>The word dieting should never be used when talking or writing to someone with ED. A nutrionist wouldn't do it either. They would use "sticking to a meal plan". Say Diet to someone with ED and they will think " you think I am fat and I need to lose weight!" That person will then lose 20 pounds.
I've been there and that's the reality.
When a person is in recovery from an ED they are not on a diet.
