Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

It's hard when you're just not hungry, isn't it? But it's a blessing, too. *l*

I find that sometimes I have to force myself to eat. If you try to eat 6 smaller meals a day, it's easier to get the food in. Also making sure you are eating all your veggies during the day totally helps, too. They help to make you slightly more hungry.

You might also try drinking less with meals, as liquids end up filling you up rather than the food.

Also, I think megs also says that exercise makes her feel hungrier.

PS. How are you doing? I've been thinking of you everyday since the earthquake. Did you hear from all of your family? Are you still volunteering?

Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

hi cleo..thanks for the help i am eating smaller meals but i cant even finish my one small meal i just ate one cup cauliflower stirfried chicken,and 1/4th cabbage head.
and thats all my day has ended here i was going to hit the bed in a while.

it is so weird really that i was over weight beacuse i was eating too muchand i am on a diet which allows me to eat and i am just not hungry

Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

I'm really sorry I can't help you Sadie...I have never had a problem with eating too little...wish I did though.

Exercise should make you hungry.

I've been thinking about you too Sadie.

Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

Sadie..this is something I struggle with too..being full. The only suggestion I have for you is to move up the ladder to broaden your food choices and also...find some calorie dense recipes to help you get the calories up with the minimum amount of food.
If the throwing up continues I would talk to your doctor as that can do some serious harm to your body. Just my opinions...

{{{{{Sadie}}}}}}

I don't know what to say, other than that has already been said by Cleo, Wanna, and Elsie.

It would SEEM to be a good thing (except for the throwing up), but you're right, that is scary. Exercise hard if you can and see if that improves your appetite a bit. I find, like the others, when I cut out those nasty carbs/sugars, it cuts my appetite.

I hope things get better soon. Keep us posted. I hope your family is recovering okay after the earthquake. I continue to pray for you and your family.

Hugs,
Punkin-kid

I agree with Elsie, Sadie.
You do not have a massive amount to lose so would benefit from introducing more carbs along with the higher GI foods of the higher OWL rungs.

Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

Sadie...I agree with you...you should talk to your doctor. Please do and let us know how that goes.

Also...what is up with the egg whites??? Two boiled Egg whites...where is the fat? At the very least leave the yolk in there. And please take your vitamins.

Hope you had a good day!!

Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

Sadie, you've been given really good advice here.
Remember that you don't need to eat quantity, if you feel you can't handle it, but take care to focus on quality instead. If you can only eat four or five bites of something, make those bites count. Combining a fat with a protein (some meat and cheese) is great because it will pack a nutritional punch and sustain you, even if it's just a little bit.
For instance, an egg has the perfect balance of fat/protein/carb, so eat the whole egg, not just the whites.

Soup might be a good choice for you as well. There's a good broccoli/cheese soup thread going on in the induction forum you might want to check out.

If you feel you need to see a doctor, by all means, please do so. In the meantime, make good choices in your foods, drink your water, and take care of yourself.

Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

sadie-- is part of the problem still stress due to the earthquake? {{{Sadie}}} I agree with everyone else. You haven't been feeling well for awhile. Why, I remember when I did Atkins once and I was absolutely sick...I found out I was pregnant! You never know.

Re: help!!!!!i have no appetite whatso ever

Sadie, Don't worry about not feeling hungry, I'm sure its all a good sign. Congrats on the good work during your boot Camp.

Were you volunteering with the Earthquake in Pakistan? Where were you, which city?

My husbands good friend from high school and university perished along with his oldest son, in Islamabad. He was working as an engineer for the United Nations. He left behind his wife and younger child. I was crying for his wife, because it would be so devastating to not only lose a child or a husband but to lose them both at the same time. They were living in that 10 storey flat that collapsed. And its sad because they are Iraqi nationals, and I believe that luckily enough his wife has gone to live with her family in Amman, Jordan for now. They still didn't find Firas' or his son's body yet, I believe there was a huge crater in the ground just from that building..... so sad. My husband was really upset about it, he's been phoning friends and phoning their relatives.
What can you do, when its you turn to go guess its up to God in the end.
