I was wondering if anyone has any knowledge of some elements of bulimia in bodybuilding.
Yes, we aren't normal when it comes to eating - but slamming food down and then purging. For example, someone just cheated for 5 hours (not a refeed - full on cheat) 2 weeks out from national show and they're already behind schedule- they think they're screwed so they purge.
Very unhealthy when done repeatedly but I could see some taking this route at a national/pro level if they slip up.
I really wonder the hormonal cascade post purging as well. Cortisol has to sky rocket.
Thanks Guys!
