LC helped to correct the underlying depression, anxiety and sugar addiction that lead me to an ED. I ended up anorexic because it was honestly easier to starve than try to "moderate" like the so-called experts tell us to.
On LC, the body image stuff improved somewhat with my moods and clearer thinking, but I think for a lot of people, that can require cognitive/behavioural therapy or something of that ilk.
Yeah, I've had problems with disordered eating since I was a teenager.
It's still a struggle, but one thing that LC does help with in recovering from eating disorders is that my mood is a lot more stable with I'm not eating sugar, and I don't have to go hungry to lose weight so there's much less risk of falling back into the restrict + binge cycle.
