restrictive eating

Restrictive eating is when someone limits or significantly reduces their food intake, often avoiding certain foods or entire food groups. This behavior can stem from concerns about weight, body image, or health but may lead to an inadequate intake of essential nutrients. Over time, restrictive eating can cause physical issues like fatigue, weakness, and nutrient deficiencies, and may also impact mental well-being, leading to increased stress or disordered eating patterns. It’s important to approach eating with balance and listen to your body's needs, and seek professional guidance if restrictive eating becomes problematic.
