What misconceptions do you have about the symptoms of bulimia and anorexia? I ask because I see a lot of incorrect answers about, mostly, bulimia. I've been studying both disorders fairly extensively in my psychology class. Most people with bulimia aren't extremely skinny. Once they do reach a certain low body weight, they in the binging and purging subtype of anorexia. A person, diagnostically, cannot be both anorexic and bulimic. Well, the first criteria is that they consume more food in a specific time period than people usually would. Also, vomiting isn't the only compensatory behavior that bulimics will engage in, although it is the most common. People may also take diuretics and laxatives, get enemas, overly exercise or starve themselves to compensate for the large amount of food that they consume. Most people who are bulimic stay at a normal or above-normal body weight. This is because, when you throw something up, your body has often absorbed many of the calories that the food contains anyway.

How closely is Veganism related to eating disorders like anorexia? I notice that the Vegans are mostly very young, and are controlling their diet more for fear of weight than anything else. It makes me think Vegan is just a PC term for bulimia/anorexia. The primary features of both anorexia and bulimia are that they are control driven behaviour. Study after study comes up with this. Sorry but when I read answers from Y!A Vegans they are anorexic and bulimic style asnswers. It is all about control. Worms? Who said anything about worms? Oddly enough you can get them from salads too.

Why does recovoring from anorexia put you in a hypermetobolic state? I am recovering from anorexia and I`m being told by doctors that I have to eat a lot because my metabolism is going through the roof right now.

What are the first signs of anorexia? I have a friend who I am worried about because she might have anorexia. She's not underweight but she's been acting more and more strange over the past several months. She recently said to me that she doesn't eat dinner that much anymore because she "just doesn't feel hungry enough." And she seems to get a lot of stomach aches and throws up once in a while which she claims is a stomach virus. I told her I think she might have an eating disorder and she denied it.

Surely the BMI limit for men should be a little higher than womens BMI limit. because males are naturally heavier, shouldnt males underweight BMI limit to be hospitalised should be slightly higher than females. Surely if men are naturally heavier, they are more underweight than females if their BMIs are 13

Can an overweight person claim they have anorexia? My friend is overweight and she has an eating disorder, i don't doubt it for one second. She doesn't throw up her food but she eats very little and is constantly counting calories. She is going to the doctor soon. She says she has anorexia.

Why is there more focus on Anorexia than there is on Obesity? Or I guess the better question is, Why is there a more negative stigma regarding Anorexia and bulimia than there is regarding obesity? I often see things in the media telling women to be proud of their pudgy bodies, but often wonder why. I understand there are some reasons for having some extra baggage, ie having children, but since more people die of obesity or being over weight (than those who die of starving themselves) shouldn't it be the one to have the negative stigma? Maybe it is because Anorexia and bulimia are considered an illness that they get the more negative stigma and more attention is associated with their issue.

Anorexia???? I've heard about all the effects of anorexia: your hair, your teeth, and nails will become weak and brittle, and you WILL die. or if you just stop eating, the weight loss is only temporary and you will gain it all back. If this is so, then why do celebrites who suffer eating disorders like Nichole Richie and Mary-Kate Olsen, have a full head of beautiful long hair, perfect white teeth, etc? Some drop to almost 70 pounds, and they still aren't dead? I'm just curious, I fear my best friend might have an eating disorder. I haven't seen her eat, and I'm with her all day at school. She always says she had a huge breakfast, or the food at school is all junk so she'll just wait until she gets home to eat. I don't know if she's telling the truth or not. I don't want her to die, or lose her hair, or any of that. One more question, does not eating AUTOMATICALLY make you anorexic? no right?

Anorexia...? Okay so I have to ask someone and I can't ask a family member or friend. So is just eating meal replacements or not being hungry a sigh of anorexia? I mean should I see a therapist? I've thought about it. If you want to hear more you can email me. baby_flower1991@yahoo.com

Ive recently not eaten more than 500 calories a day, and when ive binged ive taken diet pills and laxatives. I hate myself and feel so ill. secondly, if i have anything, its skimmed milk, will this stop me getting oesteoporosis? Please help me and dont post anything hurtful x

Anorexia?? Hey everyone, I'm Kylie. I have an identical twin sister Amy (15), and an older sister Jessica (18). When Jessica was 16, her boyfriend died. She was extremely depressed and was bulemic. She got her weight down to under 90 lbs, and she was 5'8. Now, my sister seems to be the same way...only anorexia. Both of us have always been thin, but recently she has become weak and no longer do her clothes fit...they are extremely baggy. Her ribs are beginning to show and at home, she has less energy. She puts on a smile at school, but at home she becomes a different person, and blocks me out. She does not eat and now weighs 91 lbs, when she is 5'5. I worry about her, but everytime I say something to her, she gets mad and and eventuall breaks down...saying that she is just stressed. I want her to be healthy, but now I am becoming stressed. My parents are divorced and we live with our father, who is never home. (My mother is not an option). Any advice as to how to approach her...or anything? Kylie
