This was great but BMI is meaningless if a person is athletic/muscular, I don’t know why it continues to be used, especially in these scenarios that include people who exercise a lot.

It's very well done, but as I actually have an eating disorder (binge eating) I would like to underline that it's actually not good/useful to have a strict diet, as it could lead to be too much hungry and to binge again. Of course, if you are used to eat a lot (even during meals) a normal diet would lead you to be hungry, more than the usual, but it shouldn't be excessicevely strict unless you are severely obese and need to lose lots of kg quickly for health reasons. I have a diet of almost 1500kcal daily (and it's a pretty normal kcal intake for a healthy woman) and I still am losing weight. Apart from it the video is well done.

Your videos are clear and the visual representation is also phenomenal. Keep at it!

Some things people can’t handle (not being rude): Not all anorexics are thin. There is no anorexia body type. People with anorexia can purge / throw up their food. People with eating disorders can show symptoms of multiple eating disorders without it being EDNOS. Anorexics and bulimics do eat. (Surprise surprise) Not every anorexic is underweight. Not every binge eater is overweight. Anorexics can binge. Bulimics can be underweight too. Bulimia, BED, pica, EDNOS and other eating disorders can be just as hard to treat as anorexia. Anorexia isn’t the only eating disorder. - This comment isn’t directed to anyone.

Is there a specific reason why body fat percentage is not used instead of bmi?

@waldmann7777

I think it's because people with an eating disorder lose weight in a very unhealthy way, which makes them lose a lot of muskle, so it's more about bmi or weight than fat percentage.

For exercise bulimia this is a dangerous scale to use. Because they could have an excellent BMI but be dangerously low in body fat.

Because body-fat percentage can’t be easily found without a professional’s assessment. BMI is the general range for a large group of people.

I am curious about your recommendation to "obviously" recommend a strict diet and exercise for someone with BED. I specialize in the treatment of EDs and I would almost never recommend a strict diet.

Great and consistent summarization skills in these videos 📹 👏

What about people who flip between binge eating like one day a week and then going barely any thing the other dayd

Wow that was the best tool to teach.

Much appreciated 🙏♥️

I've had periods where I did binge eating and compensated with fasting. My weight stays within a 10 pound range. In my experience, binge eating comes from subconscious 'food anxiety', so basically the perception that food may be scarce later, therefore I need to binge. I cured my binge eating by always satisfying my hunger cues, and surrounding myself with plenty of food, including possible trigger foods. I've trained my subconscious to relieve itself of food anxiety and my binging episodes have dropped to 1 or 2 per month, as opposed to 2-4 times per week when I was at my worst. I still occasionally indulge in overeating, but there is no guilt or need for compensatory behavior. Binge eating is about a vicious cycle of binging and guilt and compensation. The cure is to give your body what it needs and take away the anxiety of food scarcity, and that means including trigger foods in your life. Once your subconscious learns that there is no shortage of food, and that triggers foods are 100% okay to eat, binging behavior goes away effortlessly.

This was super super helpful

Wow ! What a wonderful video , really you made medicine easy! 🙏 But just 50 views 😐

So my question would be, the only difference between the binge/purge subtype of anorexia, and bulimia, is the BMI?

@@noahinthereal I’ve seen both types, some b/p anorexic’s are scared of eating for too long or too much when binging but some of them can eat between 5,000 to even over 10,000 calories a day in some cases. I’ve seen some severely underweight individuals who eat so much (probably because of the starvation) but I do agree that it’s also about behavior. Anorexia Restrictive and Binge/purge has a similar thought process.

How do you spell callist

Furthermore, one can also have bulimia and be underweight

can you have binge eating disorder and be a normal weight

I don’t think I’m anorexic although I restrict food to the point i go 14 to 30 days no food then if i eat I binge and vomit when my body physically can’t puke i abuse the laxatives i was extremely obese 108 kg now I’m 64 and I’m still super fat so I don’t know what am I all I know is I have a problem

Using BMI as a necessary symptom to be diagnosed with anorexia is hugely fat-phobic - people can have eating disorders and have normal BMIs and it is extremely damaging and invalidating as well as plain dangerous to exclude these people from the definition of anorexia and, therefore, from treatment for it.

Some of this information is fine but wow is this video fatphobic. First of all anorexia doesn't always mean being underweight. In fact, people in larger bodies often face significant health risks because even when they are exhibiting disordered eating behaviors seen in anorexia - like extreme restriction and purging - they are praised for trying to lose weight. Secondly, recommending a strict diet and exercise routine for someone with binge eating disorder is absolutely the worst thing you could possibly do. Someone with binge eating disorder needs to have their focused shifted away from food and body image, not be told to fixate on it even more. This kind of misinformation is extremely dangerous especially when published on a platform like this.

How is it fatphobic? These are things we are taught in psychology courses by professors who were also board certified practicing psychologists. We spent a good portion of one of our sessions if not the entire session to learn about the differences between bulimia and anorexia and the weight is definitely a factor. It was also a question on one of our exams because it's important to be able to distinguish between the two. When we watched videos to help us observe people with these disorders the anorexics were all underweight and couldn't maintain their body heat. There's a reason why the two need to be differentiated, weight being one of the biggest factors. It's not just a mindset because the state of the body also plays a huge role. I can go on and on but I'm guessing factual information is always going to be considered fatphobic to some.

@@garlicbread4792 as a therapist, bulimia and anorexia can be experienced by people in bodies of all shapes and sizes - it is not restricted to people in small bodies. Significant weight loss in a short time period is often celebrated for people in big bodies - especially in the medical community - while it is seen as a cause for concern in people in smaller bodies. That is fatphobic. No matter your size, extreme restriction/starvation is not healthy and is extremely dangerous.
