new food disorder?? part 1

May 15, 2006

Hi Kendra,

I hate to jump in here but I need to respond to one small point.

you said:

" I saw in a German language magazine not long ago that there is a

3rd eating disorder outside of anorexia and bulimia, I'm forgotten

the German word for it, but it's when someone becomes so obsessed

about what they can eat that their life revolves around it and the

list of allowed foods gets smaller and smaller until they're in a

full-fledged neurotic eating disorder. I don't want to end up like

that either. "

I can see where that would happen to people, but I want to clarify

that those people probably were not eating the right group of foods.

Their poor food choices would be influencing negative emotions.

When someone is eating freely from protein and vegetable foods,

with eggs, nuts, and possibly some fermented dairy, their whole

outlook on life can change for the better, and they would not be

afraid or obsessed about food.

I just returned from a week in a big city. I was nervous about food

before going, but once there, I was very comfortable. The Paleolithic

way of eating has changed me so much that I truly did not want

anything bad. I ate meat, fish, eggs, fruit, vegetables, and nuts,

and did not worry about small amounts of grains that got mixed in

with other stuff. My body was strong enough to handle slightly

imperfect food for a few days.

By the end of the trip I was homesick for my own cooking. I started

cooking and juicing as soon as I got home. I had no cravings and no

problems getting back on track immediately.

The main thing is that there was no fear, yet no uncontrolled

eating either. It was balanced. That is the result of following the

Eating for Recovery plan we have here.

Thanks for listening, I just had to say something because the

medical profession never gets tired of creating new disorders.
