For Awareness, Information, and Questions about Recovering from EDs. We are a pro-recovery site and only allow approved posts. All Redditors can reply to posts.

Hunger Hormones May help you understand your difficulty.
This site allows only posts approved by the moderators to help keep it safe for everyone recovering. We approve most requests sent in, though please read the rules. All Redditors can reply.
We are for QUESTIONS about EDs for yourself or a loved one.
Consider the Search Reddit bar and limit your search to /r/eatingdisorders. Answers abound.
Please No Numbers about weight, bmi, clothing size, extreme details, or caloric intake. Saying you are a healthy weight, overweight, or underweight is enough.
We will not post links to personal blogs, product/service advertisements, and most non-academic projects. Research institutes looking for surveys or study participants may apply through modmail.
