It is extremely dangerous.
Go online and read about the people who have, or almost have died from it.
It's not something you can control forever.

Don't do it. Not only will this erode your esophagus, it will also damage the enamel on your teeth. It is not a good weight loss solution. There are alot of health risks in doing this. Your body will think that you are starving it and store the fat, which is probably what you are trying to get rid of. There is also a great risk of becoming bulimic. If your doing this you should stop and get help.

Yup... A huge risk... Bulimia... Was bulimic myself for a period of time... Teeth problems, throat problems, acidity in stomach changed... There are loads of problems from it... And to be honest I didn't even lose that much weight, it seriously isn't worth doing that... Healthy eating and exercise is the way to go :)

it may turn into a risk cuz your body might get used to getting the food out instead of breaking it up into the vitamins and minerals it needs, which may lead to anorrexia. go on a reall diet for life, all famous ppl do it and they look gr8 but they r also healthy.

erm yes it is.
It's like coz ur food's already in your stomach mixed with gastric acids (mainly HCL) and if u force yourself to vomit the food out again, those acids might corrode your throat or sth.
generally it's unhealthy really. people do it coz they feel guilty after eating more than they wanted to when they are on diet. honesly dieting needs lots of self-discipline...

It is dangerous.
1. The throat passages can rupture and bleed. (stomach acid and fatigue)
2. The body will become mal-nourished and begin to fail. (Mentally first, and it does not take long)

Yes, it is risky. Barfing affects your digestive system.

Definately! Throwing up erodes your esophagus and your teeth. A little exercise is a much better way to go.
