Anyone else lose their appetite in the summer?

I have this problem as well.

I'm weight training, and am trying to eat small, healthful meals every 3 hours to keep my metabolism up. But it's really difficult in the warm weather, I'm just not hungry!

Lighter meats, veggies, and fruits seem to be alright. I love drinking a lot of water and tea, though!

Good luck, hopefully you find your summer stomach soon

Im totally taking advantage of my change/loss of appetite during the summer. I lost the first 4lbs w/out really paying attention. My appetite is reduced and I tend to crave fruits and vegetables anyway.

I find that when the warmer weather sets in, I just dont have an appetite. In the past week I have been very busy, but it has also been running in the mid 80's, and I find myself only eating once or twice a day. Im just not hungry. I know this is very bad for me, but how do I force myself to eat???

"Im just not hungry. I know this is very bad for me ..."

Actually, I disagree. Our bodies change and react to our environment and knows us better than we know ourselves. In the summer when it's warm you need less food. In the winter your body calls for more food to keep warm. I think eating when you are NOT HUNGRY is worse. Think of your body as a fuel tank on a car .... you can only put into it what you need to get where you're going. If it isn't calling for food (hunger signals) then you're doing enough, If you start moving around more (driving) you're going to need more fuel in the form of fuel.

However, "the experts" want us to believe that watching the clock and not listening to and honoring our bodies is what is best for us. You've got the first part down by paying attention to your body and knowing you aren't hungry .... so eat when you are hungry, stop when you're satisfied. That's the ultimate respect for your body .... and It's how I've lost weight.

I just find myself wanting more fruit in the summer. I can blow through watermelon like nobody's business.
