Bulimics differ from anorexia in that bulimics binge and purge?

NoSome anorexics do binge and purge, but only tiny amounts and more consistently than bulimics.There are two main differences between anorexics and bulimics -Anorexics lose a significant amount of weight, and usually have an extremely low and unhealthy BMI. This disorder is characterised by excessive weight loss and a fear of putting on weight and getting fat. They are proud of their diets and how controlled they are regarding food.Bulimics on the other hand are not necessarily skinny; some are quite overweight, and others are in the normal weight range. They are ashamed by their purging activities and feel like their eating is uncontrollable.Both are equally dangerous disorders causing serious medical and psychological problems, and need to be treated by a physician or psychologist or psychiatrist


What makes people want to binge eat?

How much weight will you lose by starving?

It depends on how much you are eating and exercising. If you have a net caloric intake of around 800 a day, on average, you might lose around 4 lbs a week, in food weight, muscle, and fat. But after a while, your metabolism will slow down, or you will binge in hunger, or both. The weight you lose is very temporary.
