People with bulimia are incapable of controlling impulses that lead them to eat, but the guilt and shame after eating many foods leads them to fasting, induced vomiting and purgative use in preventing weight gain. Bulimics are about 15 episodes of bingeing and vomiting for a week and, in general, their weight is normal, so it is difficult to detect the disease. In a single binge can consume from 10,000 to 40,000 calories.
