[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a spectrum and not so black/white. Some people restrict calories in a way that is healthy in an effort to lose weight; some people take it to the extreme and develop anorexia. Same with IF, some people do it in a healthy way, and some take it to an extreme. I do see a link between IF and orthorexia, especially in men. I've known men who continued with IF even though they felt terrible on it, sometimes for years. Some people have cleverly marketed IF as the way cavemen/hunters ate, and people adopt it fearing that if they don't, they will get fat and die of cancer. I remember hearing one sad case where a father did extreme fasting, often for 24-72 hours at a time, and his teenage daughter picked up the habit. He talked about how proud he was that she was denying herself food even though she was hungry because it proved how tough she is. [/quote]
