Question

Help answer this question below.

For the past 6 months I have been eating then purging, but only when I eat junk food. I do it about 3 times a week. Can one die from doing this?

    What you're describing are early to intermediate stages of an eating disorder (Anorexia/Bulimia). You absolutely need to stop this immediately. If you can't stop by yourself, seek professional help. You definitely *can* kill yourself doing this, and besides destroying your body, you will develop mental problems, if you haven't already.

    You should stop doing that immediately. The stomach acids from your body are going to erode your teeth. So you will have this great body and terrible teeth. Can you die from it. Think about it like this, If you continue to purge yourself this way, what are you doing the lining of your stomach, your throat, your teeth. Not to mention, that is a bad way to get in shape because you are losing nutrients when you do that. Plus thats an addictive unhealthy practice/ habit. Eat right, Sleep well, Get excercise, Dont eat 4 hrs prior to going to bed. Do not drink then eat. And enjoy your life because you dont want to do damage to your body that you wont feel the effects of till you are older.

    You can really damage your teeth doing this. Stomach acid eats away the enamal on your teeth and makes cavities more likely.

    This is a very harmful way to deal with your eating. You would do better to just allow one day a week or month as you cheat day- have your junk food and enjoy it. Then get back to the healthy eating :)
