not much of an appetite

caminoslo

I dont have much of an appetite lately. I dont even enjoy eating because it takes to much time to eat homemade of good quality food. I have to force myself to eat because I am afraid of going into starvation mode.
Anyone else how do you deal with this?

Well I am at maintenance and don't want to lose any more weight so I just find some high calorie low volume food and just make myself eat. Ice cream is good for these moments. So is peanut butter and nuts. Lots of calories for a small amount of food and some protein and fat to keep you healthy.

Are your goals still to lose weight? If so then for a short term your not going to go into starvation mode as that's kind of a myth...

However, make sure your getting adequate protein as your intake is low as well as healthy fats...

Consider supplements if your really against it but my best advice would be to hit the problem at the source.

Why are you no longer enjoying eating? Time? Money? etc. Turn eating back into something you enjoy doing, try cooking from scratch something new etc. It should be something you enjoy.
