Hello reader,
Eating disorders are more than just about eating patterns or choices. They are complex mental health disorders that can manifest in different ways.
Often along with nutrition coaches, the assistance of a qualified mental health professional is required to successfully overcome these.
People who become overtly conscious about their body weight, shape, and food intake are at higher risk of having an eating disorder.
Let’s have a look at some of the most common types of eating disorders:
Binge-eating Disorder – An eating disorder in which people cannot control the food consumed and end up over-eating.
People with this disorder are either overweight or obese and eat every 1–2 hours. They often eat alone and feel guilty and embarrassed about their eating habits.
Bulimia Nervosa – People suffering from bulimia eat high amounts of foods frequently and uncontrollably. These people can be underweight, normal, or overweight.
After overconsumption, they tend to purge by inducing self-vomiting, using laxatives, and excessively exercising to burn the excess calories.
Anorexia Nervosa – People with anorexia avoid foods, eat very restrictively or eat in very small amounts due to the fear of gaining weight even though they are underweight.
To help you learn more about this topic, I have two blog posts for you. The first one explains different types of eating disorders. The second post talks about anorexia nervosa.
