They are different disorders but relate to one another closely. If you binge and purge then don't eat for a long while after that it could be you have a combination of the two.
Approximately 1,000 people in Africa suffer from bulimia and another 1,000 people are anorexic.
Lifetime rate of anorexia in the U.S. is 0.6%. For bulimia it is another 1.0%. For binge-eating disorder it is 2.8%.
if it ain't snitchin it ain't sellin
Roughly 1 in every 200 people suffer from an eating disroder. Of that, 1 in every 250 is anorexic. Bulimia claims a much higher percentage of people. (Anorexia affects about 1%, while bulimia affects about 5%)
Who becomes bulimic? Ha. Bulimia is an illness and it comes to people without reason. I'm bulimic and 'anorexic' I don't aggree with the doctor on anorexic as I'm fat, hence why I purge after I eat. It's a horrible illness
BEST. Like the best way to get into a car accident. Anorexic is a mind set. OCD helps but girl you just want to be skinny and that not anorexic.
Some may, but most do not. Purging (forcefully throwing up to rid the body of food) is a chaacteristic of another eating disroder known as bulimia.
Generally, it is not safe to become anorexic. If you have bulimia and need help controlling hte urge to binge when you are dieting and fasting, it would be beneficial to seek medical attention or advice. Incorporating a healthy lifestyle is a surefire way to lose and maintain a healthy weight. You can also incoporate exercise into this routine. Exercises such as running are great for burning fat.
Anorexia and bulimia are very serious eating disorders. People who are anorexic or bulimic can lose as much or as little weight possible. Some people can be 10 pounds underweight, some can be 40 pounds underweight. If you know someone who is anorexic or bulimic tell them that you are worried about them and strongly encourage them to get professional help.
Maybe. Purging after meals is characteristic of Bulimia, which is different, but no healthier, than Anorexia. Anorexia is characterized by the patient not eating very much to begin with.
I believe it is a method actor.
I think that celebrities become anorexic, because when they were children, or teens, their hero or heroins were anorexic, and their anorexic now. But maybe it is because they don't think they are skinny enough (which of course every celeb is), and try to go on a regular diet, but end up going anorexic. And regular girls see them doing it, so they go anorexic, and it just passes down generation to generation, and it gets worse and worse each century.
