Eating Disorders
The right diet is the key to managing many diseases and to improving general quality of life. For this condition, scientific research has found benefit in the following healthy eating tips.
| Recommendation | Why | Get started |
|---|---|---|
| Avoid foods that alter your mood | In one study, bulimic women became binge-free after avoiding alcohol, caffeine, refined sugar, and foods containing white flour, added salt, monosodium glutamate, and flavor enhancers. | |
| Get enough calories | The most important dietary change for people with eating disorders is to eat a sufficient amount of calories without purging. To accomplish this, most will need psychological as well as nutrition counseling. | |
| Eat a balanced diet | People with both bulimia and anorexia are likely to report a craving for sugar, which may lead to mood swings. Eating healthier foods may stabilize blood sugar, which may decrease the urge for bulimic binges. |
