Lost taste of food

[ryana]

nothing taste good anymore. but i'm hungry well i think i am. I don't get that "true hunger" that everyone talks about I just get irratable and light headed. I ate a salad that tasted ok because I knew I needed to eat. anyone else go through this????? some of my fav foods like tomatoes and mangos don't even sound good.

Go to the market and let your body pick out what it wants, if it doesn't want anything you may be needing a fast or something.

I would be scared to fast becasue I am recovering from an extreem loss of energy. I have never been able to fast. I get well crazy if I don't have fat. Mabye I should do some research on fasting. thanks

Or maybe do a juice fast...that's kind of in-between. I like gatorgrrl's advice though, about going to the market and letting your body decide.

I just came off of two weeks with the nasty flu going around, so I know what you're saying in that nothing tastes good. Quite a few days it was juice and water even if I didn't feel like the juice. Absolutely nothing--not even my favorites were appealing. I think it was my body telling me it was busy healing and I simply gave it the water, juice and plenty of rest. I guess, just listen to what your body is telling you would be my best advice.

Understand your concern about fasting. Although I have read a lot of personal experinces, I too remain hesitant. MC is a future goal for me.

Please keep us posted.

I have done a 4 month fast before. With me if I could just get through the first 2 days I was good to go. Listen to your body. If its not right for you, don't do it.
