Restrictive eating can be rough, but at least it forces the ingenuity out of us. This sub is for laughing/commiserating about the experience of eating things that're low calorie, and uhhhhh... "creative."
Clarification: This is a space for users with restrictive eating disorders rather than a dieting space, hence are careful selection of rules and why since the sub's founding there's been access to eating disorder resources below the rules.
