If you are someone who has followed fad diets or severely restricted your diet to quickly lose weight, you will likely have to gain some weight before you can healthfully lose fat — regardless of your starting weight. This approach can be discouraging, but it is vital if you want to truly recover from the negative impact of restrictive eating.

In our latest blog post, we discuss a case study showing how the body heals from restrictive eating. Read here: https://bit.ly/3WmfznU

While some individuals fit into the classic eating disorder categories (like anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa), many do not fit into these categories. They often have elements of one eating disorder combined with facets of others. This is known as OSFED. As a result, this patient population has been neglected and often becomes very sick.

With our machines at The Kahm Clinic, we are exceptionally good at honing in on the problem, and because we can see the problem so clearly, we can help this population. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/2DxbeK4

We define perfectionism as a self-protective mechanism that posits, “If I do everything exactly right, I can escape any pain that comes from my struggles.” It’s this idea that, if you control everything, you can also control how the world perceives you.

For boys in the same age group, 45 percent reported similar eating routines. In our latest blog post, we discuss the connection between body image issues and social media.
