no, binge eating is when you constantly keep over-eating, this may cause severe weight gain and many health problems
you are probably referring to bulimia, which is when someone eats a certain amount of food and constantly purges (forces his/herself to throw up) after the meal
No, but it is discusting.
And yes, 200 calories is too little.
that’s not binge eating, but yes that’s an eating disorder. Its anorexia. Youre not eating the food! 200 calories is not healthy at all.
Yes you need a minumim of one thousand an no it is not binge it is bulimia
way too little. you need to eat more. youre still getting starch and stuff from chewing so kind of it is binging
Its not binge eating because your not actually consuming anything.
But yes that is somewhat of an eating disorderm and 200 calories is wayyyyy to few!
Chewing and spitting out is a form of anorexia
Uh…no. You have to “swallow” to binge eat. You are what is known as a binge “chewer”. That’s far creepier in my book.
That is an eating disorder, it’s called the chew spit syndrome, and I’m not even kidding you. And that is way too little calories to be eating, you should be eating like 1,200 a day.
EAT MORE!! dont starve yourself!!!!! and no it isnt binge eating but you shouldnt be doing that!!! i think you should get yourself to the dr because i think you might have a eating disorder
Adults usually need around 2000 calories a day. Also, just chewing then spitting out isn’t even eating. And it’s gross. Just EAT, it’s awesome!
No you would be bulemic if you gobbled everything down and then induced vomiting
Binge? Sounds like your aren’t consuming too much food but not eating enough. Not enough calories.
actually, it IS an eating disorder. its called “chew and spit” i believe… a form of anorexia
Its called chewing and spitting, and yes it is an eating disorder. Calories get absorbed in the mouth from many foods and the longer you continue to do this, your body will start to absorb the calories through your salivary glands. It’s very dangerous.
Here is a site to get help:
yes, this is an eating disorder
it’s not binge eating because you aren’t eating anything
even for active women, you should be eating at least 1200-1500 calories. anything less than 800 is putting your body in starvation mode which isn’t actually burning fat.
you aren’t helping yourself losing weight by not eating, you are actually just deteriorating your health. so any “weight loss” you might see is actually your body killing itself.
i don’t know how old you are but you need AT LEAST 1,500 calories a day to be healthy. chewing and then spitting something is just a strange way to be anorexic. get help!
yes omg if u r tryin to diet u need to eat at leat like 1000 clas just so u hav enough energy. god like get some counseling or something
Ana,
yes.. you know it’s an eating disorder.. i have a problem too. I binge and then don’t eat for a while.
you probably need help, or just someone to talk to…
google: ana’s secret obsession
that’s not healthy…
I hope you mean 2000
An average person should be consuming at least 2000! That’s only 10% that you’re eating. I recommend contacting your family doctor or try talking to your parents.
Yes that is a eating disorder.
200 calories is way too little; 2000 is what most people need.
So I’m going to have to go with “yes” it is an eating disorder, or at least a poorly managed diet.
that is horrible. its not really binge eating if you chew it and never swallow but its not healthy either. you should really stop that because that is basically heading down the road to anorexia.
Well, sort of. If you cannot stop, and aren’t really eating at all most of the time, I think this may be a problem. Maybe you should consider just eating healthy in the first place, rather than eating junk and eating too much, and just spitting it out. Your body needs the nutrition, and you should take care of your body, because it’s the only one you’ve got.
yes thats an eating disorder, i think it was called chew and spit.. i saw it on the tyra show once. thats way too little, just eat healthy and eat the food.
i dont know what your going through personally, but my bestfried is recovering from anorexia.
theres day programs you can go to at hospitals, theres eating disorder annonomus (i cant spell sorry)
just try to get yourself some help, talk to people, because this is the start of somthing very dangerious.
200 calories is way too little, as a normal intake for adults is 2,000 calories. I don’t think what you do is an eating disorder, but you might want to try just swallowing end eating less instead of eating more and spitting it out.
It is way too little. The average needed is 2000 calories.
It isn’t binge “eating” but I know there is a psychological condition associated with excessive chewing. It also applies to those who bite their nails, or chew their own hair or skin but do not eat it – and those who do.
It doesn’t sound like you’ve anything to worry about, though. We tend to get very worried about these little things which are often just habits or a sign of nevous energy – I’m a little prone to it myself. Ask your doc if you’re really concerned.
Binge eating if when you eat a lot at one time – like binge drinking. At certain times you eat a large quanity of food. Chewing food than spitting it out is an eating disorder known as buliema. You only eat 200 calories a day?? 200 calories is not nearly enough!! Most people need at least 1200 – 2000 calories a day. If you cannot stop this behaviour, I suggest you talk to someone you trust to get some help. Good luck.
umm it kinda gross but do like 250 cal to help u
No, binge eating is eating A LOT in one period of time.
200 cals???? Woww…..for me thats like impossible! But yes, that is wayyyyy too little! It depends on how much you weigh. But you should be eating at least 1,000-1,500 calories a day.
Not only is that too little, that’s dangerously unhealthy.
In my opinion, your situation could very well be considered an eating disorder. I would advise talking to your doctor, don’t let this go on any longer.
When you chew food, there is an enzyme in the saliva that breaks down starches and sugars into smaller sugars that the body can absorb and use. But obviously, this will not cause you to gain any weight. You could almost say you have a disorder leading up to anorexia.
Please get this checked out.
I don’t know what the term for it is, but considering that 2,000 calories a day is considered the average, then you seem to be eating much too little. By eating so little you are putting yourself at risk for malnutrition, among other things. You should also note that when you eat so little, your metabolism will slow down, slowing the weight loss effects you are hoping for. Weight loss isn’t a one time deal, it requires a lifestyle change if you want to lose it and keep it off. The way you are going about this is not healthy. I would suggest that you talk to a therapist or dietitian in your area who can help you with this. The website listed below may be helpful.
Umm yes, that is a common method of some people suffering from eating disorders. It might be found under the category of Eating Disorders not Specified. This can be a very addicting method, I know from first hand experience. I started chewing and spitting about a year ago, and its very hard to avoid, because you know that you aren’t actually consuming the calories in the food. I still have yet to completely break myself of the habit, because it is so convenient. Just know, that this can lead to alot of decaying of you teeth depending upon how you chew and spit the food. If you chew the food in your mouth repeatedly, the saliva can wear the enamel off you teeth. Other ways are holding the food in your throat but not swallowing it, so that the food isnt rehashed in your mouth. You will find more about this on the Internet, it might not be considered big next to Anorexia or Bulimia, but it is associated with these disorders.
