To add some perspective : I suspect some people don’t really understand how large the caloric intake can be in boulemia.
I routinely see patients eating upwards of 50 000 calories (even saw 100 000 a few times) per day when crisis occur. Things like eating several large peanut butter jars in a row etc
Jesus. I guess I had a rosier view of the condition. I thought bulemics might binge on the order of, like, two big macs and a fries or something, like normal people.
Na. Although you can see patient having binge that you then understand were just one bigmac, indicating something closer to anorexia.
The suicide rate is about 2% per 10 year which is insanely high. Also it is not uncommon for people with bulemia to have (sometimes severe) deficiencies regardless of their weight.
