I would say do your best for today and wait until tomorrow and see how you feel. I have felt that way but it didn't last. Now, I find I can eat my meals but I rarely feel the need to snack. Sometimes, I forget to eat (today..forgot to eat lunch). But most days I just make my meals and by the time they are ready, I find that I am ready to eat.

Good luck.

A few weeks ago when I first became immobile I had no appetite either but had some already cooked chicken and veggies in the fridge. I got my hubby to put them in the food processor and wizz them into a puree then add cream and chicken stock to make a soup.
I found I could drink my meals even though thinking of chewing anything was impossible.

So perhaps some pureed cooked veg and meat and see if you can manage that?

Re: Can i get a little help please.(little to no appetite)

actually you do not want to eat meals when you are not hungry doing atkins!

your appetite suppression is actually the thing all atkinseers love abot doing atkins. it should not return until you are eating closer to your actual Critical carb level for losing.

That said you need to listen to your body and if you are not hungry then don't eat unless you ahve been 6 hrs since your last waking meal. at that point you must eat a small snack of some of your vegies with a legal fat and protein. Your body will tell you later or even the next day I'm hungry so listen for those voices. it could be things like feeling weak, tired, light headed dizzy, agitated, confused or cloudy thinking or any other symptom your body gives you to say I'm hungry feed me. listen and learn and you will be an atkins goalie.

congrats on stopping your closet buinge eating. while not a closet binger I too could eat a whole pizza and carrot cake befoe i started atkins.

Oh I know right it's crazy how I've even "forgotten" to eat since doing Atkins. Believe me, I have NEVER forgotten a meal. LOL Be sure to eat at least every 6 hours to maintain your health and enjoy the weight loss.
