[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly OP just reading this is huge red flags.  She is 11.  Most 11 years olds "work out" by being involved in sports, biking the neighborhood, going on hikes with their families, dog walks, etc.  Your daughter is by herself watching youtube workout videos.  That alone is a red flag.  She is well on her way to disordered eating at a young age.  The whole baking something that is long, complicated and aesthetically pleasing can be a sign of an eating disorder.  The cutting out types of food IS a sign.  So while she may never get to full flown eating disorder she is on her way to a terrible relationship with food and most importantly her body.  Nip this in the bud now![/quote]

Cutting out all carbs is a sign of disordered eating. That is what is meant by cutting food groups. News flash....sugar is not a food group. Avoiding processed junk food is not a sign of anything but a kid who is ahead of the other kids. Talk to real experts- those who do research in this area. Ask a pediatric endocrinologist if it's a red flag for a kid to avoid table sugar. That doctor will probably high five your kid.[/quote]
