I can't gain weight/skinny

jessicapereirab

I downloaded this app because I'm losing weight quickly and people already mentioning the change.
I have a fast metabolism and have always been able to eat whatever I want but in the past 2 years it has been really difficult for me to keep a healthy weight.
I been having the problem that I lose my appetite and once I'm eating something I get naseous as what I'm eating become tasteless.
Because of this I leave food in the plate and don't get the enough calories I should be getting.
Want to know if someone goes through the same problem
Let me know

1. Have you seen a doctor for blood work?
2. Have you seen a therapist for issues with food?

That's not a fast metabolism that's an issue eating food. I would check with a doctor

Thats such BS. EVERYONE can gain weight REAL easy. Its also relatively easy to lose the weight. Trouble is maintaining it.
To gain weight is very simple. Eat more of calorie dense foods. Magic. Weight comes on.

Having a mental (!) issue with food is not BS. Otherwise, none of gaining/maintaining/losing would be difficult. If I am mentally unable to eat as much up to feeling nauseated by the thought it is a serious problem. Maintaining is calorie wise not harder as anything else, you just have to find your balance. Same with gaining and losing. Maintaining is often mentally hard for people who got used to losing (or gaining) like it is hard to lose if you are used to overeating and hard to gain if your brain does not want you to eat.

Try ensure plus or boost high calorie drink. I m also tiny weighing in at a mighty 101 today. I gain 5 pounds off apetamin. I started at 96 pounds. I know people on the blog say don't use it and it will not help. I tried it and it really does work. It may be right for you since you don't have an appetite. The whole function of apetamin is to give you appetite.

A lot of skinny people have a mental block when it comes to eating after they feel "full". I know, I was super skinny most of my life and only ate when I was hungry and would immediately stop as soon as I felt full. What I had to learn was that in order to gain weight you need to force yourself to eat past that point. It's not pleasant and it's not fun but it's not supposed to be. I had to learn to set up a "schedule" and even if I didn't feel like stuffing my face I forced myself. It's NOT easy but if you are serious about gaining then you will find a way to do it.

It's not magic and is often boiled down into "EAT MOAR".... even if you don't feel like it. Everybody pushes calorie dense foods because you can eat less of them and still get the numbers you need to gain. If you absolutely cannot take another bite of that sammich - then find a way to drink those calories.

What is BS is this uneducated knee jerk response. There are a whole range of possible health issues that could cause OP's problem ranging from a hyper thyroid to a bad gallbladder.

The best response was the first one of getting blood work done and going from there.

See a doctor. Loss of taste and sensation of nausea when eating isn't normal or healthy...


And it's New to you.

As much as I hate internet diagnosis - this is a strong signal that you need a medical checkup.

Loss of appetite, nausea while eating, loss of taste. Call your primary care physician sooner than later please.

This is your problem. Just this. If food weren't unappetizing to you, then at least you would be enjoying your food and probably finishing off the plate.

Could you have an allergy to something common? Are you experiencing menopause? A lot of stress? (I lose my appetite when I'm stressed.) It sounds like before this problem you were a healthy skinny.

I am naturally slender/fast metabolism. I love eating and cooking. Just one of those lucky people who doesn't tend to crave junk food. And I generally refuse to eat until the point of discomfort, or to the point that I have to waddle away from the restaurant. Though even that, I do about once every couple weeks. When I have a desk job and a car, I am a "healthy" weight. When I have a job that keeps me on my feet and use public transportation and walking, people start telling me I look too skinny. Have you been getting more exercise, even if just slow-paced walking?

OP, please see a doctor asap.
