Explanation:

Bulimia nervosa is characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating followed by compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain. Compensatory behaviors include excessive exercise, self - inducing vomiting, and taking large amounts of laxatives. Increasing protein in the diet is a normal part of a healthy diet and not a behavior associated with bulimia. Taking performance - enhancing supplements is also not a typical behavior associated with bulimia nervosa.
