Not Feeling Hungry

I havnt' been feeling very hungry lately. Is it best to eat anyway to get the calories in, or not eat if your hungry? I've heard both sides?

That's a really tough question. I'm sure you're going to get a lot of varying answers.

As for myself, I was told by my doctor to only eat when physically hungry. However, if I don't get enough nutrients and calories, not only do I get dizzy and sick feeling but my weight loss will also come to a screeching halt. So if I realize I've gone all day without eating I drink a Protein shake that's high in both Vitamins and protein. This way I don't get that sick feeling and my body is still getting what it needs.

Stay hydrated. That's very important. And like Mis said you still need to be aware of protein/nutrients/vitamins. But IMO it is ok to eat less (or fewer times) than your doctor recommends.

Eat when your hungry and drink a lot.

It's a good feeling, isn't it??? I have to remind myself to eat....I never get hungry 24/7.....

I have gone full 24hr days without eating, if I am very busy at work, traveling, etc....usually it is my Wife who insists it is time to eat....

So when I do eat, I make sure I make the best of it...Good, wise food choices....not worrying about the calories....

Protein and Water....protein and water....
