[quote=Anonymous]OP I think the issue with all the conflicting posts is it's sort of like when someone with genetic wiring for alcoholism first tries alcohol vs. someone who is not as at risk. Alcohol isn't bad in moderation and has health benefits. However, many alcoholics will tell you the first sip sometimes was the start of the slip into hell. Many people can get excited about healthy eating and exercise and decrease processed food and avoid sugar without it turning into an eating disorder ever. The problem is for some it was the start. There is a lot of interesting research on what genetic factors put people more at risk. I believe the people who say for them it was a red flag. I also believe the people who like myself have always been within the normal range and who even in middle age are quite healthy, but still envy those people who can eat anything. I am compulsive with my exercise for both health reasons and because I like how I look fit. I am adamant about healthy low to no processed whole foods eating because I feel fantastic when I do it, I enjoy being in good health and I like how I look. One person's healthy drink to keep up cardiovascular health and unwind on a weekend is another person's descent into alcoholism. Look up the research. It sounds like you have no family history that you know of with EDs which is good as well, but there is a lot of shame for some so you may not know.[/quote]
