There have been reports, mostly through wiriting of monastaries, that some ancient Greeks might have partaken in starvation (anorexia) or throwing up after meals (bulimia), but the accuracy of these is not know. The starvation could have been due to religious fasting, and besides, most ancient cultures were known for glutton and a love of wine and fine foods.
