[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love bread, but do not think anything is wrong with not eating it.  Sounds like he is being careful but not extreme.  One thing - do you know he is eating at work for sure?  That is an easy way to hide extreme dieting from parents. Tell them you are eating big meals at work. [/quote]

Don’t assume he is definitely eating at work. Watch what he eats on the other days of the week. If his “big meals” are always out of your sight, that is a huge red flag. [/quote]
Agree. I would have read this post last year and wondered what the issue was because salad and lean proteins sound healthy. After watching my niece struggle with a serious case of anorexia, I will never again be dismissive if I hear of a kid suddenly and significantly changing their eating habits. As others have said, it may be fine but please carefully keep an eye on him and note any red flags. Eating disorders are really devastating to kids and their loved ones. [/quote]

+1. My DS developed disordered eating in late high school, eventually teetering on the brink of anorexia. We got treatment for him, which was very helpful and he eventually returned to a healthier weight. But at 25, he still has some anxiety around food that makes me sad. I wish I had realized much earlier how much he was restricting so we could have intervened dinner. [/quote]
