I would say no. If the reason you won't eat a food is because you're afraid it will make you fat or something else ED related, you are still experiencing disordered thinking. You can reach and maintain a healthy weight but as eating disorders are mental disorders, it's important to address the thought processes otherwise you will never be truly free x

If you have issues around food and have foods you "fear" suggest you need to talk to someone about this. If the foods you fear are those with sugar, fat, carbs then your weight will decline/not increase. Suggest you talk to someone about the fear - either an ED service or you can ring the ABC helpline and talk to them - but do seek help to address your thinking.
