Bulimia

Bulimia is a serious disease affecting mostly young women but present in other populations as well.  Current accepted treatments often consist of some combination of antidepressant medications (SSRI’s and others) with and without behavior modification or psychotherapy.  If current accepted treatments are successful, patients will stop inducing vomiting to control weight and should feel better about themselves.  Unfortunately, this treatment often results in the patient gaining weight and having obesity related complications later in life.

Recent reports have demonstrated that medications to control appetite improve binge eating and bulimia.  The treatment used at TNC Weight Loss goes a step further.  TNC Weight Loss has found that by controlling the drive to eat, most patients with bulimia will stop inducing vomiting and live a healthier life.  There is great emotional benefit as well since the patient feels in control of his or her eating.  Thus, bulimia can be reduced or eliminated almost immediately.  The patient will not gain weight and may even lose a little if overweight to start.  Improved psychological well-being can be expected.
