not hungry??

kris628

I have been going through alot the past couple of weeks and have not been really hungry. I am losing the weight, but worried that I am not losing it in a healthy way. I have also noticed that as the days go on I eat less and less. I am drinking plenty of fluids just don't have any desire for food. What should I do ?

read this i had to up my calories to get my weight moving


Generally someone with a BMI over 32 can do a 1000 calorie a day (2 lbs a week) deficit
With a BMI of 30 to 32 a deficit of 750 calories is generally correct (about 1.5 lbs a week)
With a BMI of 28 to 30 a deficit of 500 calories is about right (about 1 lb a week)
With a BMI of 26 to 28 a deficit of about 300 calories is perfect (about 1/2 lb a week)
and below 26... well this is where we get fuzzy. See now you're no longer talking about being overweight, so while it's still ok to have a small deficit, you really should shift your focus more towards muscle tone, and reducing fat. This means is EXTRA important to eat your exercise calories as your body needs to KNOW it's ok to burn fat stores, and the only way it will know is if you keep giving it the calories it needs to not enter the famine response (starvation mode)

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through a lot, but it is very important that you eat for your health.
