So how dangerous is Bulimia in small amounts?
So I finished jogging yesterday (only four miles, but a good start) and tossed my info into MyFitnessPal for analysis. A guy my size burned about 500 calories from that. I was all happy and proud - until I looked up towards my meals and found that I essentially only burned off my lunch. That got me thinking, I put in an hour of effort and I'm certainly sore today, but I could have essentially accomplished the same goal with two fingers and 30 seconds.
I haven't made any decisions yet, this wouldn't be a daily event, and I'm certainly not going to quit exercising in favor of this frankly lazy and dangerous solution. But what if I were to purge maybe once or twice a week after eating something particularly full of calories as a treat (like a piece of chocolate or something)? Would that be so dangerous?

My girlfriend started out like you, and now she struggles with bulimia, anorexia and self-harm. Her heart is slowing down as a result, although now she is taking antidepressants, going to therapy twice a week, and she's starting at a clinic for eating disorders soon. I really wouldn't do it.

2 RepliesYou don't want to burn all your calories at the end of the day. Otherwise you'll be in the negative. A normal healthy functioning diet has calories remaining after the day's work, just not 1000s of extra calories.

2 RepliesThe point of eating is to get nutrients. If you eat and then work out, your body is still getting those nutrients and actually using them to build muscle and make your body healthier. When you simply throw it up, your body doesn't get those nutrients and it takes away from your actual muscle. So yes, even throwing up after eating every once and a while is not good for you.

You need a proper diet to go with the workout. You need food to burn and you will burn the fat along with it, so you will be staying healthy. Don't do something stupid.

Please don't do it.. my closest friend does it and she became addicted to it. You might get to the point where you'll feel like you can't go without doing it in the fear that you'll look bad. Even in small amounts it can have a great psychological effect on you. It might not just be once or twice a week. Since you put it as a lazy (but dangerous) solution you might get too lazy and just end up doing that instead. Long story short, you can easily become addicted to doing it and it can have horrible psychological effects. I love my friend a lot and seeing how much she hates it yet that she feels she needs to do it is horrible. For the record, i also run 4 miles daily, sometimes more and my shape is improving. There's no need to do more than that until your shape improves to the point where you can push yourself to do more. I can do much more than 4 miles but 4 miles daily is good enough to slowly improve yourself while not putting too much stress on your body.

You're a guy which makes this more sad than a girl doing it. Fingering your food hole isn't going to make you healthy.

2 RepliesJust don't eat if you're going to make yourself puke, the acids in your stomach can have a very bad effect on your teeth(frequently throwing up) and also give you stinky breath :S

I don't know about dangerous but it is most certainly stupid.
