The differences between the two are mental because Ed’s are mental illnesses. What makes them different is someone’s relationship with food and with weight. It’s also not about physical health because crash diets are unhealthy as well and Ed’s can sometimes have horrible health consequences but thats not a requirement what they do all share in common is the horrible mental consequences

We got told the usual eat less sugar move more as far as health went and received petty much no information about eating disorders beyond the stereotypes in media. I think particularly conferring the rise in ed's in the uk in the last year even there should be some education on what an unhealthy relationship with food can look like warning signs of this and sustainable nutrition advice so the many teenagers who may fall into ed's due to a decision to get fit can avoid them.

      ​@@isabellag2371 Beyond overeating, eating disorders are largely social contagions among teenagers. There was a story about how in Hong Kong, a popular girls magazine wrote about an American girl suffering from bulimia. Within months, suddenly there was an epidemic of young girls with rapid onset eating disorders. The over-pathologising of the human condition has undoubtedly been a negative for society, there should be sensible advice on nutrition for kids but spreading 'awareness' about mental health and eating disorders just leads to more sick kids.

      @@ThumpRat I personally feel lack of education on healthy eating and healthy weight loss was defiantly what lead me and others I knew as a teenager down a rabbit hole of “advice” which was disordered and confusion. I understand your point that education on eating disorders is a different thing and I agree that sometimes “education” particularly accounts from people who had a eating disorder can just end up inspiring more of them and providing “tools” to further them but I also know that if my future self had told my younger self a bit about just how harmful and ineffective my disordered eating would be I would never have done that because while I knew what I was getting into was an Ed to begin with however I thought that the single consequence would be not getting to eat the food I enjoyed. It obviously a delicate and upsetting subject but they are rising rapidly romanticised and I think that teens need to be aware of the horrible reality of them

    I went from 227 in September of 2020 to 164 by June 2021. Best advice: meal prep (or at least know what you’re going to eat that day so you’re not winging it when you’re starving), weigh yourself every morning, take a progress picture once a month, have a cheat meal once a week (every Saturday for me), and most importantly: enjoy what you eat.

    Really needed this today. So glad I found your channel. A weight loss 'journey' is such a weird thing for me now in my late 30s, as my teens were made up of as little food as I could eat / get away with no one noticing. Doing a 48 hour fast that I kind of 'fell' into, and it brings back a lot of those reminders / feelings. I've been on a medically-recommended 800 calorie a day Huel diet 5 days a week for 11 weeks. I'm below 180lb for the first time in a decade, but I can so easily fall into the mindset of "not enough, not enough". Grateful for you showing that you could've lost the weight in a more healthy way. Thank you for sharing your story.

    Will, I found your channel randomly and have been making my way through a backlog of videos. I just had to say I love your content and your message, I spent 35 years of my life as the fat guy and decided enough was enough last year. Of course as most people not knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition I started out thinking I had to completely eliminate food groups or certain foods and murder cardio what felt like 19 times a day. I did that for 30 days with minimal gains and felt shitty. After that I got some great advice similar to the message you spread, and went on to lose 70 lbs In 12 months and have kept it off for 6 months while getting stronger in the gym. The look on peoples faces when they ask how I lost all the weight and I tell them I enjoyed eating things like pizza, birthday cake, ice cream and didn’t have to fully give up any of them. Everything in balance and moderation. Keep up the great work man you’re helping a ton of people 👍

    This one really hit for me Will, I was reminded of my phase of doing this where I would take an already small potion of food, and then always half it, I didn't let myself eat sweets or drink, or do anything fun, wouldn't go to any food-cenric events. I wouldn't even eat carrots because they had too much sugar. I then passed out after one drink at a party because I hadn't eaten, and went on a spiral and very quickly gained all the weight back. I always think of that sad girl and all the life she missed out on. Thanks to you and Pamela Reif I have been at a stable weight for 2 years now, which is a huge milestone for me. I really appreciate your videos. (Also, I'm in Vancouver BC, please do a doughnut road trip here, there's lots of good ones!).
