ABSTRACT
Strange as it may seem, eating disorders are not about food or weight. In this chapter, you’ll learn about the clinical criteria for the diagnoses of all eating disorders, set point theory, thermodynamic theory, how many calories it takes to gain one pound in a day, the Ancel Keys’ semi-starvation study, and psychoeducational information and affirmations to help you overcome thoughts and behaviors that enslave you to your eating disorder.
