It’s time to talk about it
The taboo of
disordered eating
in athletes
It can often be difficult to understand
disordered eating in athletes ACROSS THE
general population due to the nature of
some athletes’ sports and our views of
an ideal body
An athletes’ body is often athletic, lean
and muscular so few would suspect one
to struggle with an eating disorder
Often we are aware athletes follow a
strict diet and training programme but to
US that is ‘normal’ if an athlete wants to
succeed
and what may be deemed as ‘unhealthy’ or
‘abnormal’ is ignored when it comes to
athletes
