[quote=Anonymous]OP, happy to answer your question: so far, I have basically ignored my MIL's disordered "clean" eating. She has a restrictive diet that she says is necessary for various medical conditions (gluten intolerance, acid reflux, something something about nightshades, etc.), but it tends to just hew to a carb, sugar, dairy and gluten free diet with a lot of fad supplements. She constantly talks about how she can't keep weight on, but won't touch a carb, fatty meat, or dessert. She will completely skip meals if her preferred food is not available or is not what is being served. She also regularly remarks about what others are eating or not eating. Cooks unhealthy food when hosting and then eats something separately herself. Will make dramatic declarations that aren't entirely true ("I would never serve my kids X" etc.). I just try to model balanced eating and being a flexible eater and a good guest, and don't play into her games about talking about weight and so forth.
