2. Orthorexia - An extreme fixation on healthy eating, which can lead to the elimination of many food groups and negative health effects.

3. Bigorexia - A mental disorder associated with an obsession over body building, often manifested in a relentless pursuit of increased muscle mass through extreme diets and intensive workouts.

4. Hyperphagia - Excessive eating, often a result of emotional eating, leading to health issues such as obesity.

The book also analyzes the various factors that can lead to the development of these disorders, including psychological, social, and cultural factors.
