There is no intrinsic reason that it should affect the disorder, but the anorectic effects could be an issue. Whether or not it is a good idea would depend on the current state of your eating disorder and perhaps other factors. You should discuss that with your physician and your pharmacist.
How are eating disorders are like addictions?
It varies per eating disorder, and per individual. But those who suffer from eating disorder literally are addicted to food and their body image. Though it may not be like a drug or alcohol or cigarette addiction, people with eating disorders are "addicted" to the idea that they must go to extreme dieting measures to look a certain way. They may be addicted to bingeing and purging (vomiting or laxative abuse, bulimia), starvation / fasting (anorexia), exercise, yo-yo dieting, caffeine, or many other things as a result of their eating disorder.
How to Choose the Right Eating Disorder Treatment?
An eating disorder is a serious mental health problem that often needs to be addressed by an experienced counselor or treatment before a person can learn to cope with their affliction. Although eating disorders often start with very mild symptoms, they can rapidly progress into an illness that can lead to permanent injury and even death. While there are many treatment options available to people who are suffering from eating disorders, the most common types of eating disorder treatments include therapy and inpatient or outpatient facilities. Here is some basic information on each of these treatments so that you will have an idea of what you are getting into when you or a loved one is ready to address an eating disorder. Therapy is the most common types of eating disorder treatments and can often lead to a full recovery for patients who are willing to work towards addressing the root of their issues related to food. There are a number of different types of therapies available to eating disorder patients, but the most popular and successful therapies are one-on-one counseling sessions in which a patient speaks with a psychologist or counselor to discuss how their eating disorder came about. Therapists will also work with patients to try different types of solutions to their eating disorders, as what works great for one patient will often be unsuccessful with many others. In many cases, a person needs considerably more advanced care in order to address their eating disorder. Individuals who are suffering from advanced eating disorders or have medical conditions that may become complicated if they do not get the eating disorder treated immediately can usually benefit substantially by checking into an inpatient or outpatient eating disorder facility. These facilities offer patients a variety of different types of eating disorder treatments in a very controlled setting that gives patients a chance to devote themselves entirely toward facing their problems with food and taking steps toward recovery. However, staying in an inpatient or outpatient facility is only one part of recovering from an eating disorder, and most patients will need to continue working with a therapist in order to fully recover from an eating disorder.

What is a good eating plan for someone suffering frim anorexia nervosa?
Someone who is suffering from Anorexia Nervosa really should be under medical supervision. Depending on how bad the eating disorder is, the BMI of the individual and the length of the self-starvation, starting to eat 'normal' could very well shock the body and actually be very harmful. It might be a good idea (aside from a general doctor) for the individual suffering from the eating disorder to see a nutritionist/dietitian. Many of them specialize in eating disorder meal plans, and because of that, they know how to slowly increase food intake without overwhelming the individual too much. (It is a scary thing and shouldn't be discounted.) Hope this helps. :)
Why do people encourage eating disorder behaviour?
No one directly encourages anorexia nervosa or bulimia, however, when people frequently say: "you can't be too rich or too thin", when the media publicizes those people who have lost a great deal of weight. when very thin figure models are considered the ideal weight to be, then people might get the idea that being extremely thin is the way to be and this might lead to an eating disorder.
