How do I get my appetite back?

I remember your questions and I know you're still going through hell. You really need to take a natural tranquilliser, something called Valerian Root Extract. You feel like throwing up because you are literally "sick to the stomach" about the abrupt end of the relationship, even if it was by choice. \n\nWhat you are feeling is natural. It's called anxiety, and you are obviously experiencing anxiety attacks (which is where the nausea and throwing up come from. I know you feel like throwing up, and as a woman, I know you probably have - dozens of times.) It's wierd, isn't it? -As if there is a small, tiny solace in punishing the body as well, and you desperately need ANY kind of solace. \n\nRight now you have to study because passing is something that is going to give you a sense of fulfilment, and it WILL help to ease the emotional pain a teeny bit. \n\nOnce you are on the natural stuff ,(NOT ST.JOHN'S WORT _ there are too many side-effects for some people and you do not need those right now...), get yourself an ant-acid medication- like GAVISCON - pregnant women take it a lot. It lines the stomach to prevent gastric reflux, which ALWAYS happens when you are under this kind of stress, and makes you feel ill. It can also push up and cause all sorts of flu-like symtoms or asthma-like burning which are so unpleasant. \n\nI don't think you need anything strong, like propper tranquilliers, because you still need to work through this process of grieving, but you do need a little help right now to get you over the exams. Biral is a good make, and you will find that one little pill three times a day is all you need to just help you focus.\n\nI wish you all the best. This is a difficult time and exams are not what you need right now. Still, they are there, and you WILL push through! I know it!! You GO girl!

Well, maybe it's because the exam pressure.. I guess it's kinda normal, I lost my appetite if I'm in some kind of pressure. But my advice, try to eat a little, maybe a sandwich or something, or maybe something even lighter. And drink lot's of milk. It'll help to keep your strength. Hope this help and also hope you'll get your appetite soon!! God bless!! :)

I was like that this week, just build up by eating and you will be back to normal within a day or 2.  It worked for me.  It's probably because your stomach doesn't expand doesn't want food.  Just try eating :)

Well, try eating small quantities of food and if you tend to snack have a lot of fruits on hand, no bananas or avocados mind. Eat a lot of cucumber and lettuce. Mangoes or any fruit with lots of fibre will help. Dont eat after six o'clock but if you are hungry eat cucumber. Find an exercise routine that's good for you though if you can jog that will be perfect but if you cant, walk a lot and build up to jogging. Dont starve yourself. Buy a calorie book and measure calories. Avoid deserts.  And most of all FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOURSELF.

Eat regularly. Avoid skipping meals or starving yourself. Include planned,\nhealthy snacks into your eating plan. Sugar cravings get more intense\nwhen you’re over-hungry.\n• Eat more complex carbohydrates, especially high fiber, whole grain\nproducts. Minimize simple sugars and refined products. Cakes, cookies,\nsweets, white rice, white bread, and white pasta may cause an “insulin\nreaction” which makes you feel sluggish and crave more sugar.\n• Include a good source of protein and/or healthy fat with each meal.\nProtein and fat are digested more slowly and give satiety to meals.\n• Cut back on caffeine. Caffeine wreaks havok with blood sugar levels,\nincreasing the chance of overeating later.\nHave you got a sweet tooth that never seems to get its fill?  If so, take a look at your diet. Have you eaten foods that are high in simple, fast absorbing carbohydrates?  \n\nIf so, fast absorbing carbs equals an overload of glucose in the blood.  Insulin pushes out the glucose, thus creating low blood sugar in some individuals.  \n\nSolution:  Better management of blood sugar, smarter food choices and eating at regular intervals. And it wouldn't hurt to get your blood sugar evaluated by your doctor.

I HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. it really sucks...it seems like i try to do something else and it just doesn't work...then after you eat, you feel even worse. what works for me now though, is  i eat something healthy, like a bowl chicken noodle soup, or a salad with chicken in it.

Eat cooked egg whites. Any kind. After a few days they will get rid of your appetite and they are a good source of protein. Next start your exercise program. You might want to start walking at least 30 minutes a day and work your way up to more. Consider lifting weights. They will help burn calories and you will build muscle. Keep it up and before you know it you'll look and feel great. Good luck.

Eat lots of fresh fruits and starches -- stay away from salt (less than 500 mg total per day), and drink lots of water.  This combo will naturally make you feel full, will cleanse your body of toxins, and will give you a crapton of energy.  \n\nNot only will you not feel hungry, you can expect to lose up to 8 pounds a week.  It's the Rice Diet from Duke University -- and it's been around since 1939 -- because IT WORKS!\n\nBeware of artificial ways to suppress your appetite.  Many pills cause permanent heart damage, and deaths have resulted from some.  There are so many controversial products out there.  What works for one person may not for another, and they can be dangerous!  Please be careful -- and don't fall for any hype.\n\ngood luck!

I agree go and see a doctor because there may be some underlying health issue and read this article on loss of appetite:  \n\n http://heartdisease.about.com

I know this may sound silly, but increase your water consumption.  I am coming off a 70lb weight loss and found the key to be drinking water.  If I felt hungry I drank water and found that it satisfied my craving.  I also used protion control at meal times, but the primary catalyst I genuinely believe was water.\nMy numbers :\n02/01/06 - 273\n06/23/06 - 203\n\n... good luck

your body is busy fighting and is rejecting things that weaken it so you are not in a hungry mood. It will accept nourishment and you need to force some things to keep strong.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!!

The quickest way is to cut out red meats, starches, breads, sugars, alcohal, and sodas.\n\nEat veggies (salads are good), soups, and drink TONS of water. If you get hungry between a meal, drink water to fill up.\n\nIn moderation eat white meats, and fruits (fruits contain natural sugars, and that can put on weight)\n\nPractice portion control. Yes, you'll feel hungry at first, but think of your goal, and soon your stomach will start shrinking and you won't have that feeling anymore.\n\nEat 5 times a day. A small breakfast. A mid-morning snack, such as an apple. A small lunch. A mid-afternoon snack, such as carrots. A lite dinner. Do not eat any later than 7pm (6pm is better.)\n\nGo exercise for at least an hour a day, incorporating weight training. Weight training builds muscle. Muscle burns fat. You get the idea.\n\nGood luck!!

You need to set some rules for yourself.  Don't leave food out on the table, and don't look in the fridge between meals and snacks.  \n\nSet snack and meal times -- sometimes just knowing you only have to wait 30 more minutes will give you the will power to not eat now.\n\nTake a walk before you eat something.\n\nMake rules about no eating while on the computer. This is a no-brainer.  You can also make it a rule not to eat while watching TV.\n\nFigure out why you are craving.  It's not physical hunger -- you feel like you need to treat yourself.  Are there any other ways you can treat yourself without resorting to food?\n\nAlso, make sure that you do eat 5 veggies, 5 fruits, three proteins, three calciums and five grain/starch things every day.  And plenty of liquids.  Maybe you do have a nutrition problem, but snack foods won't solve it.\n\nAnd, don't beat yourself up about it.  Be kind to yourself -- just try to find a different way to do it than by eating.  Read a book, treat yourself to a movie, take a walk in a beautiful place, go visit (or call) a friend.\n\nGood luck!

The worse thing you can do is NOT EAT. When we don't eat or we aren't getting enough calories, you will not lose weight our bodies have a way of defending themselves. Whenever it feels like it is being starved it will start storing fat. \n\nThe best thing you can do is to eat your meals three times a day, don't eat a lot . Don't eat too little either. \nDrink plenty of water. get plenty of excercise. \n\nAvoid the fad diets and the diet pills. Often times they do not work and they sometimes even do more harm to our bodies than good. Avoid excessive intake of caffeine and sodium. Those are number one enemies to our bodies, they cause our body to absorb and retain water which can be a big contributor to our weight gain. \n\n\nYou will lose an average of 2 pounds a week, that is healthy for us, losing more than that can be hard on your heart. \n\nThe best thing you can do is to be patient and it takes will power. \n\nThe best snacks if you need one is peanut butter crackers. If you bring snacks to work with you don't bring a whole pack, put some in a baggy\n\nDon't buy things that are fatty because you know you are going to eat it, You are not doing yourself a favor. \n\nGood luck to you.

Diets don't work so don't look for one.  Exercise helps so at least walk briskly for 30 minutes or so at least four times a week.  Most important is to re train your body's habits.  When you feel hungry don't eat right away.  Wait until you are really hungry and then eat what you like but not as much as you think you want.  This takes practice and in not too long a time your body will change the habit of saying it is hungry so often.  Only eat when hungry and not because you think you are hungry.  Do eat the foods you like because if you don't then you will soon go back to eating too often and too much.  I do wish the best for you.
