Refeeding syndrome is a potential risk when you are abstaining from restriction and overcoming a restrictive eating disorder and addiction to energy deficit. An awareness of the risks and how to prevent them will help to ensure you are able to continue to do all you need to beat the eating disorder out of your life safely.

More on this is available in my book: 'Addicted to Energy Deficit' which you can buy now.

Restrictive eating disorders can also be described as an addiction to the state of energy deficit. The gold standard approach to overcome any addiction can is often considered to be abstinence...

But how do you abstain from a restrictive eating disorder?

This episode discusses this and you will find out more in my book, Addicted to Energy Deficit.

Rituals and restrictive eating disorders go hand in hand.

If you have a restrictive eating disorder or are working to overcome one, it is important to understand rituals - what they are, how to recognise them and why it is so important to address them.

When you have a restrictive eating disorder, your brain has developed an addiction to the state of energy deficit.

But what is it that made energy deficit so rewarding to your brain in the first instance that it led to this addiction?

The answer to this is explored in this episode.

I have written a book!!

It's called 'Addicted to Energy Deficit' and it is all about what restrictive eating disorders are, using neuroscience and research to finally de-mystify exactly what is happening with a restrictive eating disorder and how to use this information to overcome one.

This episode introduces the book and why eating disorders are a form of addiction. Please support me, my work and podcast by buying a copy!
