The Mandometer Clinics were founded by Cecilia Bergh and Per S\u00f6dersten. The treatment is based on research on eating behaviour and satiety carried out at the Karolinska Institute.<\/p>\n[\/mk_title_box][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”30″]We eat in much the same way every day, but if we diet and change our eating behaviour, biological changes occur within the body and these can be difficult to reverse without assistance. However, it’s not the fault of the individual who is struggling to maintain their weight; human biology is adapted to survive starvation, and one can recover from starvation without permanent problems.<\/p>\n

Patients experience anxiety, depression and obsessive thoughts because they are starving and eating irregularly.\u00a0 These problems decrease and eventually disappear when the patient regains control of eating and body weight normalises.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1465476455088{padding-left: 0px !important;}”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/mando.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/PerSodersten_Novum_.png” image_size=”full” lightbox=”true” group=”_general” desc=”Per S\u00f6dersten” caption_location=”outside-image” align=”center” margin_bottom=”0″ crop=”false”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7\/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1413546004080{padding-right: 40px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Per S\u00f6dersten is a professor at the Karolinska Institute and he directs the research at the Mandometer Clinics. He takes an interest in how we eat, rather than what we eat. The way in which we eat exerts a strong influence on physiology and emotion and abnormal dietary habits and the associated changes in eating behavior have profound influences on brain function. S\u00f6dersten\u2019s team also study what happens physiologically and psychologically when eating patterns change.\u00a0 As restrictive eating can cause psychological problems, one can reverse these problems by learning to eat normally.\u00a0 S\u00f6dersten\u2019s research led the development of the technical medical device, the Mandometer\u00ae, which is fundamental to our treatment, and used for treating all types of eating disorders, including obesity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″ el_class=”MandoRightColumn”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/mando.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Brain_illustr_noshaddow.png” image_size=”full” lightbox=”true” group=”_general” align=”center” el_class=”MandoFloatToRight” crop=”false”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1435586079566{padding-right: 10px !important;}”][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”15″][mk_custom_box padding_vertical=”0″ padding_horizental=”0″ margin_bottom=”0″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”5\/12″ css=”.vc_custom_1465476481769{padding-left: 0px !important;}”][mk_image src=”https:\/\/mando.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Mandometer5_mask_mat.png” image_size=”full” group=”_general” link=”\/en\/mandometer-method\/the-mandometer-device\/” align=”center” crop=”false”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”7\/12″][mk_icon_box icon=”no” title=”Learning to eat with Mandometer” text_size=”24″ font_weight=”300″ read_more_txt=”The Mandometer Device” read_more_url=”\/en\/mandometer-method\/the-mandometer-device\/” icon_color=”#a1ce8e” icon_circle_color=”#a1ce8e” margin=”0″ el_class=”MandoIconBox”][\/mk_icon_box][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/mk_custom_box][mk_divider style=”thin_solid” margin_top=”0″ margin_bottom=”15″][vc_accordions style=”simple-style” open_toggle=”-1″ container_bg_color=”#ffffff” responsive=”false”][vc_accordion_tab title=”Why do more women than men develop anorexia nervosa?”][mk_fancy_title color=”#bf0019″ size=”16″ font_weight=”normal” margin_top=”25″ font_family=”none”]Why do more women than men develop anorexia nervosa?[\/mk_fancy_title][vc_column_text]Women are more likely to develop anorexia nervosa than men because women respond differently to dieting. Almost all women have dieted at some point in their life. Studies have shown that when women reduce the amount of food they eat; they respond by eating less food the following day (white bar is lower than the left bar). In contrast, men eat more than women if they do not diet (compare the black bars) and they eat even more food the next day after skipping dinner the night before (compare the white bars). Men compensate for short term starvation by eating more, but women do not. This biological difference between men and women combined with the strong social pressure on young women means that it is more common for girls\/women to suffer from eating disorders.[\/vc_column_text][mk_image src=”https:\/\/mando.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/Kvinnor1.png” image_width=”300″ desc=”Figure 1.

However, people who have anorexia nervosa or other eating disorders eat at a constant rate; they eat linearly.\u00a0 Decelerate eaters are able to maintain control over their food intake, however, linear eaters find it difficult to maintain control when they have limited time to eat or when there is plenty of food available to eat. The result is a loss of control of food intake and body weight.[\/vc_column_text][mk_image src=”https:\/\/mando.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/decelerated_Linear_eatingpattern_separerade1.png” image_width=”500″ desc=”Figure 2.
