After the comment he went on to say: 'It would be easier just to chew food and spit it out but still you get to eat whatever you want and stay skinny.'
His unprovoked comments about the eating disorder prompted a furious reaction from some of his 1.2 million Twitter followers.
They replied in their droves, with people branding Professor Green as 'sick' and 'disgusting'.
One follower, named c dawg, wrote: 'Not your biggest fan, but you are jokkeee.'

Dan Round, a clinical nurse who treats people with eating conditions, explained to The Sun that bulimia should be treated more seriously, as it affects around 1.6 million Brits and can be life-threatening.
'There is a lot of stigma and misunderstanding surrounding eating disorders. They are not just about food and wanting to be thin,' he explained.
After the rapid backlash Professor Green attempted to defend himself, claiming he was looking for a way to not pile on the pounds while on holiday in the US with his slim girlfriend Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh.
'I'm over they heads like a bulimic on a sea-saw,' he tweeted, before adding: 'Queue all the people who start telling me how insensitive I am and how bulimia jokes aren't funny yadda yadda yadda.'
However, these comments only led to many followers making jibes about the rapper's poor spelling.
