Death by starving yourself (which is what you're talking about) will bring your weight to zero.

But it is not a good way to go. Barfing also damages your teeth, due to the stomach acid. You don't want to be an emaciated corpse with bad teeth, do you?

As you starve yourself, your body fights back by making you hungrier. That's just nasty.

To you reach a good weight, the key is to eat the right stuff. A good doctor can tell you. For me, Atkins worked great because I never felt hungry. Cut the carbs, stay away from high-fructose corn syrup, stuff like that. It works for most people.

in every response i read that it helps you lose a lot of weight but i've recently heard health news that it doesn't always make you lose weight. sometimes you still get the calorie content even with throwing it up, which is totally not worth it.

& if you throw up too much, then your body will get adapted & you'll keep throwing up even if you want to stop. this is when it can lead to serious health problems, possibly death.

Go see a therapist if you think that's the only and best way to lose weight. Eat right and exercise regularly. Bulemia is dangerous. You can rot your teeth, burn sores into your esophagus, which can lead to esophageal cancer as well as stomach cancer. You don't ingest important nutrients which means your body has to take them from your bones, which makes your bones brittle and susceptible to breaks. Have fun with that.

yes you can, but not only are you basically starving your self. You are also destroying your stomach and esophagus.

I really don't want to humor this question, but yes, you do, and the amount varies from person and severity. You do gain a lot of health problems though.

Yes you can lose weight from throwing up, but not everyone does lose weight from doing that.Some people actually gain weight or maintain their weight.
I don't know how fast you would lose the weight, but you could damage your insides and your teeth.Not to mention your complexion.So this might make you skinny , but it might make you ugly and unhealthy too.

Well it is not very healthy because you do not get all the nutrients from the food. Also do not do this because you know when you throw up you get that afawl taste and that is your stomach acid. So when your vomit is coming up through your throat it will destroy some of it because of that strong acid. Also when it is in your mouth that acid will destroy your teeth. The best way how to lose weight is eat small amounts of food throught the day also keep track of your calories if you are really concerned. I think there is a machine to tell you how many calories you burned each day.

well yeah its like starving...

idk if its a lot fast but if it is that means your skin would have time to adjust and you'd be all flabby. and it DESTROYS your teeth. so you may be skinny but you're more ugly than if you were just fat...

Yeah but its not healthy. You end up messing up your insides later on. How fast It depends I guess.

cherica
isn't it a little obvious that you will lose weight throwing up? how much depends on how much you're throwing up lor, you throw up one pound, u lose one pound + some water weight.

in the end, your brain shrinks and you become some mindless vegetable lying in the hospital half-dead, you'll be very light indeed.

other than that, you should only be throwing up if you're pregnant. so in that case, no you won't be losing weight. you'll be gaining POUNDS and POUNDS.

OMG are you kidding me don't you see the news and read about all of the horrible physical things that happen to you when you do this.

Maybe five pounds, but that's probably from your teeth and hair falling out....oh and the shade of grey your skin turns is really hot too....

Yes you will, but you are better chopping of a body part. You'll lose weight doing that as well and you will heal faster. Don't do it sweetie.

yes, and it depends on how often you throw up and what you eat before hand. and you dont try it, people get addicted to it and cant stop and can die from it.

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No

yes you can but you mess your body up like that and the results you are intending will be reversed.. weight gain.. very dangerous practice... just do like 20 minutes of workout like 2-3 days a week and you will see results in about few months... Interested in fast results... eat healthy, do some exercise everyday, watch the times you eat, drink alot of water and eat alot of fresh fruit and veggies

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



derick
Yes, you do lose weight from being bulemic but it's a step up from anorexia as far as safeness goes (not at all safe).

Basically, all your stomach acid that should be digesting the food you are eating will obviously come up and digest the insides of your esophagus and your mouth. Eventually, you'll start having painful sores around these areas which could turn ugly.

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



T C
sure! After your body starts to recognize starvation, it will use reserves of energy stored in your body. It will use both fat and muscle. You can achieve the same results without throwing up. Just quit eating!

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



L|P
You do! But the acid from your stomach when u throw up damages the walls of your esophagus and rottens your teeth. In my opinion, just don't, unless u wanna be skinny and have rotten teeth..eeooww!

Was this answer helpful to you?  Yes  /  No



Todd
NO. You lose weight from a proper diet combined with a responsible exercise program. Forcing yourself to vomit not only deprives you of needed calories, vitamins, minerals, etc., it also removes the enamal from your teeth (the acid in the vomit comes from stomach acid), causes bad breath ( which the boy you are obviously trying to impress will NOT like), and a slew of other medical problems. Google bulimia and read about it if you think it is a good idea.

Don't start, you will get addicted and won't be able to stop even if you want to. You will be tired, moody, and always urging to eat then get sick. If you are looking to lose weight consult a doctor.

if anyone gives you the answer to this, they are sick. Have you ever googled bulemia, do you realize that it can cause heart disorders, even in just a few weeks, that your teeth will most likely rot out, and that your fingers will smell like vomit. Do you realize that its alot easier to just avoid bad foods and obsessive eating than to puke at your own free will? I think that you need to get the REAL facts, and see whats more important, how many people want to be friends with someone who enjoys puking, and smells like vomit???? Heres an idea, cut the calories a bit, exercise, and leave the puking to the pregnant ladies with morning sickness.
