Shifting individuals with anorexia from catabolic exercise to resistance training and nourishing food intake can help build a strong body and bones.

“but rather getting them shifted toward breaking habits of only approaching low calorie, low fat foods, while also encouraging them to embark on resistance training and to start to learn and reward the relationship between exercise for sake of making one's body strong, including the bones, not just the muscles, but the bones, which is important, especially in anorexics. And then to see food as a way to nourish that process, to building a body that could be of the stable weight.”
