    It is key to eat in the morning to get your metabolism going. I used to have to force myself to eat in the morning - wait an hour or two if you have to - but EAT breakfast. When it is stalled - you won't feel like eating. I held onto lots of weight by doing this. Good luck!

    Eating is the only thing that will make you want to eat more. You've gotta jump start your metabolism in the morning or you won't get hungry. I had to train myself and basically force the food into my mouth every morning, but it worked.

    For me when I have days I don't really want to eat, but my brain knows I should, I try to sit down with a small plate of food and nibble. Usually that gets my appetite going and I'll eat a real meal. Another idea might be to cook, try a new recipe you found and be mentally engaged in cooking while your senses are smelling the delicious food. I taste as I cook and when I'm done cooking, I'm either ready to eat what I made or I've snacked along the process. The important thing for me is to have healthy food within easy reach and to start eating so my body might change its mind and want to eat.

    I am very curious to see what responses are for this because I have the same problem. I am never hungry(I guess it was debauchery that got me this overweight), and even with planning my meals, cannot seem to take in enough calories. I am mostly in the deficit as I can eat salads and grilled chicken 24/7/345(eat other stuff the rest of the year). I hardly eat breakfast, sometimes skip lunch due to work(I work in a doctor office), and get full eating salads, grilled chicken, leafy veggies(cabbage and collard greens) for dinner. Please help me also.

    Now REALLY, let's be honest...If you were not truly eating, why would you need to lose weight. Somewhere you are packing on the pounds. Success starts with being honest and accountable TO YOU FIRST. Just get a Plan and stick to it. Depending on your size, Start with at least 1200 calories per day for 6 weeks and Eat that NO MATTER What and a Moderate Exercise Routine!NOTHING EXTREME in Eating or Exercise. Don't do "Cheat Days" or any of that crap, that will "Fool" you. Just stick to the Plan and after 6 weeks see what happens.

    Chronic lack of appetite can be a signal of severely decreased metabolism. A couple of threads that may help:

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/175241-a-personal-view-on-exercise-cals-and-underfeeding

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/231636-the-eating-when-you-re-not-hungry-dilemma

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/186814-some-mfp-basics

    http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/230930-starvation-mode-how-it-works

    As for how to increase cals:

    Planning is key. Focus on balanced macros (protein/fat/carbs) in each meal/snack. Start with making sure to eat at least 3 meals a day. Breakfast is important when you're trying to overcome a habit of irregular eating or underfeeding. Once you've adjusted to that, add in snacks. Then, gradually increase the amount of cals in each meal/snack. Just 50 cals more for each meal/snack adds up. If you know you'll be working out, increase cals throughout the day.

    If you're not feeling hungry, a good way to increase cals without much volume is healthy fats from natural oils (olive/canola), nuts and nut butters (almonds, pistachios, walnuts), and avocados. Also, I would stay away from "low cal" or "low fat" options. Partly because you want to increase cals, and partly because those foods are usually processed and not nutrient dense, and the cals or fat they take out is replaced by sugar (real or substitute) and sodium - not a good trade off. A fruit smoothie, protein shake or chocolate milk are good cal boosters, because drinking cals can be easier than eating when you aren't feeling hungry.

    Typically, it may be hard for a few days or a week, but your body will adjust to the increased intake and you'll find it isn't an issue for long. Eating more will truly help your metabolism, and your appetite will increase with it.

    Actually your diet reminds me very much of Atkins. When you are eating so low carb, your body goes into ketosis and your hunger does disappear. It's one of the perks of the diet (if you are always hungry). But also is something to fight. I know it sounds weird, but healthy carbs might be good to add some balance.

    How much water are you drinking? If you're drinking alot it could be keeping you from feeling hungry. I don't agree with forcing full meals and such onto yourself bc that can encourage bad eating habits. You should try to eat some kind of light snacks and see if that triggers your appetite. If you go hungry for a long time, eventually your body will stop sending the signals for you to eat. Snacking on the fruit is good but try to find snacks that have other things your body needs like carbs and such.

    Have you lost any weight since you lost your appetite? If you've gone awhile with out feeling hungry and haven't lost weight, go see your doctor. You could have some imbalance that may need medical treatment. If your appetite doesn't come back after you try snacking more, still go see your doctor just to make sure everything is ok.
