13:00 Alex: Hi Randy

13:04: Alex Liang has left this chat

13:04 Alex: Hi Randy

13:04: Alex Liang has just entered this chat

13:09: Randy Lawrence has just entered this chat

13:09 Alex: Hi Randy

13:10 Randy: Hi, Alex. Sorry for the delay. Coursespaces is so slow and won't load at times.

13:10 Randy: Let me just get your Consultation info out

13:10 Alex: No worries, thanks for meeting me.

13:11 Alex: Of course, thanks

13:12 Randy: So, your research question(s) is this:

13:12 Randy: eating disorders influence the mental and physical Development of students ? What are their long term consequences?

13:13 Alex: yes

13:14 Alex: so there are various types of eating disorder

13:14 Randy: There are a number of different eating disorders, each cause different physical issues and problems.

13:14 Randy: How would be able to discuss them all?

13:15 Randy: How would you, that is, be able to discuss them all?

13:16 Alex: sometimes they may have similar influences

13:16 Alex: do you think that I should focus on just one instead of the general eating disorder?

13:17 Randy: You could do, say two or three in detail. Maybe the most common.

13:18 Randy: You have both under-eating and over-eating disorders

13:18 Alex: I think even though eating disorder influences individuals differently, I think there should be some general problems as well

13:19 Alex: the eating disorder in general affects individuals weight for example

13:19 Randy: How would you frame your argument?

13:21 Randy: Are there any people or groups who argue that there are no long term health problems?

13:22 Alex: hmm, I think you are right. the argument I have right now is too broad, I should narrow it down to one or two types of eating disorder.

13:23 Alex: I don't think so, there are long term consequences.

13:23 Alex: I haven't got I chance to look if there is anyone who states that there aren't long term consequences

13:24 Randy: Also, are the long term health problems in dispute? If everyone agrees that that there are long-term health problem, due to the amount of research that has been done on eating disorders, who would you persuade with the arguement?

13:24 Alex: I think most of them agrees that it has long term problem

13:25 Randy: I agree. So we need to find an area in this topic that has a bit of controversy.

13:25 Alex: oh I see

13:26 Randy: I assume that you believe that long-term healthy problems occur due to eating disorders, yes?

13:26 Alex: in my annotation, there is one type of eating disorder, I think is controversy.

13:26 Alex: yes

13:26 Randy: Great! What is it?

13:27 Alex: it's orthorexia nervosa, so basically it's an obsession with eating healthy foods

13:27 Randy: Interesting!

13:27 Randy: I haven't even heard of that one.

13:27 Randy: What is the controversy?

13:27 Alex: not only healthy foods but healthy diets as well

13:29 Alex: everyone nowadays thinks that we should eat more healthily, however, there could be an obsession with healthy foods and that may potentially lead to another eating disorder

13:29 Randy: So it is an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating.

13:29 Alex: exactly

13:29 Randy: Yes, that sounds like it would have controversy.

13:30 Randy: I think it is a great topic.

13:30 Randy: So now we need to formulate a thesis. Any ideas?

13:31 Randy: What would you want to prove?

13:32 Alex: by the way, the orthorexia and anorexia nervosa are often related when people discuss the topic, should I include that as well?

13:34 Alex: restrictive anorexia is basically that they have a high restriction about what they eat everything, and lead to a extremely low body weight
