Bulimia Nervosa is a serious, potentially life threatening eating disorder characterized by a cycle of bingeing and compensatory behaviors such as self induced vomiting designed to undo or compensate for the effects of binge eating. A binge can be consuming calories ranging from 1,000 to 60,000 calories in a 1-2 hour span. Feelings of panic and guilt will set this individual to soon realize they must purge the calories by vomiting, excessive use of diuretics and laxatives, fasting or excessive exercise.
This disorder occurs in 80% of women in the Unites State, 1% to 2% of adolescents and young women. The typical person with bulimia is well educated, inn her early twenties, and close to their ideal body weight. Men also suffer from bulimia. More men suffer from bulimia than from anorexia and on the rise with increasing numbers. The reason why men develop this eating disorder is not very different from why a female develops one.
