Bulimia is an eating disorder similar to anorexia. Both bulimics and anorexics alike try to control their weight by limiting calorie consumption.

The difference is, anorexics do this by limiting the food they consume by fasting or extreme dieting.

While bulimics do it in cycles of overeating and then throwing up their food.

Someone who overeats or binge eats can consume more than 3,000 calories in one meal.

For comparison, the recommended calorie count is 1,600 to 2,400 calories for adult women and 2,000 to 3,000 calories for adult men.

After binge eating, bulimics will spit out all of the food they just ate either through vomiting, excessive exercise, or with laxatives.

There are many health risks that occur due to bulimia, for example, decaying teeth and acid reflux due to continuous exposure to stomach acid. In addition, bulimia can also cause problems with the kidneys, heart and intestines.
