After Emily Fonnesbeck had her first child, she was eager to get her body back. As a registered dietitian, she knew what she had to do: She started with at least an hour of cardio six days a week, and cut out processed foods.
A clean diet was the ideal, and hers would be immaculate. Fonnesbeck eliminated all animal products and nuts, then most fruits, until she was down to a random handful of foods she deemed “pure” enough: purple cabbage, corn tortillas, brown rice, lentils, kale, and tahini. Coined by Colorado physician Steven Bratman, M.D., in 1997, orthorexia nervosa is an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. Unlike most other eating disorders, it focuses on the quality of food rather than the quantity. Often it starts innocently with the desire to eat “clean,” a ubiquitous term to describe the act of mindfully ingesting only whole foods in their most natural state. But it progressively hardens into a rigid eating style that can crowd out other activities and relationships.
The desire for rules and rituals surrounding food is understandable—a reasonable reaction against genetically modified crops; scary additives; contradictory and confusing food studies; pesticide residues; and lax FDA regulations. But things get problematic when clean eating becomes an unrealistic quest for perfect health.
When people bore those around them to tears with their obsession? When they ruin my enjoyment of a beautiful meal skilfully prepared by telling me what’s wrong with it - in their narrowly defined opinion?

Of course. But so is anorexia and compulsive exercise. We’re still obsessed with idolizing strict disciplined eating, even though the models are required to raise BMIs.
I'll bet!

Breastfeeding on demand and lots of sleep are nature’s way of giving you your body back after pregnancy. I ate lots of cake (to ensure good milk production) and weighed under my prepregnancy weight within 4 months.
Just eat something.
