Abstract
Following typical primary anorexia nervosa some subjects enter a state characterized by disordered eating behaviour and emotional instability whilst remaining at or above a normal weight. Other subjects may reach a similar position without having been in a state of anorexia nervosa. Surprisingly the state seems to lack a satisfactory name. The term 'Dietary chaos syndrome' is proposed.
