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?

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.
