No appetite... Help!

viki_bright

Does anyone have any tips for getting your appetite up? I'm not eating much or even drinking much. I just don't have the appetite and it's hard to take in food or water when you aren't feeling like eating or drinking. Are there any foods that will kickstart an appetite?

Is this a new thing? Did it begin when you began counting calories (assuming you are)?

What are stats? Weight, calories, exercise?

No, there aren't any foods that "jump start" an appetite. The important question is, what is causing the loss of appetite? Heat? Stress? Illness? More details would be much more helpful in order to receive applicable responses.

I don't count calories. Usually a clean eater. Postnatal 5 weeks today. Drinking more, still not eating much. I am, however, on a medication for depression. I'm wondering if that has something to do with it. I have lost 20 pounds. We did go through the loss of our home recently and I've been dealing with a lot of stress emotionally. Never had the problem of not wanting to eat before though.

can we switch.. because WHILE I'm eating I'm literally thinking about what Im eating at my next meal. The only time in my life I've had no appetite is when i have Mono.
