Hi,
Since i keep wanting to raise the issues of low calorie consumption/energy deficit/undereating on other people's threads, i thought I'd try to gather/summarise some ideas on this and point to my sources, in the appropriate forum.
Youreatopia.com is a website run by Gwyneth Olwyn, whose area of expertise is supporting people in recovery from restrictive eating disorders, including clinical and subclinical anorexia, bulimia and orthorexia.
She writes about the physical and emotional processes in recovery, and also has some fantastic articles that contradict the dominant culture's portrayal of fat on many levels. She references and critiques relevant scientific studies.
I think some of the material is relevant for everyone, because we all get saturated in anti-fat messages all the time. And more of it is relevant for those of us who have had periods of undereating, even if we don't fit the restrictive eating disorder definititions. And some of us probably do fit those definitions.
