All those diets…
Is your friend constantly talking about some new diet? Are they talking about calories all the time? Are you tired of those stories because it seems like your friend stopped talking about anything else but dieting? This is a warning sign.

Let’s say that your child has suddenly stopped eating carbohydrates. If someone is cutting a whole food group, then this would be a really alarming sign that such person has an eating disorder. Also, people tend to lie how they have an allergy or even some disease so they won’t need to explain themselves why they are not eating some food group. Listen and watch their behaviors carefully.
