The risks: nutritional deficiencies and not letting your body rest from exercise.The linked article explores a woman's journey in figuring out she has orthorexia and the steps she takes to better herself. Instead of trying to control your food intake, practice meditation and controling your mind. If you're struggling with similar issues, don't try to go it alone. Reach out for professional help.
