How to MAKE yourself hungry?

[teawrecks]

SO! I recently posted a question asking for running tips because I was going to start running. And I have, today was my second day. It went alright.

Obviously nutrition is a big part of fitness, but I have a problem where I just... don't get hungry. I maybe just BARELY cleared 300 calories by the end of the day yesterday.

Today, I've only had half a glass of milk. Haven't been hungry for food. Already went on my run.

I know I NEED to eat, but I don't have any... desire to. I don't feel hungry.

Force yourself to eat not huge meals mind you but at least your three basic meals a day sometimes you just have to eat anyway not necessarily because you want to but because your body requires that nutrients and nutrition otherwise your body is going to take to cannibalizing other parts of your body so to speak or take away from other functions of the body to get what it needs.

I would also advise taking multivitamins either liquid or solid until you can get your appetite up that way if you don't eat very much during the day at least you'll be getting some vitamins and nutrients which is a lot better then none at all. Breakfast drinks are also a good way to get vitamins for your body they taste good and they give you part of your daily requirements and like the name says you drink em.

As for getting your appetite up, watch cooking shows also don't get to beat up about not feeling hungry you did only just start what was it a day or two ago, give it time as your increase your workout regime and get into a routine your body will start to crave food because the body will be deprived of it due to working out.

well, what usually gets me going is when I see other people eating on my favorite show on Netflix, and im like damn I want a piece of that, and then I get the munchies.

Did you start running to get healthy, or just a hobby? Food is like energy for your body, so if you're running and not eating, I'm not sure if that's really a good combo? I used to have the same problem of not being hungry. Just try forcing yourself to eat healthy foods little by little. Eventually you will increase your food intake. Another thing that can help is drinking protein shakes. They have a lot of calories, but always mix with milk instead of water so you get more calories in. Wish you luck!

Definitely to get healthy.

Thanks love! Did it work?

[teawrecks]

I ended up just putting food in my mouth and making myself eat it, which helped a little. Was still difficult to eat because it didn't quite make me hungry... but I got some nutrition at least lol

Ahhaa I do that all the time xD

We have a saying in French that literally translates to : appetite comes when eating 😂. And it works pretty well for me. I'm a very stressed out person, and at lunch I have to force myself for the first few bites, because I don't feel hungry because of stress. But as I continue eating, I realize I was actually hungry, and I feel much better afterwards. :)
And I've heard that the less you eat, the less you'll feel hungry too... which from personal experience I've come to learn is true. And eat things that you love! Eating has to be a pleasure ;)

From experience I think the less you eat the less you're hungry specially if you don't have breakfast the morning! Maybe start your day with a good breakfast and it will make you more hungry during the day.^^

Coconut water/pomegranate juice drink it in early morning before going to pee, it'll create appetite or soup clear one
