One Woman's Triumph Over Orthorexia
When Christie went off to college she started to keep track of her food intake to avoid gaining the classic "freshman 15." But what began as a healthy ambition soon turned into the dangerous condition known as orthorexia - as she became obsessed with eating only the healthiest of foods. She eliminated meat, carbs, fats and processed foods, saw her weight dip to 68 pounds and completely isolated herself from her friends as she spent all of her time worrying about food. Click on the video to see Christie tell her story and learn how the now-26-year-old conquered the condition to return to a healthy and happy life.
