Blood test?

[rubytuesday6]

Hi guys I'm getting a blood test tomorrow and I heard I should fast for 12 HOURS before so that there is no fat in the blood system. This might sound stupid but is binging and purging okay? If I purge it all out and there isn't any food in my "system"? How about chewing and spitting since I won't swallow anything? I realize my question is very dumb

I'm not a doc and this is just my experience, but I've often had a very low white blood count when I've been severely restricting or underweight, and my doctor said it was just malnutrition. It does seem to correct itself fairy quickly when I'm better nourished.

I believe it's this also. Thank you!
