Just more research on how disordered eating harms females. Since I know several female climbers who seriously limit their calorie intake, I wanted to post this article.

They can just take hormone replacement to offset the depletion of estrogen that leads to bone loss.

Sometimes I wish I had an eating disorder.
But then chocolate cake comes along and blows my whole pipe dream.

You could eat the cake in a disorderly conduct and call it an eating disorder. Try using no hands next time.

I am half bulimic. I binge but don't purge. cookies, booze, licorice, gummies, sushi, ice cream

Do some research on the "Female athlete syndrome" and if your a female get advice from a qualified sports nutritionist, NOT from the climbers on this board.

I haven't read the article yet but if it's credible Spragwa is doing you all a huge favor.
