Answers:
Eh, it really depends on your metabolism and personal affinity for food!. If I were to binge eat, it would completely throw me off with blood sugars and having headaches and all that fun stuff!. However for most people, its not really too damaging to have a large quantity of food at one time!.

I wouldn't suggest this as a regular habit as it does promote the storage of fat due to the excess calories, but as an occasional (maybe once a month or every few weeks) kind of thing, it is more a treat that should not mess up your metabolism too badly as long as you don't have any special medical conditions that must be considered!.

If you have a slower metabolism, you would have to go less often, and if you are a regular runner or athelete, you can go more often!. It really depends on the in/out ratio of burned calories and metabolism versus usual body intake!. For example, a man who sits at a computer all day long may gain 4 pounds from eating the same amount of food as someone who binges but works in a warehouse and therefore walks 5 miles a day!.

You also have to look at what you are binging on!. Chips/soda and other snack foods are high in sodium!. These will make you gain weight on the scale faster because of water retention, and then hold a small percentage of that weight from fat (the rest being flushed out as you drink more water)!. Chocolate, cake and candy on the other hand may not add pounds on the scale immediately but can definitely add up as time goes on!.

Really there is no straight answer for this question as each person has an individual metabolism and exercise level!. Generally the rule is the more you exercise regularly, the more often your body can handle the binging!. However, that does not mean that you can go binge on a ton of food and "work it off" with one or two extremely long workout sessions!. Metabolism is based off consistent levels of activity, not bursts of it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Do you mean just go to a buffet and eat all you want!? If that's what you mean then I'd say once a month!. Www@FoodAQ@Com

honestly!? never!. it's never ok to stuff that many calories in your body at once and expect nothing bad to happen!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
