Food and weight loss consume you.

You try to control your food but it ends up controlling you.

Our Registered Dietitians are trained to support people with binge eating, eating disorder, and disordered eating (see below if you haven't heard of disordered eating).

What Can I Learn From Nutrition & Life?

What Are Eating Disorders?

Eating disorders are a range of psychological disorders characterised by abnormal or disturbed eating habits

Some of the more common eating disorders include:

Anorexia Nervosa
Bulimia Nervosa
Binge Eating Disorder

If you or someone you know are struggling with any of the above please contact us.

What is the difference between Eating Disorders and Disordered Eating?

The primary difference between an eating disorder and disordered eating is whether or not a person's symptoms and experiences align with the eating disorder criteria called the DSM5 in New Zealand.

‍Disordered Eating is a description, not a diagnosis.

Disordered Eating symptoms include:

Frequent dieting, food anxiety, or meal skipping.
Rigid rules surrounding food and exercise.
Feelings of guilt and shame associated with eating
Obsession with food, weight, and body image reducing your quality of life
A feeling of loss of control around food, including compulsive eating habits.
Using exercise, food restriction, fasting, or purging to "make up for bad foods".

Left unchecked binge eating or disordered eating can get out of control.

What are Binge Eating symptoms?

Binge Eating Symptoms include:

Eating even when you're full or not hungry.
Feeling out of control around food.
Eating until you are uncomftably full.
Eating in secret.
Finding yourself in a cycle of bingeing and then restricting.

On their own some of these behaviours are not uncommon.

However, if these are happening often then you should speak to a professional.

Anorexia nervosa is both a genetic and metabolic disorder

A new worldwide study involving more than 100 researchers has proved that genetics contributes to anorexia nervosa and found a strong metabolic component to the illness.
