Restrictive diets can impact your social life, nutrition and relationship with food, said therapist Jennifer Rollin of The Eating Disorder Center in Rockville, Maryland.
There are good rules of thumb. If you find that you base your choices on hopes of losing weight or if your diet excludes whole food groups, you are likely on a restrictive diet, said Natalie Mokari, a dietitian based in Charlotte, North Carolina. “It starts to be kind of overconsuming for somebody in their day-to-day lives, and it inhibits their enjoyment,” she said. “It can create lots of obsessive behaviors. … Food is not meant to be thought about in that way.”Another good gauge is your flexibility around the style of eating you are following, Rollin said.
With her clients, Mokari likes to use the 80/20 rule — 80 per cent of the time they focus on eating all the foods needed for a particular diet or health concern, and 20 per cent of the time there is more leniency, she said. The drive to eat foods that aren’t always available is evolutionary, Rollin said. Human bodies are primed for times of famine to consume as much as possible when we encounter our next food source, she said.If you want to make decisions around food with health in mind but want to cut out the restriction, Rollin and Mokari recommend working with health professionals to tease out exactly what doing so means.
