Does this sound like a good thing?

[Laura1995]

I've completely lost my appetite for a lot of things, mainly junk food. I gave my cookies, chips, ice cream, and donuts to my mom and sister.
I also lost my appetite for eggs, pizza, hot dogs, burgers, fries, and any type of fast food. Even Chinese food.

Now all I eat is salad, yogurt, fruits, veggies, and drink water.

I also lost my cravings for soda.

Presuming you eat enough, and includes protein rich vegetables, then you loosing appetite for junk food and replacing it with a good health food, is certainly not bad.

I am however a bit concerned for the reason behind it, it could be an emerging eating disorder.

No, that sounds really bad actually. It's a drastic change in diet so that means something is off. If it was gradual, say over months or years, that's good.

[Laura1995]

How come it's bad?

[Opinion Owner]

Drastic changes in diet tend to be unhealthy. While "eating healthy" is always great I don't know of any dietician who would suggest just dropping everything and changing it up particularly because if you're not phasing out the bad for the good all you're doing is giving your stomach hell and creating an influx of chemical reactions which don't optimize what you eat and digestive issues.

I know I need to ask my dietitian this, but what do you suggest I do?
I'm eating yogurt because I'm hungry but I don't really want it.

Considering the extreme nature I recommend being checked out for something more. It seems related less to your wants shifting and more towards your general appetite changing entirely. Eat what you can, of course, but set up an appointment quickly.

[Laura1995]

Yes I'm going to call my doctor today and make an appointment before it gets worse.
In the meantime, I'm going to try to eat very small amounts of food... My belly growls, but at the same time, I don't have an appetite. Weird.

There are many causes so I won't dare guess or speculate.

[Laura1995]

Yes, there are many causes. I was just reading up on some on the bus 20 min ago.

[Opinion Owner]

Well, good luck, eat what you can, and try to stay hydrated to compensate.

[Laura1995]

Thanks. I'm going to keep drinking water throughout the day.

[Souma95]

Wow, lucky you. I suck at eating healthy!! Keep it up girl!

[Laura1995]

Thanks!!

Yes, it's fine to be done with junk food and lose your craving for it. A lot of that "craving" actually has to do with the different chemical ingredients food companies add to processed foods to KEEP you coming back for more.

I suspect that you won't be done with burgers/fries forever, but you might only cook them at home now or save them for special occasions.

Eating healthy is addicting!

[martyfellow]

it sounds like you got disgusted with your past habits, which were not healthy.
Nothing wrong with that! You'll feel better and be stronger, especially if you're getting exercise.

[EdwardII]

I have up meat cause it because nasty and I'm fine you should be fine

[kangy]

Of course it is a very good thing. Keep it up!

[Laura1995]

Thank you!! :)

[kangy]

But remember you need to have good regular meals 3 x a day.

[Laura1995]

Yes, I'm working on that :)
