Eating Disorders and Obesity Treatment
Eating disorders and disordered eating can occur at any body size and are common among people seeking obesity treatment. While treatments may improve appetite control and eating patterns, they do not cause eating disorders. Screening, ongoing support, and open communication with healthcare professionals are essential to ensure safe, effective care and address any concerns early.
Understanding Mood and Tension During Obesity Treatment
Mood is your general emotional state over time. It is not a quick feeling like surprise or anger. Tension is how ‘wound up’ or stressed your body and mind feel as part of your mood.
Mood and Tension Whilst on a Very Low Energy Diet (VLED)
A Very Low Energy Diet (VLED) involves major changes to the way you eat, so it can affect both your body and your emotions. Some people notice changes in mood or stress levels, particularly in the early stages.
