Depression and feeling guilty about eating habits
Â
Not only weight loss, but eating disorders or deviations that are experienced during adolescent development are also characterized by several things, such as:
Â
often refuses to eat
The choice not to eat is usually made out of fear of eating too much. In fact, teenagers may avoid eating out with family or loved ones just to hide this unusual eating behavior. That way, they will be more flexible to eat small portions or regurgitate their food after eating it.
Â
Too picky about food
When your teen is used to eating very small amounts and being picky about food types, make sure they always weigh food before eating. Disorders or deviations in eating in adolescents tend to make them pay too much attention to the number of calories consumed, for fear of having a fat body. When in fact their body weight is classified as very low (like anorexia nervosa).
