Abstract: Introduction: Eating disorders are a severe mental illness that causes physical and psychosocial problems. This illness has a higher prevalence among young women, and between athletes. CBT is the current treatment for this type of disorder. However, more and more programs are including physical exercise and nutritional therapy for eating disorders treatment. Objective: To conduct a bibliographic and structured review that allows to know the current state of intervention programs through physical exercise and nutritional therapy for the treatment of eating disorders. Methodology: For the reference search, the following search phrase was used: ('eating disorder' AND 'treatment' AND ('exercise intervention' OR 'fitness program' OR 'physical activity') AND 'dietary therapy'). The terms were entered in English in the following computerized databases: SCOPUS, WOS, and PubMed. To limit the search, four inclusion criteria were introduced. Results: The review included eight scientific articles related to the study topic, which met the inclusion criteria. Conclusion: Intervention programs for the treatment of eating disorders that include physical exercise and nutritional therapy are shown as an alternative to conventional therapy. These programs involve a reduction in the severity of ED symptoms and an improvement in anthropometric parameters and physical condition. In addition, they are perceived as helpful by the participants, as they are an effective tool for improving the severity of eating disorders symptoms and the general well-being.
