So your offended that he described a medical condition using the description given by the doctor who named the condition?
Isnt that the same as me being mad for you using the same description for a word as the dictionary uses to describe it?0 -

There's no need to get upset.
What exactly is the point you are trying to make? That a discretionary calorie allowance is probably a good idea once nutritional bases have been met? I doubt anyone really disagrees with that.0 -

Ancient Greek mathematicians had already proven that the Earth was round, not flat. Pythagoras in the sixth century B.C.E. was one of the originators of the idea. Aristotle in the fourth century B.C.E. provided the physical evidence, such as the shadow of the Earth on the moon and the curvature of the Earth known by all sailors approaching land. And by the third century B.C.E., Eratosthenes determined the Earth's shape and circumference using basic geometry. In the second century C.E., Claudius Ptolemy wrote the "Almagest," the mathematical and astronomical treatise on planetary shapes and motions, describing the spherical Earth. This text was well known throughout educated Europe in Columbus' time.I am not going by "what I was told". Documentation works for me. You show me where 'SCIENCE' proved the earth was round, because I can certainly show you where Columbus was the first to prove the theory.

Heres your quote.. Alan Aragon said ”It reminds me of the counterproductive dietary perfectionism I’ve seen among many athletes, trainers and coaches. One of the fundamental pitfalls of dichotomizing foods as good or bad, or clean or dirty, is that it can form a destructive relationship with food,”
You can use that because he actually said it, unlike what you qyuoted him as saying.... which he never said in either of the links provided..
what does this prove? Not much.. Besides your lack of credibility and thae fact that you twist articles to fit your platform and views.. Which makes you biased...
Im done here.... youre just trolling since page one...0 -

no confirmed diagnostic application?? please explain
I honestly wonder if you even understand what orthorexia is. If you dont believe it exists, I don't know how.0 -
I would stay away from Gary Null. I went to one of his lectures and he was so off base on something he said about gluten that I almost got up and walked out. He has misinformation and isn't grounded in the science. (I have a doctorate in Food Science and have read a lot of the hard data out there and know when misinformation is being spread).
adding a link that might shed light on Mr Null:

The irony here is actually hilarious.
Orthorexia has no confirmed diagnostic basis - it is essentially a hypothesis. The OP has recommended that perhaps alternative viewpoints which do not yet have a confirmed scientific verification should be considered. People who claim to be scientifically minded then do what exactly the OP suggest by insinuating people who seem particularly concerned with "clean" eating are othorexic.
Hahahaha. I love these forums.

Explain it to me scientifically then with reference to a medical journal or publication which sanctions a diagnosis of orthorexia.
Clearly I have no idea what it may be.0 -

the semantics here are ridiculous.
if you ASKED Aragon straight up "what does orthorexia mean?" he would use that quote or a variation on it. that's what he believes it to mean.There's a term for taking the obsession with righteous/perfectionistic/"clean" eating to extremes, and it's called orthorexia.

thats not orthorexia at all and just cuz morons think it is doesnt mean that you can angue from that standpoint....
people who refuse to eat any fat are orthorexic... you need fat to function properly... making fat a taboo creates a deficiency that is very bad for your long term health...
that is orthorexia....
there are plenty of deficiencies that can AND HAVE developed in many individuals...
You could eat "clean" food (hate that ****ing word) every day all day and not be orthorexic.... many people do...
here enlies the problem with those individuals.... the second you say you eat "clean" you insinuate taht there is a dirty counterpart... if you just said you always eat healthily you wouldnt have the word "orthorexic" flying around so much.... its not such a negative connotation to use the word unhealthy in contrast with the word dirty....
if you're a normal health person, who is scared of bacon, there is something wrong with you... same with just about any food so long as you dont have some medical condition..... this is mild orthorexia.. it may not be enough to be damaging, but its not sound reasoning0 -

it's amazing to me that you can so clearly define a mental condition that has never even been defined by modern psychology...
you - sir - deserve a nobel prize methinks.0 -
Orthorexic is defined by Alan Aragon as “an unhealthy obsession with eating healthy food.”
This is a very dumbed down definition and doesn't represent what orthorexia truly is. Most of the time people who are orthorexic will continue to eliminate food groups they deem as unhealthy. This obsession can lead to malnutrition when critical nutrients may be eliminated from the diet.
When you don't include the entire definition, then you make it sound as if he is hating on people who like nutritious foods. That's not the case. There is a line that can be crossed when stressing over "clean" foods becomes unhealthy.
that was from his website.
I have been called orthorexic. that alone should tell you that the already fake word is easily corrupted and misused, as my nutrition is outstanding.
I know someone who is orthorexic. It began when he started researching the paleo diet and transformed into an extreme eating disorder where he doesn't eat any fat or carbs, at all. It's clearly detrimental because he has physically degenerated quite a bit. He looks ill all the time and has no energy, but can't be persuaded that carbs and fat are good for you in moderation.
While orthorexia may be a new, unproven theory, I have no doubt that it exists.0 -

and while holistic medicine and nutrition may be unproven, i have no doubt IT exists.
point is, both sides are not so very different as they'd like to believe.0 -
OP why are you all butt hurt about people calling you orthorexic.
I see two options
A. You are orthorexic and you refuse tyo admit it
or
B. You think the world revolves around you and your self esteem is low and you take these remarks as personal attacks..
Please tell me option C
You either are or you arent
If I call you gay are you going to argue that Homosexuals dont exist? Im giving you the benefit of teh doubt here even tought your a holistic, yoga doin, yankee :P0 -

Aaaaaaand this is where you go off the rails.
Orthorexia is an obsessive disorder. It describes an inordinate preoccupation with controlling your diet. Having rules about what you eat or deciding to never eat a certain food doesn't even come close to being obsessive. That is just making decisions. That's all that is.
Obsessive disorders are when people take normal behaviors to extremes. There are people with OCD who spend 8 hours a day cleaning a 1000sqft living space. That is a disorder. Do you think that because I mop I have a mild form of OCD? Hardly. If I mop twice as often as you, you would probably want to diagnose me as such. But you'd be completely wrong. I don't have a mental problem. I just make different decisions from you.
Orthorexia, like anorexia, like any mental health problem, is the purview of mental health professionals (read: NOT YOU).0 -
