Not Feeling Hungry

[jakki14 36]

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.

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....

Agree. Try to get your 60 gms of Protein and stay hydrated. Enjoy the ride.
