Dieting=ENDOS/disorder eating
In this little section on this page, I am going to show how dieting IS an eating disorder. Pro-ana sites and Pro-diet /diet culture websites,books,etc. give out the SAME advice. Gave this it's own page because it could trigger someone.

- Chronic Dieting: The Socially Acceptable Eating Disorder @ Ravishly - "There are also lots of different kinds of eating disorders. And not everyone with a restrictive eating disorder looks “like they have an eating disorder.” Not all people with restrictive eating disorders are underweight. That's because our bodies can be really good at holding onto fat because of...you know...the body’s goal of staying alive. You also do not need to be emaciated to have ill health effects from dieting. You can have anorexia, where you heavily restrict your calories and either be emaciated or not. You can have bulimia, where you binge and purge and be emaciated or not. You can have orthorexia, where you obsess over food purity, and be emaciated or not. You can have binge eating disorder, which is actually most often caused by restriction, and be any weight. Or you can have EDNOS (Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified) and have a little smattering of some, all, or other, and be emaciated or not."

- Pathological dieting: precursor to eating disorders | Examiner.com - "“A calorie-restricted diet is the most commonly reported "trigger" for an eating disorder. Many of my patients, began their eating disorder after initially losing weight on purpose,” says Theresa Sage, R.D., a nutritionist at Kingley Health in Newtown, Pa. “When they realize that their new weight has not protected them from their problems or negative feelings, they have the mistaken belief that more weight loss was needed. This will continue until they seek help and address the underlining issues that need to be resolved.”For men and women who do develop eating disorders there is often a sense of gratification in the attention they receive through losing weight. This, coupled with a perfectionistic personality and the mindset “more weight loss is better” can lead to disordered eating. The eating disorder becomes a coping skill to deal with stress, feelings of low self-esteem or other conflicts.
- Eating Disorders Statistics - National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders - "• 91% of women surveyed on a college campus had attempted to control their weight through dieting. 22% dieted “often” or “always.• Anorexia is the third most common chronic illness among adolescents. 25% of college-aged women engage in bingeing and purging as a weight-management technique. • The mortality rate associated with anorexia nervosa is 12 times higher than the death rate associated with all causes of death for females 15-24 years old. Over one-half of teenage girls and nearly one-third of teenage boys use unhealthy weight control behaviors such as skipping meals, fasting, smoking cigarettes, vomiting, and taking laxatives An estimated 10-15% of people with anorexia or bulimia are male. 95% of all dieters will regain their lost weight within 5 years. 35% of “normal dieters” progress to pathological dieting. Of those, 20-25% progress to partial or full-syndrome eating disorders. 20% of people suffering from anorexia will prematurely die from complications related to their eating disorder, including suicide and heart problems.Although eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder, the mortality rates reported on those who suffer from eating disorders can vary considerably between studies and sources. Part of the reason why there is a large variance in the reported number of deaths caused by eating disorders is because those who suffer from an eating disorder may ultimately die of heart failure, organ failure, malnutrition or suicide."
- How Dieting can be a Precursor to Eating Disorders - "The body and mind react to a diet in the same way they would to starvation. In starvation, the body's metabolism decreases, and cravings increase. This is the set up for diet failure. Metabolism naturally slowing down during starvation is the body's attempt to conserve energy. A decrease in metabolism means the body is burning calories at a slower rate. Also while on a diet, the mind becomes preoccupied with thoughts of food and cravings intensify, especially for foods that will provide quick energy, like sweets. Eventually it is too difficult to fight nature. People can't remain on diets forever and when dieters terminate their diet efforts, it is common for overeating to ensue. Overeating and even "normal eating" with a suppressed metabolism will cause the weight that was lost to come back. The failure rate of dieting (95%) is so high, not because people aren't good enough or strong enough but because our bodies were DESIGNED to FIGHT weight loss." "Dieting may not be the cause of eating disorders, but it is often a precursor. The National Eating Disorders Association reports that 35% of "normal dieters" progress to pathological dieting and that 20-25% of those individuals develop eating disorders. It is far too common that eating disorders start off as dieting. Dieting can be a way for individuals to exercise control -counting calories and fat grams, limiting types and amounts of food, and watching the numbers drop on the scale. Focusing on dieting and weight loss can be a "perfect" escape from true emotions and issues. Not only can the focus on dieting and weight loss be distracting, but also dieters tend to have slower reaction time and less ability to concentrate due to lack of adequate nutrition."
- **The anorexic's brain to offer clues in obesity battle? - No no no no no. So, they want to GIVE people anorexia so they are not "fat." Seriously,not okay.It's things like this that make it REALLY important that we all love ourselves and think for ourselves. Yes fat can be healthy, yes, fat can be sexy. Don't listen to these "professionals" that "care" for you.
- Anorexia [/ Dieting] @ Uncyclopedia - Note: Supposed to be humor, but like Idoicracy the humor is much too real and takes an eerie serious role. Notice how accurate it is to dieting and diet culture
- Anorexia as national policy @ Uncyclopedia - Anorexia has become extremely popular all over the world.Among the startling changes that America took after electing self-styled "transformational" President Barack Obama, anorexia was established as official government policy. The changes were subtle at first, with First Lady Michelle Obama — herself hardly at risk of the ailment — starting a health campaign called "Let's Move!" and agitating for unhealthy food at school cafeterias to be replaced with broccoli-based dishes that would be purchased and discarded, the pupil salvaging only the penny-sized garnish of fat-free cheese. Mayors across America used Health Departments and food inspections to eliminate large servings of soda pop.In 2010, the President's signature health-care reform was passed, and agencies from the IRS to the new Health Choices Administration, suspiciously staffed with low-calorie radicals, would enforce the "new austerity." Americans would come to find that they could not only keep their original plan if they liked it, but could not keep that second portion of mashed potatoes and gravy. About the resulting pangs of hunger, the President famously said, "Maybe you'd be better off with a pain pill."The Republicans, coincidentally weighing in at an average 300 pounds, were curiously unpersuasive in opposition to the imposition of anorexia on a hungry nation — which took time away from being curiously unpersuasive on their other goals." Note: Supposed to be humor, but like Idoicracy the humor is much too real and takes an eerie serious role.
- My Eating Disorder Would Have Loved “My Plate”@Voice in Recovery - "So it addresses fats but it also puts it in terms of calories. My normal is definitely over that. And only 6 teaspoons of fat allowed? ........I am glad I have my own dietitian [and self] to tell me what is appropriate for my body, my mind, and my level of activity."
- People Aren't Normally Praised For Their Eating Disorders, But She Was For One Sad Reason (because she was fat) - "Powerful poem with a hopeful ending. "If you develop an eating disorder when you are already thin to begin with, you to go the hospital," she explains. "If you develop an eating disorder when you are not thin to begin with, you are a success story." What is particularly upsetting to me is how many of the tactics that her eating disorder used are taught to children: counting calories, teaching them to think of foods in terms of how much they have to exercise to burn off the calories... *Trigger warning" - Found on The Feeding Doctor
- Measuring body at via calipers, underwater immersion tests, ultersounds and bioelectrical impedance to measure fitness is the same level of obessesin over body fat as anorexic people have.
- is my blog pro-ana / is a blog pro-ana? do you/does it:
- Woman ‘Physically Sick’ After Her Anorexia Photo Used In ‘Amazing’ Weight Loss Story by Cherie Berkley - Sengillo’s story “underscores the dangers of our culture’s glorification of thinness,” Claire Mysko, director of programs for the National Eating Disorders Association, tells Yahoo Health. “There is a widespread assumption that weight loss pictures are positive and motivational, and that the drive for thinness is always [a] healthy one. In fact, as Anne Marie’s experience clearly indicates, that drive can be life-threatening.” A person’s physical and emotional health cannot be judged by body size, she adds. “People with eating disorders are routinely complimented — ‘Oh, you look great. Have you lost weight?’ — which sadly validates their behavior and can further entrench their illness,” she says. “Thinner bodies aren’t necessarily healthier bodies. And when a company chooses an image of illness as the ideal, that should be a wake-up call that this before/after weight loss imagery can be toxic for everyone.”
- The Good, Bad and Ugly of Food and Fitness Blogging @US News - "Freeman says part of the appeal of this "eat like me, look like me" approach is the whispered promise of thinness. "And a lot of what these bloggers advocate – less sugar, more vegetables – is perfectly sensible. But it is often served up with a hefty side dish of misinformation and encouragement of food phobias. After all, being obsessive about healthy eating isn't actually all that healthy."In a similar article in the Daily Mail, Poppy Cross revealed that many of the bloggers who are attempting to inspire their audiences to live healthier lives are battling a secret fitness addiction and suffer from eating disorders."Encouraging others to live a balanced, active lifestyle is a good thing," she writes. "However, in the fitness-blog community, faked and photo-shopped selfies are commonplace. And I'm worried that they hide their eating disorders in plain sight, inadvertently encouraging their followers to do the same."

- THE FOOD BABE WAY: 21 DAYS TO AN EATING DISORDER @ SciBabe
- Deadliest Psychiatric Disorder: Anorexia
- Mental Illnesses as monsters!
- Disordered Eating and Dieting @ National Eating Disorders Collaboration. "Examples of disordered eating include:Fasting or chronic restrained eating. Skipping meals...Restrictive dieting.Unbalanced eating (e.g. restricting a major food group such as ‘fatty’ foods or carbohydrates)...Steroid and creatine use – supplements designed to enhance athletic performance and alter physical appearance.Using diet pills. "Of course this site "fat shames". Ignore it. I am going to say they mean weight gain from your body thinking it has to hold onto fat, not weight gain in the sense of eating too many calories because it would make no sense to "fat shame" on an eating disorder website.
- When did disordered eating become normal? from the radiant fox - All around me friends and family are dieting. It feel like all they are talking about how they can loose that extra pound. In a vegan community, a healthy lifestyle, where people thrive of fruits and vegetables and don't fear carbs, eating is taken to another extreme. To an obsession over how many calories you can stuff in, even if you feel like you can't. It's a fine line when it comes to a full-on-eating disorder, restricting, binging or "simply" disordered eating. But it's so sad to see how we seem to have lost touch with our intuition. And I don't mean only eat when you are hungry and stop the second when you are full. Because food is also for joy, to enjoy and you will never be able to eat fully without emotion. It's about mindfulness. Mindfully listening to your body and mindfully enjoying your delicious meal with all senses.Be kind to yourself and your body!"

Diet diaries and "ana," or "mia" diaries are eerily similar.
People don't see this because they are obviously not on pro-ana sites. Posting to show how dieting and disordered eating/eating orders are similar. I'm putting "ana" in front of diaries from people who have anorexia so you can tell the difference. People think people suffering just don not eat and that is not the case. notice both diaries from dieters and people who have an ED focus on calories, both focus on burning /getting rid of those calories so they do not gain weight, both focus on "bad foods" and "good foods"

- It's Time To Admit It: I'm Totally Back In The Eating Disorder Game -- But Not The One You Think @ xoJane - "Fat acceptance and intuitive eating and mindful eating were, for me, a ladder out of my "food problems" (to be all euphemistically minimizing about it). I never had to try to label anything; I never had to admit the depth of my issues with food. I only had to give myself permission to relearn hunger and satiety cues. I only had to teach myself how to listen to my own body.That these were the more manageable tasks compared to actually admitting that I had an eating disorder is telling....But after a while, there were an increasing number of comments from readers of all sizes -- they wanted to know why was I talking about not eating when everyone knows: the only eating disorder fatties have is overeating. Binge eating disorder. Well, maybe fatties are allowed to be bulimic. I weigh over 300 pounds. A 20-year cycle of dieting led me here. I'm fine with my body because it's my body -- and because realizing that there was an alternative to hating myself literally saved my life. I am, by and large, happy. But none of that actually means I don't still have struggles with food, even when I'm at my best. None of that means I don't still have an eating disorder.There's no real name for just not eating if you're fat. Yes, there's anorexia. But that also involves being underweight, at least according to the official diagnosis. And there's EDNOS -- eating disorder not otherwise specified. But mostly there is this idea that, if you are fat -- especially if you are as fat as I am -- not eating is precisely what you should be doing. Not eating is your duty as a fat person. Not eating is a healthy lifestyle choice to make because obviously eating is what got you into this mess (this body, this fat body that will not conform to social expectations) in the first place.There was a doctor, then, the last doctor I saw for around 10 years, who told me that not eating was a good thing, that we all simply ate way too much. A head of broccoli should last me more than a week. He hooked me up to an EKG machine (and I, much younger and uncertain and more vulnerable than I allow myself to be now, simply opened my shirt so he could stick the sensors on my chest) without explanation; he never told me why he wanted the data or what the results indicated. He told me that he often recommended starvation diets -- they were a healthy choice."
Elimination diets
Many people claim to stay away from certain foods, or limit intake due to calorie count and the word "fat" even though there is a difference between good fats and bad fats just because of the word "fat" just because something has a lot of calories doesn't mean it's bad for you.They don't look at the health benefits, just the calories.
"Obviously there are a lot of people out there who are trying to tell you what you should and should not eat. Some of them are "foodies" motivated by aesthetic or "local" communitarian considerations; others are selling diet books or promoting the latest food fad. ..Another sign of how central questions about food have become, however, is somewhat less serious. All over the Internet one can find clips of comedy routines poking fun at "foodies," "health nuts," "locavores," "freegans," and other people with newfangled diet-restrictions." -The Ethics of Eating class @ Cornell. (you may have to sign up to see the page)
These are people who are on a diet and want everyone else to be as well so they say certain foods are "BAD and evil" even though they are not bad for you, they are bad to eat (*cough* gluten and oils *cough*) if you are trying to lose weight as they can prevent you from losing weight. Bad foods are bad, natural whole foods are not.

Bad foods are bad, natural whole foods are not.
*veganism is not about eliminating food groups. Vegans replace dairy milk with plant- based milks, meat with faux meat. We are not all freelee the banana girl. Table sugar is bad for you, replace sugar, oils with healthier versions (ex. coconut sugar or cane sugar)
Intermi... fasting
Not even posting links, or the entire word as it is glorified Anorexia. Any diet that tells you to not eat even if it is for a day is never okay. It suggests that starving yourself or by not eating/fasting that is a great weight loss tool. It suggests that simply not eating can help you lose weight. What does that remind you of. Seriously, doctors recommend this? If your doctor recommends starving yourself he or she is an idiot and you need to get away from them. That is exactly what anorexia is. This IS anorexia with a different name. All of a sudden it's okay to starve yourself if you slap a different name onto it? I highly doubt it.
Low-Calorie Diet /Modified Very Low Calorie Diet
Again, glorified Anorexia. It does not matter if it is prescribed or recommended by a doctor or not. If your doctor recommended this, switch and get far away from him or her. Weightism wins over health, again! The Cambridge Diet is one of these. I've been to pro-ana forums and these "diets" are prettymuch taken right from the books of pro-ana sites.
Low calorie versions of food.

“eating disorder” self-schema in dieting
- Do female dieters have an “eating disorder” self-schema? @ Journal of Eating Disorders - "Dieters endorsed significantly more ED relevant words compared to non-dieters, whereas non-dieters rejected significantly more ED relevant words compared to dieters. Reaction times to endorsements and rejections were non-significant when the two groups were compared. In a surprise recall task, dieters recalled significantly more ED relevant words."
