should you eat if your not hungry? I get busy sometimes and grab something late in the morning and dont get hungry until dinner. My medicine may be to blame but should you force yourself?

    I am no expert but I would say you should eat something every 2 to 4 hours or you will mess up your metabolism. Especially if you are trying to fix it. My nutrinionalist and Dr. both say the longest I should go without eating during the day is 4 hours.
