But there is no proof that this intervention is the cause? What if it’s from a previous unsupervised attempt started the 27month countdown! I do appreciate what’s being said, but supervised wt loss is better than unsupervised & if ED picked up, pt will be triaged for treatment!
That's fair, but I'd argue that the evidence for harms is not clear-cut and the study protocol seems robust to control for the remaining risk. I've never worked directly with the SCHN HREC but from what I hear they are extremely conservative so I imagine the controls are tight

I disagree. There’s a reason why it’s mostly ED professionals objecting to this - we see the long term fall out of trying to fix ‘the weight’. I think we can do better for these kids.

Yes and seriously we need to take heed!! Listen to the experience of people who have dieted as kids and developed EDs. They're not lying!!
