A. With either disease, the required nutrients for bodily processes are not getting to where they're needed, so a lot of deficieny diseases will occur due to a lack of protein, potassium, and vitamins. The teeth and bones may suffer through a lack of calcium. Water is also lost through starvation, which is vital for all bodily chemical reactions.
Regarding bulimia nervosa, the repeated vomiting brings concentrated acid into the mouth far too regularly - and it shows in the erosion of the teeth.
Tiredness and dizziness are also caused by lack of energy, due to lack of food, and a lot of stress is put on the body, which shows in the paper-like skin and lank hair. The head will also look enlarged in comparison with the body, as it can't change size.
Hormones, such as oestrogen, also become unbalanced and female sufferers may cease to have periods. Lack of B vitamins will also cause mood imbalances which do not help the psychological aspect of the diseases. It all stems down to the fact that the body is not receiving the nutrients it needs, really.

How overweight am I and how can I stop being overweight?
Q. I'm a 14 year old girl, 5'6" and 130 lbs. I gained 15 lbs cause I can't stop binge eating and I look so disgusting and idk what to do but I need to stop or I'm gonna have health problems but idk what to do.
A. First of all, for your height and weight you are not at all fat and do not look disgusting. That is sad that you would think that. All you need to do is exercise 30-45 minutes per day, every day. Talk a walk, a bike ride, etc.
