Tell your friend no matter how much she brushes purging will eventually rot her teeth!. It also weakens your heart leaving you succeptable to strokes or heart attacks no matter how young you are!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Okay for your first question, it's because your body throws itself into "starvation mode" where it thinks its not getting enough nutrition so your metabolism slows down to save the "precious fat" you have in your body!. So the calories you do consume get burned verrrry slowly!.

Second question, I'm not entirely sure!. I don't think they would though!. Like when you throw up when you're sick you feel really skinny afterwards so I think you throw up all the calories!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well you see bulimic people binge eat!.!. so they eat a TON then try to starve themselves!. This is really hard on your metabolism!.!.!. meaning it slowes it down so you cant metabolize food as efficiently!. therefore you cant eat as much or you will gain wieght because your body cannot use the calories properly or efficiently!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

once its out, it is out so the calories comes out when you purge!. however purging slows your metabolism down so you will end up gaining weight!. try doing less eating but eating very often!. spread your meals out throughout the day!. and try doing cardio exercises if you are concerned about weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

some types of food, such as carbohydrates start to digest in the mouth!. You do keep some of the calories!. But your friend wont have to worry about eating solid food for much longer, Bulimia rots out teeth!. and tears up the esophagus from the stomach acid!. You should try to get her professional help!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, it's nothing like that!. But what happens is that since she is suffering from malnutrition, her body goes into a state of panic!. Whenever she DOES manage to digest some small amount of food, it immediately stores it just in case it can't get the nutrients it needs later!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

well it doesnt happen over night
and some of them are
it doesnt work after 20 minutes of eating something, thats pretty much pointless
its not the calories you have to worry about either
maybe you should take a class on nutrition and

tell your friend to stop, its extremely unhealthy and could turn into a horrible disorderWww@Answer-Health@Com

Because bulimic people often binge on lots of food, and some of it gets digested!. ANd some don't purge except through exercise!.

I don't know how much is purged for your friend, but that's really dangerous and she's gonna mess up her whole body and teeth!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Because some bulimics!.!.!.tend to binge on food and then puke it up!. But when they binge its not on an apple!.!.!.its like on all the donuts in crispy creme!. Then while they are still eating some of that gets digested!.

Though you should tell her to stop, its bad for your teeth and throat!. So she'll be thin, with nasty broken and brown teeth!.!.!.

I think I'd rather be fat!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Your body has a chance to digest some of the food and absorb some nutrients and calories while you are eating so if you throw up a few minutes after you eat your body has already absorbed some of the calories!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

yes!. Calories start being absorbed as soon as you put the food in your mouth!. That's why most bulimics maintain a healthy weight, or even gain weight!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

tell your "friend" to stop throwing up, it's not healthyWww@Answer-Health@Com
