Bulimia is an eating disorder that mostly affects young women of 12. Characteristics of bulimia include episodic binge eating followed by feelings of guilt and self-condemnation. Bulimia can actually damage a person's stomach and kidneys as a result of constant vomiting. Bulimia can also cause a person's teeth to decay because of the acids that come up into the mouth while vomiting. Teens suffering from bulimia often show signs of the eating disorder by eating a large amount of food in a small time frame and immediately purging themselves of the food ingested by causing themselves to vomit.

Many children at this point begin to feel self-conscious about their shape and size and their outlook on life can change for the worse. New social pressures are also introduced into a child’s life with the onset of puberty.

Why Potatoes And Other White Foods Are So Healthy To Eat
12/18/2007
I'd like to begin a little discussion about carbohydrates... and in particular, "white foods" as well as potatoes. One reason I mentioned this is because so many health and fitness professionals bad mouth potatoes about being a bad carbohydrate option because of the high glycemic index. Some even say such ridiculous things as "shun any and all white carbohydrates".
