A very important component at eating disorder clinics is nutritional counseling. People who suffer from eating disorders have to unlearn some very unhealthy habits and relationships with food. They have abused food destructively and have to learn healthy eating techniques. For example, anorexia patients are often dangerously malnourished, some near death. They have deprived their body’s system of food for such a long time that the body now has to get used to eating healthy again. Some foods could be harmful to the body’s system if introduced too soon. Nutritionists will help with meal plans, setting dietary goals, and achieving a healthy weight.
