Limited access to treatment for EDs, patients' high barriers to help-seeking, and the high rates of limited efficacy from psychotherapy speak of a need to explore new therapies and avenues for delivery. In this study, we build on findings from a controlled ED treatment trial and replicate the beneficial effects and find a high patient acceptance of "physical exercise and diet therapy" implemented in a real, non-clinical setting.
