Just a side note, in my line of work I can see bulimia pretty easily.
Its always females.
Also I've never seen a boy yet in my practice who looks too skinny, to say no men have this issue would be wrong but its not typically a male problem.
Most boys who are 'into' their bodies tend to be worried about big muscles and bulking up. My guess is steroid issues are bigger worries than starvation.
