If u throw-up a lot would u loose weight?

Question

i am just wondering?

i am not sick....ok?

Answer 1

Sure. You'd also lose essential nutrients and electrolytes, which would eventually lead to heart failure. Continued vomiting erodes your esophagus, causing ulcerations and bleeding. Over a relatively short period of time, this will make you very sick, and will eventually kill you.

Someone who throws up intentionally to lose weight is suffering from an eating disorder called bulimia. If you are doing this, or are considering it, then you need to speak with someone, preferably a doctor or mental health professional. Losing weight requires commitment,a diet and exercise plan, and patience. Talk with your doctor about what is right for you.

You don't have to kill yourself in the process.

Answer 2

If you throw up, then yes you will loose weight. As long as you are purging immediately after eating whatever you were going to eat. If you wait to purge then it is pointless ... your body will absorb the callories. Purging, yes, is very bad for you. The problems that can be caused by Bulimia are endless. I went three weeks starving myself and purging everything that I did eat ... needless to say toward the end of it I would have short periods of time where my vision would go blurry and I could not see anything, I felt like I was going to pass out, my motor skills were impared and I could not do simple things such as walking a strait line of pouring a glass of water. The problems would only last about a minute or two, then clear up and come back ... Just a little first hand experience with the unusual things that purging can do to you ... but yeah I lost like 24lbs. needless to say, I didn't do that again.

Answer 3

I actually read somewhere that bulimia is actually a highly ineffective way to lose weight. Besides completely destroying your entire digestive tract and even your teet, your body absorbs much of the calories in a food as soon as it enters your body. I want to say the number was like 70% in the first 5 minutes and another 10% in the next 5. Pretty sure I would rather just eat fewer calories to begin with than get my calorie count from super gross junk food I have to throw back up. Gross! Don't try it, a healthy diet and exercise might be old-fashioned but its the only effective way to lose weight.

Answer 4

If you want to loose weight quick for like a wedding or an event (its not perminant or safe) take water pills or do the old sweat tricks... I had a friedn that would wrap her body in saran wrap and then tight pants and sweat pants over than and run.... That will dehydrate you soooo fast... She would do this befor Padgents.. Befor my best friends wedding we did a bindge diet of V-8 juice and fish and water and thats about it- lost 15 lbs that week, but the next day.... blew right back up... but I looked good that day!
HONESTLY wanna loose weight... do cardio. at least 15 of constant increased heart rate at least 3-4 times a week.

Answer 5

Hiii

Well only if ur sick and cant keep the food in you will loose the weight.

Else if u artificially try it ,,,its not going to help much as even if u induce vomiting by ur fingers the stomach is going to retain some stuff in as it naturally wants it .....

So better be safe as its an unhealthy prcatice and it may lead to harm to the food canal up..... as when u do it frequently the acid that comes out with the vomit will harm the food canal ... so its for u to decide ..... diet and excercise to loose weight or binge and vomit to harm ur system ....

Answer 6

If you throw up just to loose weight you are bulimic. Bulimia is a terrible illness, which in time can kill you. The main reason is that by throwing up you deprive you body of everything that it needs to survive. So yes, you will loose weight, but you will also loose your health an ultimately your LIFE!!!
Is it worth it?
You judge for yourself.

Answer 7

this is an eating disorder called bulimia. throwing up a lot can damage the lining of the esophagus and cause other problems with the body. yes, you would lose weight, but also be in bad physical condition. it's never recommended as a weight loss strategy.

Answer 9

It's called Bulemia. Yeah, you'll lose weight, but you'll also lose most of your tooth enamel, some of your stomach lining, and a lot of people's respect. Along with a lot of other stuff.
