The Telegraph article (from your link "Don't assume guilt for your child's anorexia") mentions a "a groundbreaking Swedish paper from 2007" in which healthy males ate a reduced diet and which "suggested that the physical process of starving yourself could of itself trigger the symptoms of anorexia in the brain."
This sounds like a contemporary variation on the 1945 Ansel Keys study. It would be interesting to see research showing similar results, but I haven't heard of the Keys experiment being duplicated (understandably).
Alas, the Telegraph is not a scholarly journal and I guesss is not obliged to cite the actual paper. Are you familiar with this study and what it did/showed?
Thank you for the link to the "Independence from ED" article! I'm four months into treatment and the possibility of recovery is just starting to peek around the corner at me and come up as a topic. I loved this: "The essence of treatment is to find a path where change will occur because it is not preordained that you wont get better." So precise. I'm new to your blog but really am loving what I'm finding so far!! Thank you! :)
