Making yourself throw up is EXTREMELY dangerous to your health. It can damage your esophagus, stomach, intestines, heart, lungs, teeth, gums, and on and on. It can lead to complete organ failure, which would be fatal. Please get help if you have already been doing this. See the link below for more information.

∙ 14y agoI'm sorry, but WikiAnswers is meant to be a place where questions are answered that are there to help or educate or assist a person. Suggesting a method that encourages vomiting as a method of weight loss, a sign of the Eating Disorder Bulimia (a potentially fatal and life-endangering disease) would not be helping, but would be promoting this dangerous life style.

Nutrition is absorbed instantly by the body, so even though it may seem to the individual that they are succeeding in purging all their food, they are not. And when balanced with the fact that your body becomes "puffy" as it retains water, the individuals cheeks become swollen leading to a "fat" looking face, the throught internally bleeds, organs can fail, the liver is at serious risk, the hair falls out, eyes become bloodshot, veins burst, teeth become yellow, teeth rot, the individuals potassium lowers and becomes life threatening, the individual suffers from black outs - combined with further medical complications - it is hardly worth purging at all.

As soon as you stop throwing up, you will gain the weight back. Why do it the hard way and make yourself so ill. When all you have to do to lose weight is eat healthy and do somecardio exercise. This path is much more rewarding and effective at fat burning. Cardio exercise (including cardio walking) is second to none for fat burning! Trust me. Anyone will tell you the same.

However, throwing up does greatly dehydrate you (part of the reason that repeated throwing up is so dangerous), so at first there will be some weight loss in fluid, but eventually you'll have what's called a fluid rebound where your weight will go up because your body is hanging onto fluid in an attempt to rehydrate. Over time, assuming there is no more throwing up, the fluids will even out.

∙ 13y agoThat would depend on your weight, activity, what and how much you ate, and when you ate in relation to the time of vomiting and when you go to sleep (or become generally inactive).
Purposefully vomiting as a weight loss method is VERY UNHEALTY, it can lead to malnourishment, esophageal ulcers, and much worse. If you do this compulsively it may be an eating disorder called Bulimia and is often associated with chronic depression and anxiety about gaining weight. If you think you have this problem PLEASE see a doctor about it and get help, if you are afraid of doctors or won't go for some reason at least confide in a friend and talk to your family or SOMEBODY about it. It is a very unhealthy practice and even if you become malnourished you may actually gain weight as your body responds to the large consumption of food coupled with low calorie and nutrition intake by hording energy in fat. In short, it doesn't work, it is unhealthy, and you are probably a very unhappy person at the moment if you are considering this, don't be ashamed, get help.

∙ 11y agoSweetie, you shouldn't throw up to loose weight. But if you're asking just for the heck of it, you should loose everything you ate that day, and maybe more.

Throwing up is a lot more likely to lose you your teeth and your health than to give you any lasting weight loss. The right way to weight loss is not to put any excess food into yourself in the first place. Throwing up is just plain stupid. Stomach acids will quickly damage your teeth and your throat. If you want to lose weight, keep a food journal, write down everything you eat and drink, and how much. Calculate how may calories that is. Figure out the right stuff to remove - everything obviously fatty and sugary as a start.

It depends on how much you weigh now and what you are doing to lose the weight. They say 1 pound a week is the healthiest, slow and steady weight loss is the best way to KEEP it off once you reach your goal, however, most of us don't have that kind of patience! You can lose 5 or more pounds a week healthily IF you are dieting correctly, exercising regularly and drinking a lot of water.
