Diet in case of anorexia aims at restoring proper weight, repair the consequences of undernourishment, control abnormal eating style and prevent the return of the disease by supporting psychological treatment.
What does diet in anorexia consist in?
Diet for patients with anorexia should provide an increased amount of complex carbohydrates (vegetables, fruits, cereals), protein (lean meat, poultry, fish, dairy products) and good vegetable fat as well as omega-3 fatty acids (oily fish, sunflower seeds, nuts). It needs to be borne in mind not to make the portions too big, as a person with anorexia learns from scratch how to eat and excessively large portion could discourage the patient from proper eating. Therefore, it is best to eat 5-6 portions a day. Moderate activity is recommended, as walks on fresh air influence appetite and help to drive an exhausted, sick person’s organism to a good form.
