Chew food and spit it out?

like, bast quantities of chocolate and biscuits, and sweet food...

chew... 'taste' then spit to avoid the calories.

it is really that unusual?

You still get calories.

Do you think if you eat & are then sick you avoid the caolries also?

hairymclary · 09/05/2007 23:14

but you get far less calories than if you swallow.
I don't know any fat bulimics

hairymclary · 09/05/2007 23:15

and in fact, a very good friend of mine, who happens to be bulimic, was told by her psychiatrist that the whole "you still get calories even if you vomit" was bull, because if it was true then she wouldn't be a frigging size 6

try sniffing it instead. i virtually snorted a pizza up my nose earlier

I think chewing food & spitting is just asking for an eating disorder.

hairymclary · 09/05/2007 23:19

possibly so. have to admit the only people I have previously met who do it already have an ED.

I suppose it's harmless enough if it stays at chewing and spitting though

Its a waste of good food and all!!!

misdee · 09/05/2007 23:20

Nikki76 · 09/05/2007 23:44

If you are losing weight by not actually eating, just tasting food - you have an eating disorder!!!
