Laxative

a person uses methods such as, vomiting, laxatives, or enemas to remove any digested food from their body. A non-purging bulimic keeps off any weight gain by fasting and exercising excessively (Curtis 1). Although it is still most common in females, there is a higher percentage of men suffering from Bulimia than any other eating disorder. (Whitney 260) A few symptoms and warning signs of this disorder are: binge eating with no weight gain, use of laxatives, outspoken dissatisfaction of body…

There were a total of 200,000 different diet books to choose from and I needed to find the perfect one to ensure it fit the criteria. Finally, I chose “How to Lose 10 Pounds in a Week” by Jenny Allen. Just by the name, you are probably saying to yourself, “wow, this is a total farce; a complete joke”. After reading it although, the author brought up many good points to try and lose weight, but she did so using the most extreme…
