About the Book

Eating disorders know no boundaries. They don't discriminate. Every story of living with an eating disorder is unique. Eating Disorders Don't Discriminate brings together thirty-one of them, each tackling the stereotypes and misconceptions about what eating disorders look like and who they impact. Athletes, activists, directors, models, health professionals, and more share their experiences of eating disorders, including binge eating disorder, bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, ARFID and OSFED, and highlight the complexities of how race, gender, culture and social media can influence our experiences of body and food. Compiled by Dr Chuks Nwuba, who has cared for some of the UK's most unwell eating disorder patients, and TikToker and eating disorder advocate Bailey Spinn, this stirring anthology is one of hope and encouragement for anyone who feels misunderstood and underrepresented. With writing from: Rachael Alder-Byrne - Molly Bartrip - Sophie Baverstock - Hana Brannigan - Cynthia Bulik - Dianne Buswell - Lee Chambers - Dave Chawner - Sam Clark-Stone - Megan Jayne Crabbe - James Downs - Shannon Dymond - Emme - Becky Excell - Lindsey Holland - Bobby Kasmire - Sam Layton - Amalie Lee - Raffela Mancuso - Ro Mitchell - Bayadir Mohamed-Osman - Smriti Mundhra - George Mycock - Marilyn Okoro - Nigel Owens - Jasmine C.

Review :
Eating Disorders Don't Discriminate has and will continue to start conversations. This inspired book dismantles stereotypes and stigma, validates the vast range of experiences in eating disorders, and provides sound evidence to spur necessary improvements in training, representation, and awareness... For people who have been or are currently affected by an eating disorder, this is a book that will make you feel seen. This book will change lives. Eating Disorders Don't Discriminate is a glorious book that not only serves to show the wide ranging impact of eating disorders, but also brings these experiences to life through giving a voice to people who may not have seen themselves represented in eating disorder dialogue until now. An important, refreshing and essential read. Eating Disorders Don't Discriminate is an essential book that doesn't just focus on the medical or scientific aspects of disordered eating, but rather plants its roots in the humanness of it all. A humanness that is most often missed in conversations like these -- and is desperately needed to be felt by anyone who has battled an eating disorder or helped a loved one on their own journey. The work of Dr Chuks and Bailey is so incredibly important for highlighting how eating disorders can affect any gender, race, age or ethnic background and addresses the myths and misconceptions when it comes to eating disorders and their presentation. Are we aware of the myriad presentations of eating disorders or do we, like many, tend to see them predominantly as the problem faced by thin, white, cisgender girls? This book tells the stories of a range of people who do not fit the stereotype and, because of this, either did not realise they had a disorder or were unable to friend help until they were firmly in its group... A good book for anyone interested in learning more about eating disorders.
