In the groundbreaking new book, Lying in Weight, science journalist Trisha Gura, Ph.D., explodes the myth that those who suffer from eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, are primarily teenage girls. In reality, these diseases linger from adolescence or emerge anew in the lives of adult women in ways that we are only starting to recognize.

On the subject of eating disorders, Dr. Gura is not only an expert; she’s a survivor, having successfully managed her own anorexia as a teen and an adult. Drawing on her own experience, Gura offers the most up-to-date research and extensive interviews with clinicians and sufferers. Lying in Weight is a startling, timely and imperative investigation of what happens when girls with eating disorders grow up.

She takes time to share both her research and her experiences with The-F-Word. Read an interview with Trisha Gura here.
