But, the truth is, it is something emotional. These people have a different and false image of themselves. Check out the signs people with eating disorders have:

 

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.

 

And all those food groups

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.

 

Exercising

They don’t look well as they used to

”I feel so cold”

If you didn’t know, people who don’t eat regularly may feel cold easier and most of the times while other people don’t. Their body temperature will fall down because their body wants to slow down their metabolism with a purpose to keep some fat from burning it.
