Eating Disorder Risk and Severity as a Function of Following Self-Administered Popular Diets

Abstract: Objectives Adherence to popular diets has increased in recent years. This is concerning as extreme dieting behaviors, which may develop as a result of following certain diets, can increase risk for developing an eating disorder (ED). We assessed whether adherence to popular diets (i.e., gluten free, vegetarian, paleo, and clean eating) is related to ED diagnosis and severity. We hypothesized that adherence to any popular diet would be associated with ED risk, while adherence to an increasing … Show more

“…Initial research supports the potential impact of "clean" labels on these concerns, suggesting that favorable attitudes toward "clean" diets are linked with disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, including symptoms of ON (Ambwani, Shippe, Gao, & Austin, 2019), and higher levels of restrained eating, a risk factor for eating disorders (Allen, Dickinson, & Prichard, 2018). Moreover, among women admitted for outpatient or partial hospitalization care for eating disorders, diet history was linked with eating disorder diagnosis with a trend toward "clean" eating being more common among those diagnosed with EDNOS (Shahan, Jordan, Siegfried, Douglas, & Lawrence, 2020). One study also reported higher rates of ON symptoms after treatment for AN and BN (as compared to matched nonclinical controls), suggesting that "clean" diets may also mask existing eating disorder symptoms as socially acceptable "health" behaviors and thus prevent detection of illness (Segura-Garcia et al, 2015).…”

“…However, our results reflect what is known in the current dietary literature, where mental health word frequency was found to be highest in a diet with rules about carbohydrate intake [ 20 , 21 ], whereas diets rich in carbohydrate-containing foods, such as whole grains and vegetables, are associated with beneficial effects on mental well-being [ 91 ]. Similarly, eating disorder word frequency was found to be the highest in 2 dietary patterns governed by a set of rules and restrictions, which may also correspond with eating disorder symptomology [ 92 , 93 ].…”
