Orthorexia Nervosa - when healthy eating goes too far



With a sharp rise in â??free-fromâ?? diets and detoxing trends, Maddy Trimmer explores what happens when healthy eating goes too far. Orthorexia Nervosa begins as an innocent attempt to eat more healthily, but as sufferers develop an obsession with food quality and purity, it takes over their lives. A former Orthorexic describes her experiences and the extreme consequences on her mind and body. And Maddy travels to Leeds to meet a leading dietician, asking when our own healthy lifestyle choices put us within Orthorexic boundaries.

Current healthfood industry experts give their thoughts on the future of dieting. The film delves further into the psychology behind Orthorexia, to find out why increasing numbers of normal people are being diagnosed. It asks whether these trends are concerning, or if Orthorexia is simply a phrase blown out of proportion by the mass-media.

Will Maddy be forced to question what she believes to be healthy? Do experts consider Orthorexia a real eating disorder? And if so, how do we strike a balance between this lifestyle approach, and mental well-being?
