BOF Posted January 10, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 10, 2012 I'd force yourself to eat breakfast each day and see if your appetite improve. Absolutely crucial. Breakfast isn't just something you eat for the sake of it. Breakfast kickstarts your digestive system in the morning. If you don't have a breakfast then it never gets going until your first meal e.g. at lunch. It improves your appetite (by burning what's in your system, ready for more...) and keeps/gets you healthy in many other ways. I used to never have a breakfast. Now I always do, even if it's just a breakfast bar. Something to get the system up and running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this stuff and nonsense about breakfast is just put about by cereal makers and those doctors in their pay. I eat first at midday, no dietary reason, that's just what I feel like doing, and have done all my life, despite parents fretting about me not having breakfast. But I do eat breakfast when staying in hotels, oddly. Perhaps it's the idea that I'm paying for it and so I must eat it. I also eat breakfast when hungover, or when we have house guests. Now that would ideally be dry cured bacon, black pudding from either the Western Isles or Northumbria, grilled tomatoes, eggs gently fried in sunflower oil, mushrooms quickly fried in what's left from the eggs plus butter plus olive oil, home-made soda bread or brown bread, and of course HP sauce. And fresh ground coffee. Sausages are a moot point. Never (hardly ever) eat them myself, and would only serve them to someone if I'd seen them made or it was a wholly reputable brand. And probably a local one as well. The filth you see in the supermarkets, no thanks. Of course if I eat breakfast in a hotel it will be the basest example of battery-farmed eggs, cruelly-kept and ignorantly-slaughtered pig, GM veg, and crappy bread. Mostly. Just like most hotels and restaurants, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshVilla Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Dont want to scare you or anything but if you constantly starve yourself and not eat enough your body will start to slowly digest your digestive tract especially your bowel over a period of time in the end you may end up having to crap into a cholostomy bag it happened to someone i know he had a risky op though to reverse the damage he's back to normal now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I only eat 1 meal a day, that has been the case for 10-15 years. + I walk maybe 3 miles a day. (Basically I am scared to death of getting overweight with a beer belly and the like) If I am left on my own for a few days I need to actually be reminded to eat, I have totally forgotten to eat on many days and only remembered when going to sleep. Problem is it's way down my list of priorities and I don't really enjoy eating. Odd ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 How are you feeling psychologically? Loss of appetite is often linked with depression. This. I lost a stone of Xmas by doing this. I just wasn't hungry at all and I ate very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to get my head around becaused I love food and find it hard to control at times. Food to me is a social thing. Lack of understanding on my part I suppose.

MY wife is really good at cooking as well and she tries her very best but the things I actually enjoy eating are 3 or 4 main things at most. Maybe i am a bit anorexic or something also, if I eat a big meal then that's me done for 20 + hours. I do have a few snacks at night though (Ice cream / chocolate / crisps) but this is not loads and loads. (Hard to find chocolate here anyway. Cadbury's is like gold dust). Or it could be that the "I am a bit hungry chip in my brain is damaged". The increase IQ x 4 chip that i had fitted has some side effects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted January 11, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted January 11, 2012 As someone who loves eating, I couldn't normally imagine missing one meal, let alone going a whole day without. Except for the fact that - some years ago - I went through a difficult period emotionally and psychologically (not going into it here, but suffice to say it was woman-related). And I lost my appetite for several months. I ate less and less, lost a load of weight (not in itself a bad thing, at least initially). I remember the lowest day very well - I was getting worried about my lack of appetite, and realised I had to eat something. At lunchtime, I bought a small sausage roll from a bakers. Got halfway through it and chucked the rest away. Bad times. But things changed, I eventually got my appetite back, and now I'm back to my rather flabby waistline - I HAVE to keep up the running to counter all the grub I get through! In fact, I feel quite peckish now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogso Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I only eat breakfast on weekends, and when I do I won't eat lunch - and on weekdays I never skip lunch or dinner. Hate being hungry. I think my metobilism is pretty good though, I have very regulary eating routine and don't put weight on. Until I hit my late teens I was pretty thin, but fleshed out and am now pretty average I guess. The though of not eating anything all day is pretty horrific, frankly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 purely on the basis that the kind folk of VT have told me to I decided to force some grub down me neck for dinner and force it down I had to, after about 4 bites I was felling full already, that aint normal any ways that should keep me going for a while mashed potato roast potato stuffing carrots roast pork gravy crackling lovely it was but I feel literally bloated to **** now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
