Loss of appetite

[Katie1309]

So a wee issue I'm struggling to eat properly at the mo - love and crave my brekkie (oats and egg) but for the rest or the day I just force myself - sometimes I'm hungry but I don't wanna eat as it turns my stomach - other times not hungry at all and have to force of down. Lucky if some days I'm getting 1100 cals in (approx) so not leaning out as I reckon starvation mode must be kicking in big time. Trying to eat 4 times a day is a struggle!! Any ideas???

Early stages of Pregnancy?

or maybe there is some kind of stomach bacteria or shortages in some kind of minerals in the body. could be something to speak with the doc about if it's been happening for a while.

Megestrol Acetate

I'm sure there is a good simple answer but on the other hand maybe your breakfast is doing too-good of a job of causing satiety.

Maybe dumping a can of fruit salad on the oats would help you feel hungry sooner; see Dietary fructose reduces circulating insulin and leptin, attenuates postprandial suppression of ghrelin, and increases triglycerides in women.

"

Because insulin and leptin, and possibly ghrelin, function as key signals to the central nervous system in the long-term regulation of energy balance, decreases of circulating insulin and leptin and increased ghrelin concentrations, as demonstrated in this study, could lead to increased caloric intake and ultimately contribute to weight gain and obesity during chronic consumption of diets high in fructose.

"

I have found that the days I start with oats+fruit salad followed by a shake tend to be big eat days whereas if I just have a shake I can find it very difficult to reach my targets.
