From the moment you eat something, how
long does it take till that food has been
consumed in some form. For example, after
scoffing a tub of ice cream for example,
how long before the evil sugars and
calories affect your body? I've always
wondered, given when I binge, I wonder if
its "too late" ya' know, will throwing up
stop this. Regardless, i'll prolly,
sadly, keep on doing it.
...And I thought I had stopped.

Hey well I don't really know the answer to
the question. I think that it could vary
on like your body. I am not sure though.

You start to absorb calories-simple carbs
within 10 minutes but protien and fat take
longer, on average about 1-6 hours. It
would take that long to absorb all of it
but not much is absorbed for the first
hour unless you have simple carbs on an
empty stomach.

Thats a good question, I was wondering the
same thing. I always just figured as long
as you can still throw it up you're saving
yourself at least a few of the calories.
Once I tried throwing something up at
night what had eaten for breakfast and it
just wouldnt come out. And I felt
horrible b/c it hurt more then when you
just throw up right after eating. I
realie I was no help. Sorry.

Although as soon as you eat something,
your body uses the energy in it, it doesnt
digest it so you can still throw it up.
Proteins and fats take 4.5 hours to work
their way through your stomache, so after
that, basically, your screwed.
Carbohydrates take 3 hours. My binges go
for 3 hours usually. They are long. I
feel fat.
