    anyone else lose their appetite?

    it seems that I have lost my appetite for much of anything...I did it the first time also...and when I do eat...I can eat very little (lol I am NOT complaining) I was just wondering if it happens to all of us?

    also I have noticed that when I do get hungry...I just do not feel like eating...

    It's one of the effects of ketosis... it suppresses your appetite. This can be a boon and .... well, not such a boon! If you tend to overeat then it's a boon... if you don't have such issues and start to eat below your BMR then you have to be careful. You don't want to go into starvation mode.

    If your appetite is lowered significantly, then at least make sure you eat a small snack every six hours. Something nutrient dense.

        Thanks ya'll...yes I overeat when I am eating carbs...it's like there is no little cut off switch in my brain when the carbs are flowin...but without the carbs...it's like oh ok, I'm not hungry anymore I can stop eating now...

        I really should eat some olives or something, because I do tend to go more than six hours without eating...

          Try to pick snacks or small meals with plenty of goodness in them for when you DO eat, to make sure you are not missing out on nutrients.
          Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
          Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

            Hey gentle rain, I have a huge problem with not being able to eat enough. I seem to never have an appetite. I found that eating more calorie dense foods helped me meet my BMR needs. Also snacking when you get a feeling to eat instead of waiting, that means being prepared. Take snacks with you and if you feel the urge, than have the snack. Drink your water, and make sure all of your fats are full fats, like cheeses and stuff. Sometimes waiting ends up making you even less hungry.

            after almost 5 months on Atkins and over 63 lbs down! Watch for updates!
