Yes, it does make you lose weight. Some people get addicted to it (Bulimia) which can make you VERY unhealthy. Tell her if she wants to lose weight, exercise and eat a proper diet. NEVER make yourself throw up in order to try and lose weight. Vomiting to much can also ruin your esophagus - that can kill you.

If you specifically vomit shortly after eating then yes the food doesn't go into your system so you don't get the calories from it, fat and stuff. You get the taste but then you get rid of it before your body can process it. Some people do this and it is called bulimia. It is very unhealthy, obviously, for many reasons. It also rots your teeth because of the stomach acid that keeps coming out your mouth. If you or your friend or anyone you know regularly induces vomiting after eating then they need help.

Yes, but this is considered a very serious disease called Bulimia. Also after a while it wears out the lining in your esophagus, which can lead to cancer of the throat. Also you have a higher chance of getting a high anal hernia, from repeat heaving and puking up. Your friend really needs to speak to a professional about proper imaging and the cause of her need to be thinner. Good luck and remember you might have saved your friends life if she is ready to admit she has a problem.

Well, it will make your friend lose weight, but it will also destroy her body. If she keeps doing it, she will bloat up around her face, her teeth will be decaying, her hair will get dry and dull, her skin will be all around unhealthy, her digestive system will have irreparable damage, and she could even die. All the health horrors that bulimia causes are not worth losing a few pounds quick because the side effects will destroy her body for a very long time (if not forever)

Take a look at this:

It could cause all sorts of health problems.
Have her talk to her doctor and a nutritionist and physical trainer to get help.

it would if she vomited enough. but thats WAY unheathly and messes up your stomach.... offer to work out with her... maybe go walking aroung the neighbor hood when shes at your house... if she wants to lose weight, vomiting works, but its a bad way to do it

no, it just puts alot of strain on your stomach and then the acid from your stomach will rot your teeth. plus you will ruin the lining in your esophagus.
