Reclaiming Restaurant Dining: A Safe Path for Orthorexia Recovery

For individuals navigating orthorexia, the thought of dining out can trigger intense anxiety. The lack of control over ingredients, ambiguous menu descriptions, and fear of "imperfect" foods often lead to social withdrawal or giving up restaurants entirely. But abandoning shared meals shouldn’t be the only option. At mm food, we're pioneering tools to help you reintegrate restaurant experiences with confidence, safety, and peace of mind.

Why Restaurants Feel Unsafe with Orthorexia

Orthorexia transforms eating into a high-stakes pursuit of "purity," where perceived dietary transgressions provoke deep distress. Menus become minefields:

• Ambiguous terms like "homemade" or "fresh" offer no real clarity
• Hidden additives, oils, or processing methods aren’t disclosed
• Cross-contamination risks loom in shared kitchens This uncertainty often forces isolation, straining relationships and depriving individuals of joyful social connection.
