Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The restrictive subtype of anorexia describes individuals who are rigidly and obsessively controlling about their diet and appearance, often limiting their food intake and engaging in excessive exercise to maintain a low body weight. The other subtypes, binge-eating/purging and bulimic, involve additional behaviors such as bingeing on large amounts of food and purging through vomiting or laxative use. While individuals with anorexia may also experience obsessive thoughts and behaviors related to food and body image, the restrictive subtype specifically highlights the restriction of food intake as a core feature.
