- It requires you to have many supplements – pills & powders for fat, fibre, protein etc.
- Meal times become a time of stress and agony. You are no longer allowed to enjoy a meal
- You are routinely injured, there’s a change in your period pattern and bleeding
- You spend nights warding off the cravings and spend time awake trying to sleep
