In this episode of Holistic Health Radio, host Sarah Liz King explores the difference between true food preferences and those driven by eating disorders. Through a series of self-reflection questions, she helps listeners determine whether their food choices stem from personal enjoyment or from restrictive rules imposed by an eating disorder. Sarah emphasises the importance of examining emotions, physical and emotional satisfaction, openness to new foods, comfort in social situations, and whether food is chosen for nourishment or as a means of controlling body weight.
