Eating Disorder Treatment | Binge Eating | Compulsive Eating
Eating Disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme and unhealthy reduction of food intake or severe overeating, as well as feelings of distress or extreme concern about body shape or weight. (National Institute of Health)
“The freedom to “not diet” is incredible.”
Some Questions to Ask if you Feel Yourself or a Loved One May Have an Eating Disorder:
1. Do you make yourself sick because you feel uncomfortably full?
2. Do you worry you have lost control over how much you eat?
3. Have you recently lost more than 15 pounds in a three-month period?
4. Do you believe yourself to be fat when others say you are too thin?
5. Would you say that food dominates your life?
If you answered “YES” to one or more of these five questions, you may be struggling with an eating disorder. For further evaluation, take our free and confidential online assessment. This is only an assessment, not a diagnostic tool, and should not be substituted for professional help

Patient Testimonials
“I have had a troubled relationship with food since I was fifteen, and I have met with every therapist under the sun. I always just imagined that this would be my life forever, and that an eating disorder was just a part of who I was. My husband recently became concerned about my eating habits after a fainting spell, and he asked me to see a nutritionist. I was incredibly skeptical, and completely expected to receive a copy of the food pyramid and a lecture, and be done. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Preferred Nutrition is changing my life. I no longer count calories, work out with a heart rate monitor, and I eat real food for breakfast (not protein bars or shakes). I’m happier than I ever could have believed was possible. If you struggle with food, please give Preferred Nutrition a chance – even if it’s just one meeting. I promise that you won’t regret it.”
