Food Series Part 8: Anorexia Nervosa

What is Anorexia Nervosa? Anorexia nervosa is a mental health concern and an eating disorder in which the person loses more weight than is healthy for their height and age. Anorexics are typically perfectionists.

Anorexia symptoms:

✔️ Low weight
✔️ Extreme restrictive eating
✔️ The anxiety of gaining weight
✔️ Keen desire to be thin
✔️ Fear of eating

Anorexia types: The first type is the restrictive type. The second is the binge-purge type. Binge-purge type shouldn't be confused with bulimia nervosa because the binge in anorexia might be 200kcal while a binge in bulimia can be 2000kcal.
