Is Eating Too Healthy an Eating Disorder?

Written by Kellen Wilson on February 12, 2010 - 2:07pm

They may not be new disorders, but orthorexia and pregorexia are two eating disorders that I hadn’t heard labeled before. One disorder affects people focused on eating only healthy foods. The other affects pregnant women who gain little or no weight when they are pregnant (pregorexia).

Written by Mary Sornberger on January 5, 2010 - 8:09am

For adult anorexics, dying alone is not as uncommon an occurrence as we might think. It happened to a member of my family. And while researching adult anorexia, I came across another tragic story.
