Nutritional counseling for eating disorders Nutritionists help clients stabilize eating patterns by addressing dietary defi – ciencies and excesses and correcting food- and weight-related distortions with education about the body’s functioning and nutritional requirements.
Clients are helped to eat a variety of healthful foods and, when necessary, to
restore their weight to a normal level. Special attention is paid to restrictive
eating, which produces many of the symptoms associated with anorexia and
perpetuates the binge/purge cycle by producing overwhelming urges to eat.
Nutritionists oft en use meal plans, which help counter entrenched tendencies
to under- or overeat.
