So long we knew about anorexia and orthorexia, but the new type of eating disorder that has become really popular is Liarexia. These people eat a lot when in company, but reduce their intake when they are eating alone. They just want to show it to the world that they eat a healthy proportion, but when they are at home they stick to soups and salads and sometimes even starve themselves.

 

Gwyneth Paltrow has been doing this for ages. In public she says that she is fond of fried food. It actually does not make sense having a bowl of chips with your friends and then starving all night.

 

Young girls in the city are doing the same. They want a stick thin figure and at the same time they don’t want to disclose it to everybody. These are the people who want to show it to their friends that they are naturally thin so they order huge portion of high calorie food in front of others and drastically reduce their intake when they are at home.

 

Recently I was sitting with a friend of mine who is in her thirties at a café. She went on ordering chicken sandwiches with extra cheese and mayonnaise and cold coffee with double scoop of ice cream and chocolate sauce for herself. This friend of mine has a figure to die for, but she is desperate to prove it to the world that she eats a lot, but the obvious question that arises is then where does the food go? But sometimes women also do it because they don’t want the others sitting with them to feel guilty about what they are eating. Nutritious food is very important. So, to remain healthy stick to a well balanced diet.
