Surely it's far more likely that the causation goes the other way? Or is there a hypothesis that trying vegetarianism promoted overthinking / overcaring about diet?
I suspect this isn't very specifically an eating disorder, but that it's an obsessive compulsive or zealotry disorder where food just happens to be a target.
- Cthulhu_ 7y agoSounds like something that requires further research, however, I do see how vegetarians / vegans (or anyone following a specific diet for that matter) become a lot more mindful of what they eat, or what they "are allowed to" eat.
