Eating Healthy vs Disordered EatingEating healthy and eating less are the two things we most hear when it comes to weight loss. Yet at the same time, if you really look at what's in those diet products lining pharmacy shelves, there's absolutely nothing healthy about them. Many diet foods are blatantly unhealthy and much of the food heavily advertised is fun food but hardly healthy food.
And with as much fast food around as what there is, eating healthy can be a real challenge in this world of ours where rush, grab 'n go seem to be the pace. It's no wonder that disordered eating is so prevalent. Sometimes it's severe enough to manifest as an eating disorder and other times it manifests as obesity and/or health problems. And of course 'what' foods are considered to be healthy is a forever moving goalpost which so much conflicting 'research' that it's a minefield. Speak to the Atkins crowd and they'll tell you low carb and high protein is healthy. Speak to the Slimfast bunch and they'll tell you their meal replacements are packed with nutrients and so on. Because the ditch-diets-live-light site aims to be atop weight loss site, we need to discuss not only the 'how' of eating but also how easily we can turn to disordered eating and eating disorders. I think HEALTHY EATING (click here for a short description of each of the topics that follow). Eating healthy is about as much about the psychology of 'how' we eat as it is about 'what ' we eat. Breakfast buzz.and Breakfast ideas. Both The Mind over Fatter Programme and The Joy-Filled Body offer practical guidelines for 'how' to eat with en-joy-ment and to be relaxed, instead of fearful and guilty around food. EATING DISORDERS always stem from a lack of emotional wellness so it's odd that what most treatment plans target focusses more on implementing healthy eating than healthy thinking because the person's way of eating is only a symptom of the deeper issues needing attention.

I really love the idea of doing some 'head stuff' tweaking instead of dieting. This is a GREAT website, loaded with unusual information.

I LOVE this website. It's really thought-provoking, it's given me ideas about dieting and weight loss that I would never have contemplated. It makes such sense in a world where much about dieting doesn't. Bravo! I also loved your quizzes. I will be a repeat visitor. PS I have signed up for your free Joy-Filled Body Tips.

I am a university-bound teenager from the United States. Two years ago I was diagnosed with anorexia, a battle that eventually found me in the hospital.Dieting has robbed me of too much time. I found this website by chance. I've spent a lot of time browsing through articles and reading stories. It has changed my attitude and made me want to be MY ideal weight, not someone else's. Thank you to all the contributors and readers of Mind over Fatter. I deeply appreciate everything you do.(abridged by Cari)

It's easy in our society today to feel that our value is determined by the number on the scale. I am encouraged to change my mind so I can love myself for who I am not how much I weigh. Thank you so much for your website. It is such an inspiration to me!
Thank you! Rachel, USA
