title: Differences in weight gain between restrictor and bulimic anorectics.
abstract: After admission for weight restoration, restrictor anorectics (n = 17) gained significantly less weight than bulimic anorectics (n = 17) in a 30-day period. However, these groups had similar caloric intake. Severity of illness was found to be a predictor of rate of weight gain for restrictor anorectics, but not for bulimic anorectics.
