Eating Disorders

i was given floroxitine (sorry for bad spelling) a form of Prozac for eating disorders- it helped level my moods so i was less likely to act on something, or be triggered. it is especially given for bulimia because it supresses apetite leading to less binging and purging.

Yes, very much so.

apparently people think that picking their noses and eating their boogers is ok but it is not. in fact, it is disgusting.people can kiss all they want, but to me picking your nose and eating your boogers is a completely different thing.

It's natural,, even monkey pick their noses

Anorexia Nervosa is NOT a choice, one does not "become" anorexic. It is a mental illness that has a side effect of significant weight loss - so on this basis, someone medically overweight can BE anorexic, it just means that their symptoms will cause them to loose weight at a dangerous rate and, if they survive, they will have a BMI classified as anorxic.

People suffering from Bulimia may experience loss of the gag reflex which is when something goes too far into the mouth. The cough you make is the gag and bulimics often lose this. Females may experience a loss of their menstuation periods.

The simple answer is that you can't. Firstly, muscle is easier for your body to consume than fat, so the first thing that will happen is you will become very weak but not actually lose much in the way of fat.

Then, when your body realises it is starving it will start converting

anything you do intake into fat rather than letting you burn it off through normal exercise.

Once you finally DO start burning significant quantities of fat you will

already be pretty unhealthy and if you were trying to lose weight to look good you will have failed, because your eyes and skin will look terrible.

Finally when you give in to instinct and start eating again to prevent yourself from starving to death your body will remain in "storage mode" for some time and during this period you will put back on every single pound of fat that you lost.

There is no better way of losing weight than a frugal, balanced diet complemented by regular exercise. Remember also that muscle is heavier than fat, so if you are toning up you will lose fat and appear more lean, but actually gain weight on the scales.

when you don't eat your bodies fat starts to decease and eventually you start to lose weight.

but this is not a smart thing to do because you could get sick or have constant stomach aches.

It can also lead to heart problems, bone problems and in severe cases, death.

If you restrict the amount of calories you eat each day to between 1200-1500 and exercise each day u will eventually see a change, it's the long way but the safe way.

Binge drinking, for men, is defined as consuming three or more drinks in an hour. This behavior is highly dangerous, as alcohol poisoning and poor-decision making are highly likely.

Make rules and follow them. Like in that special K advert were she has the postit notes in the different places, you could do that and have nothing were you would normally keep the food. Keep yourself busy for example read a book, clean your room, clean the house, turn music on and start dancing, arrange to go out, go for a walk, or try something as simple as drinking a glass of water, becasue sometimes your body is thirsty but we automatically think its Hungary!

Anorexia is part of the "body dysmorphic" syndrom. It's a mental condition that must be treated as soon as possible. It's far better to seek treatment as soon as the condition is detected and before serious injury occurs. Anorexia will manifest itself differently in different people. It's like asking how quickly someone will loose weight when dieting. It depends on activity levels, what they are still eating and body metabolism.

When you can litterally see your bones, and when it looks like your arms & legs are so skinny they could break!
When you can actually see your ribs stick out and your back ribs too. You don't want to have an eating disorder.

Over 8 million individuals suffer from Eating Disorders in America each year.

You don't. Being anorexic is not healthy, and one can not look anorexic without being anorexic, or having some other health problem. Even a lot of exercise will not actually make you look anorexic, unless you're body starts autocannibalizing itself.

Yes. In an attempt to conserve energy and nutrients found within the blood, the female body that is undernourished (as would be the case with anorexics) will stop menstruating. If this continues for a long period of time, it can cause permanent infertility.

Have to consume good amount of fats, proteins and carbs from your daily calories, calorie intake depends upon your height, weight and activity levels.
If you are trying to lose weight you should take mostly 60 grams of fats from your daily calorie intake else it can be 80-100 grams (1 gram of fat contains 9 calories).
The standard method used by the nutritionists to estimate the protein requirement is, we have to multiply our weight by 0.37(if weight in pounds), else multiply by 0.8(if weight in kilo grams). The result will be your protein requirements (in grams) per a day and the remaining will be carbs and others.

You will probably gain more weight, once you start eating normally your body will go into over time to restore all the lost fat, that and if you starve yourself you will still have a high body fat percentage, because your body will use your muscle first then as a VERY last resort start using your fat, the best way to go is using muscle supplements and vitamins.

Roughly 1 in every 250 American suffers from anorexia.

The three main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge-eating disorder.

In their lifetime, an estimated 0.6 percent of the adult population in the U.S. will suffer from anorexia, 1.0 percent from bulimia, and 2.8 percent from a binge eating disorder. 14

Women are much more likely than males to develop an eating disorder. They are three times as likely to experience anorexia (0.9 percent of women vs. 0.3 percent of men) and bulimia (1.5 percent of women vs. 0.5 percent of men) during their life. They are also 75 percent more likely to have a binge eating disorder (3.5 percent of women vs. 2.0 percent of men).14

The mortality rate among people with anorexia has been estimated at 0.56 percent per year, or approximately 5.6 percent per decade, which is about 12 times higher than the annual death rate due to all causes of death among females ages 15-24 in the general population.

Because you should NEVER starve yourself. Look, let's get real. You wanna lose 65 pounds. You didn't gain that wait overnight, so you're not gonna lose it overnight either. If you drop your caloric intake by 500 calories per day and increase your physical activity by 500 calories per day, you will lose about two pounds per week. So, theoretically, you can achieve your target weight in about eight months.

Actually, you won't lose much weight because a five foot, five person who weighs 120 pounds is basically already at it's ideal weight, henceforth, it would be hard for a lean person to lose a lot of weight through fasting. Actually, the more overweight you are, the more weight you lose through fasting and overweight people lose lots of weight through fasting faster as well. :) Hope this helps!!

barf, hurl, blow chunks, puke, vomit, up chuck, gag, came up the wrong way....etc

Try to talk to her about it when there's nobody else around - don't seem demanding or pushy, just like you're concerned. She/he might open up to you, but the normal behavier is to be defensive. If they seem to act uneasy or strange when you ask, tell someone you can trust that you're worried about your friend's strange behavier. You may feel like you're telling on your friend, but you are helping them. Eating disorders can be serious.

no they can have the symptoms of anorexia buttttttt technically your anorexic if your underweight with all the other symptoms

stop drinking firstly, secondly, continuing vomiting is healthy if you are in a very bad way,

as alcohol poisons, this removes alcohol.

Bulimia Nervosa, always come from people with a poor body image. (body image beeing:how you look at yourself.) Bulimia can be suggested by another person, your self, or the media as a "quick fix". However wont work in the long or short term at all.

i hope this helps,:)

any other questions write on my message board:)

Eventually, yes. Anorexia tends to cause malnutrition, which will affect skin and bone condition.
