This is our last call for participants. We have the last couple of spaces available for one of our focus groups THIS MONDAY (20th May) at 10am or 4pm. If you are interested email: [email protected] #EatingDisorderResearch #MentalHealthProfessionals

We are aware that calories on menus has been in the news today talking of apparent benefits - but our research reveals a darker truth. For individuals with Eating Disorders, calorie labels worsen distress, perpetuating harmful behaviors.

[Kel O'Neill @Kel_MHB]

More discussions today on calorie labeling, it's crucial to consider the lived experience of #EatingDisorders. Our research shows this practice IS harmful. Read the full study for a deeper understanding: https://t.co/p8akerESwD @thismorning @Reemul_B @beatED @BeatED_Wales pls RT

[The Mental Elf @Mental_Elf]

"These data reveal that the introduction of calorie labelling on menus may exacerbate isolation and loneliness for those with eating disorders."
