A perfect and timely reminder ❤️
Restrictive eating is one of the key risk factors in developing an eating disorder. It is also rarely ever maintainable longterm and any “results” will only ever be short term.
Over the years I’ve had many clients express how following a healthy eating program, gym challenge or even advice from a health professional started to mess with their psychology around food and their eating behaviours.
If you choose to restrict food for ethical, environmental or religious reasons, or if you need to for a medical diagnosis (eg Coeliac), then of course that is ok. I am talking about restrictive eating to change how your body looks or for perceived health reasons without medical necessity.
If this description of disordered eating is you, or someone you know, can you reflect on how this is really impacting your health? Is it enriching your life, or is it getting in the way of what you really value - your relationships with others and/or doing the things that you really enjoy in life?
