For people like me, the NHS ‘soup and shake’ diet could be dangerous

The Independent  

We are constantly told that having excess fat is a danger to our health. Eating disorders shouldn’t be trivialised as “diets gone wrong”, but research has shown that starving yourself for any length of time can tip people who might be genetically vulnerable into anorexic-type thoughts and preoccupation with their weight and shape. Binge eating disorder typically occurs among people with higher weights and is associated with metabolic problems like type 2 diabetes. People with binge eating disorder might ask for this new diet programme without being offered any psychological help, and it could make things worse. These might include hidden eating disorders but could also relate to the food environment and education, food insecurity and poverty – plus a whole other range of problems, for which there is no silver bullet.
