DISORDER
WHY THERE IS
EATING DISORDER?
1. Genetic. Some genes identified in the contribution to eating disorders
have been shown to be associated with specific personality traits.
It typically begins during adolescence and early adulthood, although it can develop later on.
Individuals with this disorder have symptoms similar to those of bulimia or the binge eating
subtype of anorexia.
For instance, they typically eat unusually large amounts of food in relatively short periods of
time and feel a lack of control during binges.
4. Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)
The term replaces what was known as a "feeding disorder of infancy and
early childhood," a diagnosis previously reserved for children under 7 years
old.
Individuals with this disorder experience disturbed eating either due to a lack
of interest in eating or distaste for certain smells, tastes, colors, textures, or
temperatures.
“Eating disorders are illnesses, not character flaws or
choices. Individuals don’t choose to have an eating disorder.
You also can’t tell whether a person has an eating disorder
just by looking at their appearance. People with eating
disorders can be underweight, normal weight or overweight.
It’s impossible to diagnose anyone just by looking at them.” –

FOUR TYPES OF

FUELLING FOR
PERFORMANCE
1. Fuel eating. When we engage in fuel eating, we know that we
are eating to provide nutrition to our bodies. Fuel foods are
nutrient dense and include foods like fruits, vegetables, lean
meats, complex carbohydrates and healthy fats. Fuel eating
should occur 90% of the time.
2. Joy Eating. This is when you eat food simply because it tastes
good. It just tastes good in your mouth.
3. Fog Eating. This is when you eat and are not conscious of it. It
could be eating a bag of chips while watching our favorite program
on television and not realizing how much until the bag of chips is
empty.
4. Storm Eating. This is eating when you are not hungry, however
you realize it but feel that you can’t stop even though you may
want to.
