The Eating Disorder Recovery PodcastDefining Restriction. Defining Unrestricted EatingIn this podcast, Tabitha talks about restriction, and unrestricted eating. Restrictive eating disorders such as Anorexia are often misrepresented as total restriction and not eating. This is often not the case.

The key is understanding that unrestricted eating is required in order to allow the brain and body to fully exit the Anorexia response.
Redefining how you think of restriction is often the key to understanding what unrestrictive eating means for you
