This is not a condition I’ve heard of before. But I do think much more awareness needs to be raised about it.
The number of people becoming dangerously obsessed with healthy eating is growing, according to health experts.
Sufferers of the eating disorder, known as Orthorexia Nervosa, focus on maintaining a restricted diet rather than achieving a certain weight.
Whilst suffering from Orthorexia, Carrie Armstrong was eating only organic fruit and her weight dropped to six stone.
She told BBC Radio 5 live’s Breakfast: “You think you’re going to die. You think you’re going to contaminate your body and it really rules your entire life.”
