This is true and up to date. I went for treatment for bulimia and they were lovely, but refused to treat me whilst I was dieting. I was on CD at the time and felt in control of food.
They told me that it is more to do with their belief that if you are prone to ED's then dieting will potentially make it worse and you need to stop dieting completely, like KD said.
So I was told to choose between CD and losing weight or ED treatment. I chose CD because I was at a point where I didn't care if I was alive or dead if I stayed that weight. No amount of treatment would have made me feel as good about myself as CD.
I have been trying to develop a healthy mindset towards food whilst on CD, but think the real work will come afterwards as I work up the plans and onto maintenance.
So for me CD was a great thing and has helped me around food, not made it worse

Umm. I did a lot of research into BED, and I think the majority of professionals will say that you cannot begin to 'recover' until you stop dieting altogether.
