recognizing symptoms of bulimia
corey is attempting to drop his weight for an upcoming event. he decides to turn to some of the drastic behaviors he has heard discussed in the locker room to try to make weight. what steps might corey take that can be characteristic of bulimia nervosa? choose all that apply.
□ increasing protein in his diet
□ exercising excessively
□ self - inducing vomiting
□ taking a large amount of laxatives
□ taking performance enhancing supplements

Explanation:

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder. Excessive exercising, self - inducing vomiting, and taking a large amount of laxatives are common behaviors in bulimia nervosa as they are attempts to compensate for food intake (either real or perceived). Increasing protein in the diet is a normal part of a healthy diet (unless in an extreme and disordered way which is not indicated here) and taking performance - enhancing supplements is more related to sports performance enhancement rather than the compensatory behaviors of bulimia.

Answer:

B. exercising excessively, C. self - inducing vomiting, D. taking a large amount of laxatives
