Is it Dieting or Disordered Eating? A Critique on Dieting With Anika Roy

Savana Antonation, MSW RSW

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between dieting and disordered eating? What happens when you don't eat enough? What determines how "fast" or "slow" your metabolism is? In this episode Savana sits down with Anika Roy - eating disorder survivor who's currently finishing her Master's in Nutrition, and they do a deep dive together on where diets fall short despite the rate of dieting being the highest it's ever been. 

This episode covers everything from signs that your dieting may have tipped over into disordered eating, the dangers of restricting food too much, the variables that impact your metabolism and body size, to a critique on common diets such as 75 hard, the Keto diet, and Intermittent fasting.
