Purging only gets rid of 50% of calories?

[blue stars]

I've read this before...but is it actually true?

[Lizzie123]

depends how long you wait until you purge, although for me there seems to be a point where my body won't let me be sick properly anymore although theres stil a bit of food left inside me-so maybe thats why you still take in 50% of the calories?

True, the worst time to purge is at night time,when ur body had enuff food and a muffin with 2gsaturated will "overload" per say, and its fat

FALSE! that fact is incorrect. It depends on multiple factors, the sheer quantity of food you consume, the order of what food you consume, how good you actually are at purging, how long the food has been digesting for, etc.

TRUE! That many calories are left in the stomach and digested as you can never get it all back up, and an academic studying showed that when doing 'big binges' it doesn't matter how many calories you consume (from say 2,000 up to 4,000!), the average calories left behind to be digested was 1,200. . .this is just an average and was on a small sample.

i do know that once you've eaten something, you can't get it all back. your body starts digesting food the moment it's in your mouth. This is some scary sh*t.

AHH! yeah scary!! I've been reading the same types of things but I am really unsure whether or not it's true. But just to be safe I'm trying to binge on healthy foods which SUCKS because I crave the bad stuff.
So if you start a binge with some sort of healthy food do you think you have a better chance of ridding the "bad" calories??? :confused:
UGH. Maybe it would be better just to not b/p at all... if only...
