Nutrition Counseling in the Treatment of Eating Disorders
Marcia Herrin and Maria Larkin have collaborated on the second edition of Nutrition Counseling in the Treatment of Eating Disorders, infusing research-based approaches and their own clinically-refined tools for managing food and weight-related issues. New to this edition is a section on nutrition counseling interventions derived from cognitive behavioral therapy-enhanced, dialectical behavioral therapy, family-based treatment, and motivational interviewing techniques. Readers will appreciate the state of the art nutrition and weight assessment guidelines, the practical clinical techniques for managing bingeing, purging, excessive exercise, and weight restoration as well as the unique food planning approach developed by the authors. As a comprehensive overview of food and weight-related treatments, this book is an indispensible resource for nutrition counselors, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, physicians, and primary care providers.

Alternative Viewpoint on National Institutes of Health Clinical Guidelines
The use of the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Clinical Guidelines to guide assessment and treatment of overweight and obese patients is the source of considerable debate. The guidelines rely, in part, on research with methodological problems. The standard treatments for obesity outlined in the
Guidelines have not proven to be successful long term. Evidence suggests obesity may be a result of biochemical defects, not eating and exercise patterns. Dieting, one of the recommended treatments, is a known risk factor for development of an eating disorder. Further, there is no conclusive evidence that weight loss improves health outcomes. Nutrition education professionals need to develop approaches that improve health independently of weight loss for Americans seeking to lose weight.

Clinical Features of Eating Disorders
Eating disorders (EDs) are biologically-based mental disorders classified and defined in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV; American Psychiatric Association, 2000). This chapter relies on the DSM-IV and the soon to be published next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5). We conclude this chapter with a discussion of the most significant of the proposed DSM-5 criteria for EDs.

The Process of Counseling
Nutrition counselors who treat patients with eating disorders (EDs) benefit from understanding the dynamics of counseling this complex population. As an overview, we have included the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics position statement's outline of the clinical responsibilities of nutrition counselors who treat patients with EDs (see Box 3.1; Ozier & Henry, 2011). The rest of this chapter 60delves deeply into the counseling process, highlighting the ethics of counseling and the management of psychotherapeutic issues that often arise during the nutrition counseling process. We offer guidelines about co-morbid illnesses that frequently affect patients with EDs and how these illnesses impact nutrition counseling. Finally, we include a section on body-image disturbance, as this feature is a diagnostic criterion of EDs and is intertwined with the food, weight, and shape issues that are in the scope of practice for the nutrition counselor.

Book Chapter
Course of Treatment
In Chapter 1: Clinical Features of Eating Disorders, we provide the reader with a diagnostic and medical perspective of the patient with an eating disorder (ED). In this chapter, we offer a broader perspective of the patient from our seat in the nutrition counselor's chair. We outline the structure of an initial nutrition counseling session from the beginning, through the middle, and the end. This chapter includes advice on appointment frequency, scheduling follow-up sessions, and making referrals. Finally, we discuss when and how to end nutrition counseling sessions.
Book Chapter
Assessing Weight
In this chapter we outline how to estimate a patient's biologically appropriate weight (BAW), how to talk about weight issues, how to use body mass index (BMI) categories, and how to appropriately monitor weights throughout treatment. This information provides a framework for the following chapters on restoring weight, managing weight and managing bingeing, purging, and exercise behaviors. Although all team members address weight issues, usually it is the nutrition counselor's responsibility to assess and monitor weights and to educate patients about the biological facts that influence body weight. Weight monitoring is a helpful gauge of the adequacy of a particular food plan and it can reassure patients who worry that improving eating patterns will cause undesired changes in weight.
Book Chapter
Restoring Weight
We begin this chapter by defining weight restoration and by describing the well-documented metabolic and physical challenges to weight restoration. Next, we discuss the four phases of the weight restoration protocol we have developed over the course of years of clinical practice. We also include a detailed section on the art and science of setting weight goals. The chapter concludes with a discussion of weight restoring food planning based on the rule of threes food plan [(RO3s) detailed in Chapter 5: Food Planning] and other approaches that support weight restoration.
Book Chapter
Treating Binge Eating
Binge eating is defined as eating unusually large amounts of food while experiencing a lack of control over eating. Loss of control is assessed by asking, \"Did you have a sense of loss of control at the time?\" \"Could you have stopped eating once you had started?\" \"Could you have prevented the episode from occurring?\" (Wolfe, Baker, Smith, and Kelly-Weeder, 2009). Patients who binge eat may have a diagnosis of anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), or binge-eating disorder (BED). Some are overweight or obese and some not. Entrenched AN, especially if the body mass index (BMI) is less than 17.5, almost always includes bouts of binge eating (Lowe et al., 2011). It is important to note that binge eating is found in over 60% of AN patients and is known to delay or inhibit full recovery in AN (Tenconi, Lunardi, Zanetti, Santonastaso, & Favaro, 2006).
