These programs are unique in the sense that most seek to rebalance the individual's biochemistry through diet. |

According to her, the only necessary ingredients for good chocolate are pure, unadulterated "cocoa solids" (the higher the proportion the better), blended with a little cacao butter and a small amount of sugar. As for commercial "chocolate" (her inverted commas), its principal ingredients are sugar, solid vegetable fat, and powdered milk. |

She was diagnosed at various times with gastroenteritis, dehydration, depression, and "functional disorder," a term physicians use when they can find no organic or physical explanation for a patient's symptoms and conclude the patient's complaints are all in her head. Dawes had been prescribed everything from antacids to sedatives. Nothing relieved her symptoms.

In a woman with a body mass index (BMI) less than 25, weight loss of as little as 5 percent can be significant in helping to normalize menses and ovulation, especially in cases of polycystic ovary syndrome.2^ Weight gain in an underweight woman is important as well. Overall, the preponderance of evidence suggests that a normal body weight increases the success of assisted reproductive therapies such as in vitro fertilization. |
Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | Hetherington was alluding to the fact that people with the eating disorder of bulimia tend to lose control and get into a destructive cycle of binge eating—often consuming large amounts of high-calorie dessert foods such as chocolate in a short period of time—and then follow up with purging, either through vomiting, laxatives, or exercise.
In another study of "chocoholics," Dr. Hetherington found that subjects demonstrated addiction traits such as "salience, conflict, relief, relapse, tolerance, and withdrawal. | | Actually, years previously—I'm saddened to admit—my sugar-and-carb-filled binges had played a pivotal part in a hard-to-break eating disorder. Even though I'd finally overcome my bulimia and anorexia (thanks to determination, positive thinking, therapy, and belief in the divine), my sugar addiction was, nevertheless, still raging unabated.
Years and Years of Misdiagnosis
Perplexed and frustrated, I made the rounds of medical practitioners—one after another, year after year.
"Chronic fatigue syndrome," pronounced one physician.
"Epstein-Barr virus," proclaimed another. |
Dr. Arthur Janov
See book keywords and concepts |  Thus, in the current Zeitgeist, an eating disorder such as bulimia exists because of low serotonin levels, a hormone produced by the brain, with many concluding that it is a function of genetics.
The belief that only physical factors matter is demonstrated in an arena of medicine known as biofeedback, which maintains that we can change a mental health problem such as anxiety by temporarily redirecting brainwaves, for example, by having a patient imagine relaxation and then directing her brainwaves to the alpha range, which some therapists equate with a calm state. |
Michael Pollan
See book keywords and concepts |  Orthorexia nervosa is an eating disorder not yet recognized by the DSM-IV, but some psychologists have recently suggested that it's time it was. They're seeing more and more patients suffering from "an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating."
So this is what putting science, and scientism, in charge of the American diet has gotten us: anxiety and confusion about even the most basic questions of food and health, and a steadily diminishing ability to enjoy one of the great pleasures of life without guilt or neurosis. |
Byron J. Richards, CCN
See book keywords and concepts |  THE SIGNS OF EATING DISORDERS
There are many shades of gray between optimum health and a clinically definable eating disorder. A clinical disorder is characterized by the pervasiveness of the starvation metabolism. In some cases, this is caused by a disease process such as cancer or the wasting away associated with advanced aging. In other cases it is by choice, in an effort to lose weight or stay slim.
The hallmark of the starvation metabolism is a low-leptin situation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Up-and-down weight gain and loss can, for example, be a clue that you have a thyroid disorder (see Appendix I), an infection, a nutritional problem, or an eating disorder.
In the 1940s,an American psychologist, William Sheldon, identified three basic body types, which he called somatotypes, and linked them to personality traits.
¦ Ectomorph:Thin, delicate body. Tends to be nonassertive, sensitive, self-conscious, introverted, and artistic.
¦ Endomorph: Plump, apple- or pear-shaped body. Tends to be sluggish, even-tempered, affectionate, sociable, and "a barrel of fun. |

Consider the impact on the health and vitality of the population when we include the infamous snack attack with the increased consumption of low-fat, fat-free, sugar-free and low-carbohydrate foods.

See book keywords and concepts | | Teenagers with low body weight, amenorrhea, and overachievement (excellent grades and many extracurricular activities) need astute evaluation for an eating disorder. Psychological counseling, consistent support, and monitoring for calorie intake will be needed to break the established patterns. The earlier the recognition of the problem, the more successful the intervention. Family members, friends, and health-care practitioners should pay particular attention to weight and diet in young women with amenorrhea.
Obese women exhibit several abnormalities in their hormone profile. | | Some women may have low body weight but do not have an eating disorder or exercise-induced amenorrhea. This may be a metabolism issue, a hereditary factor, or a diet that is extremely low in fat although not low in calories. Women who take in insufficient calories, such as strict vegetarians who eat no animal products or others with extreme diets, may have insufficient dietary fat and low cholesterol. Adequate cholesterol is needed to manufacture hormones. |

Dr. Schauss says that the zinc research helps provide an explanation of how non-zinc related therapies also work. "Remember, you lose zinc under psychological stress. If you send a patient who is stressed to a supportive, warm, nurturing environment, as many of the eating residential treatment facilities are, after several weeks much of their stress is alleviated. | | Schauss explains, "I might be invited to a hospital that has an eating disorder unit. I present the data to the staff, they are enthusiastic and usually they've tried it out on a few patients and seen the benefits, but then the business manager steps in and talks about how much money the hospital will lose if it engages in what is basically an outpatient treatment program. | | Within a year, that eating disorder unit closed down because it didn't have enough patients to sustain it. The trustee who had invited me to the hospital resigned his position. But it didn't really solve the problem, which is how do patients get this information?"
Dr. Jose Yaryura-Tobias strongly believes that any nutritional approach must be preceded by a program of cognitive therapy. "Anorexia nervosa, from our perspective, is an obsessive-compulsive disorder that is related to self-image, the way that we perceive ourselves. | | Since reduced food intake results from zinc deficiency, the acquired zinc deficiency of eating disorder patients may act as a sustaining factor for their abnormal eating behavior. Hospitalized bulimics and anorexics were shown to be deficient in the mineral, and to benefit from supplementation.

See book keywords and concepts | | Of course, rapid, self-induced weight loss can signal an eating disorder, such as anorexia or bulimia. But unintended weight loss, with or without loss of appetite, can point to depression, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, heart failure, a nutritional disorder, or cancer. A recent study found that unexplained weight loss in women may be an early warning sign of dementia a decade later. And sudden weight loss can be a reaction to some drugs—both prescribed and illicit—including antidepressants and amphetamines. If an older adult loses weight suddenly, it may be a forewarning of dementia. |

A similar eating disorder occurs when the main meal of the day is consumed in the evening. Secretions of bile and digestive enzymes are drastically reduced later in the afternoon, especially after 6 p.m. For that reason, a meal consisting of foods such as meat, chicken, fish, cheese, or eggs cannot be properly digested later in the day. Oily foods or those fried in oil are too difficult for the body to digest in the evening. Instead, such a meal turns into toxic waste matter in the intestines. |

In times of psychological stress, people actually lose zinc. "You can, in fact, measure a two to three fold increase in the amount of zinc in the urine under conditions of psychological stress," Dr. Schauss says. |
