As much as I never thought I would ever have to say that about myself, here I am at that deep into ketosis stage where the pounds are flying off and I have NO desire to eat whatsoever!!! I am eating one meal a day or 1 meal with a bite or two of something in between. I just can't eat any more. I am making sure that I eat a salad in with my protein every day but I just can't believe how satisfied I am with so little food. Weirdness! I am determined to be at Onederland by December 1st. I figure if I can do that, I will just breeze right through Xmas (dreamer eh?). Anyway just wanted to share and see if anyone else is going through the lack of appetite thang!

Re: No Appetite
I've been there. When ketosis kicks in, it's a beautiful thing, but you also have to be uper careful to not undereat. I know there are days I have to force more than 600 calories per day down and I'm just not hungry. This is a mixed blessing. Ways to counteract this would be to try eating a little less fat with the veggies, so that the blood sugar can actually help you feel some of that hunger. Also, try not drinking with meals. Just a couple thoughts. It's good to see you back. -
Re: No Appetite
It doesn't have to be a lot, but you do need to eat.

Re: No Appetite
I cannot wait to be in the stage where I am not constantly hungry! Like the others said just be careful, you don't want to cause yourself problems, or stall yourself out without eating enough. When I was doing it before I had to force myself sometimes, but I always made sure I at least ate two good meals and snacks in between.Restarted 04/09/2007

I get that every few weeks for a week or so. What I do is put little things in little baggies and every hour or two I grab it and eat it while doing something else, so I don't have to think about eating. Might be an oz of nuts, or a piece of string cheese, or 1/2 of a devilled egg. Just SOMETHING that I can eat fast and not have to think about.........Started Atkins 2d time 6/20/05

Re: No Appetite
I find that too. Eating in the morning is almost impossible for me. I can usually eat about 3 hours after I get up but not before. Sometimes I skip breakfast but I know it's not a good idea.
I find I am most hungry at lunch time so I have my main meal then and a small dinner or soup or salad.
Good luck on reaching onederland x224/200/165
