155216 - I don't necessarily agree with your quote:

"If you have anorexia then you should probably get proper counseling, because no diet is going to fix a psychological issue. Psychology always comes before the physical."

According to Nutritional Balancing Science a toxicity in one or two minerals can cause you to have severe psychological issues (i.e. copper toxicity = anxiety).

Similarly, a deficiency in a mineral can cause a person to become or feel anorexic:

The mental illness can be the result of malabsorption or dietary restriction (i.e. vegans missing out on key nutrients).

I'm not saying that anorexia is absolutely not a psychological issue - I am just saying that there has been a lot of research that there could be a dietary component (zinc deficiency). And that a toxicity in certain minerals can make a person think irrational thoughts. Psychology doesn't ALWAYS come first.
