Do people with purging disorder lose weight and fat off their body? because they don't binge, they just purge average portions of food
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unhealthy: They also lose enamel from teeth, vitamins, electrolytes and fluids and their health in general. Purge is not the answer. Purge is binging with a smaller amount of food and very dangerous.
