throwing up food and loosing weight?

Question

I have friend who gained 15 pounds from being pregnant and in 11 days we have our big senior pics. Well she have decided that she wonts to eat everyday and then throw it all up after each meal. Will that even help her loose weight in just 10 days? and will anything bad happen to her body?

Answer 1

that is going to backfire. it makes her metabolism slow down to the point that it will not burn calories just store them as fat. she should try eating about 1300 calories a day and make sure it is good foods like veggies, fruits, and proteins like fish, and chicken, and exercising. drink LOTS of water. it helps you feel full too. throwing up will also rot the skin in your throat if u do it long enough. there is no safe or healthy way to lose 15 pounds in 10 days.

Answer 2

First off, is she still pregnant? If she is, she NEEDS to be eating to feed her baby.

Secondly, ask your friend how much she loves her teeth. When you eat and throw up, you bring up stomach acid, which can not only rot your teeth, but can cause severe damage (you can actually burn holes from the acid) to her, esophagus, etc.

Third, while this may start out as wanting to look good for a senior picture, this is a serious disease that affects millions of people worldwide. For most people with this illness it's hell, and they cannot control this. It becomes more than a 'oh gotta lose a couple pounds', to becoming an illness.

Your friend should not do this anyway, but she should NOT even be considering this if she is pregnant. She is/was obviously not ready to have a baby.

Answer 3

Yes. it will wear the enamel off of her teeth (even in just 10 days) and it can cause her esophogus to tear and kill her. I'm not even kind of exaggerating. I know that tons of people are bulemic and they somehow don't die, but it is TOO risky. BUT she can loose at least some or maybe even most of that weight in 10 days if she will just be really careful about what she eats. Don't let her starve herself either, because that can actually make her GAIN weight...just eat really healthy foods and excercise and it will most definitely help.

Answer 4

Yes something bad will happen. It's plain stupid to try to lose the weight that fast, its called bulimia. She can hurt her esophagus, her stomach her throat. For Gods Sake she has a Baby if the pics were so important she shouldn't have gotten pregnant. Tell her to grow up and behave like a mature mother.

Answer 5

She can become bulimic. Eating and purging (throwing up). The baby can die from no nutrition and for her it would be called a miscarriage or the baby can come out with birthdefects. Her teetch can become rotten from the stomach acids from throwing up. Her eyes will become bloodshot and she'll get dark black circles beneath her eyes. She can also get bad skin because she'll be lasking certain vitamins. She can die from being bulimic and she also cannot get all of the food out, so she'll look fatter. SHe should eat healthy and not worry about a school picture. Tell her to take care of herself and stop worrying about what other people think!

Answer 6

Bad idea. Bulimia is bad, screws up your electrolytes and burns the enamel off your teeth (longterm). Why doesn't she just go on a crash diet instead? Still not great, but better than eating and throwing up each meal?

Answer 7

This is a very dangerous process. It's called bullimia. Making yourself throw up can help you lose weight, but the damage it causes your body doesn't come close to justifying this as a good choice for losing weight.

She can cause erosion of her esophagus, it can throw her electrolytes way out of balance which is VERY dangerous...it can ruin her teeth.

This is not a wise choice.

Answer 8

It's called Bulimia. She needs to get professional help straight away. If she is having a baby then god help her and her baby. All of this because she wants to look oh so good in senior pics? How vein and stupid your friend is. AND yes this will lead to very serious health problems.

Answer 9

if she throws up EVERYTHING yes it could be harmful.try to talk her out of it she could think its an easy wat to lose and keep doing it.and we all know that can be VERY bad!!she would probably lose some in 11 days but its not worth it for one stupid picture thats not going to mean a thing in a few months.be a good friend and exercise with her or something ,no puking!!

Answer 10

Yeah Im pretty sure if shes carrying the baby still..

Itll be dead for too long

If shes pregnant she has a reason to be bigger.
