Restrictive eating, under the guise of wellness is very normalised. As we live in a society that continues to validate thinness on the pedestal of achievement. The impact of undereating on the body can be profound. It’s not something that just skinny people do. If you’re a serial dieter or you struggle with eating disorders or disordered eating, then you probably relate to hunger and food preoccupation as a predictable part of the fabric of daily life. You might think that this is just your personality, whereas in fact it’s about restriction. And remember that 85% of people with eating disorders are not underweight. You can still be hungry and depriving yourself, whilst looking healthy.

In this episode, I explore the impact of restrictive eating on body, mind and soul. I hope that you find it helpful.
