Additional Resources on Males with Eating Disorders

1.) Starving in Suburbia- I have mentioned this film many times due to it's captivating portrayal of anorexia and its affect on an entire family.  I was able to find the film on YouTube and I really recommend those interested to check it out.   
2.) Mirror Mirror: Eating Disorders- This website further explains the problem of men that suffer from eating disorders and the importance of breaking the stigma.  
3.) Let's Talk about Male Eating Disorders- This is an article from the CNN website that explains Brian Cuban's story about suffering from bulimia.  He also wrote a memoir titled "Shattered Image" which describes his struggle with bulimia.  
4.) Skinny Boy: A Young Man's Battle and Triumph Over Anorexia- This is a memoir by Gary A. Grahl and his battle with anorexia.  The link actually takes you to an amazon page, but I recommend reading this book in order to realize that men do suffer from anorexia.
5.) Clinical Features of Muscle Dysmorphia among Males with Body Dysmorphic Disorder- This article further explains the disorder muscle dysmorphia, also known as reverse anorexia.
