Are you referring to hormones etc or the ‘other’ ED?
Keto Eating Disorder trigger?

Even for the other ED (eating disorder), one would hope that keto would help with that. For me, it has lessened wild mood swings, decreased depression, constant hunger, etc. I think that would help, but I don’t know enough about eating disorders to know whether reducing/curing these also affect eating disorders.

The psychiatrist, Dr. Georgia Ede, has made comments in several of her lectures that she believes that a well-formulated ketogenic diet can help regularize a patient’s relationship with food.
If you are afraid of triggering yourself by measuring, bear in mind that the only thing that you really care about is keeping your carbohydrate low enough to become fat-adapted. You could even avoid measuring that, by simply eating as small an amount of carbohydrate as you can manage.
Although, as a sugar/carb addict, I worry about bingeing, so far I have found that the times I’ve overdone the carbohydrate or even had a bit of sugar have not yet triggered a binge. The ketogenic diet is satisfying enough, and my tolerance for a sweet taste has dropped enough, that I am now fairly satisfied by a small amount. I’m still not going to make a habit of relaxing my guard, however!

yes same…the problem was that i was so ashamed that i “fell off” keto after doing so well, that i felt desperate and that triggered a purge. if you stay strict, it’s actually made me feel in control of what was a spiralling way of living. i can’t speak to anorexia though.

Definitely! I got fully back on the keto train on Christmas Day and have had no issues since. I don’t ever want to go back!!! Good luck to you, my friend!
