Answer:

Provoke vomiting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by rapid and repeated consumption of large amounts of food (binge eating episodes) followed by attempts to compensate for excess food consumed (eg, by purging, vomit, fasting or exercising).

The person eats large amounts of food and then induces his own vomiting, uses laxatives, does a diet, fasts, or vigorously exercises to compensate. Several actions can be used to counteract the effects of excessive food intake:

  • Practice purging, for example by inducing vomiting itself (self-induced vomiting) or taking laxatives or diuretics (medicines that make the kidneys excrete more water)
  • Follow strict regimes or fasts
  • Overworking
  • Any combination of the above
