I don't like eating
-
I don't really enjoy eating anything. The act of it and the way I feel after in specific. Often times it makes me feel nauseous, no matter what it is that i'm eating. I prefer drinking. Eating ice cream is fine by me as well, but there's not a single good brand of ice cream sold where I live. I drink a lot of orange juice, milk, coffee and broth to get my intake up, but often times it's not enough with the way i'm eating, which is little. I already add sugar and honey to everything i've mentioned before except broth. Sometimes i'll make a "milkshake" which contains one or two eggs, a few small pieces of beef liver, milk, honey or sugar and some kind of frozen fruit/berries or cacao powder. A way to increase calorie intake while still keeping actual food to a minimum would be great, but i'd be willing to try out anything that would make eating more appealing too.

“RP: …But our nervous systems are intimately connected to our cells, and we get our motives essentially by listening to our cells, the unconditioned reflexes. It's a message, sort of a voting of the intelligent population of cells that we listen to and then execute with things like appetite.
GD: Do you think appetite can be equated with desire for life, more or less? Basically, the better your appetite, the more you want to live, more or less?
RP: Yeah, because you're in touch with and listening to your life process all the way down to molecules.”

@skylark Yes, I knew of this quote even before I wrote my post... I am very aware that my lack of appetite is not a good thing. I am even aware that it's likely due to hypothyroidism and b1 or retinol deificiency. I am trying to implement both of these to my diet, but it's really hard to when I feel full for the rest of the day after a 400 calorie breakfast. Making myself eat when I don't want to makes me seriously nauseous. I'd like some advice for this
-
@nygerai do you find your appetite improves and your nausea subsides later in the day?
-
@skylark If by later in the day you mean in the evening in specific, then no. Usually after my first meal of the day, whatever that might be, i don't feel hungry until the next morning. And that's if I let myself not eat anything after that meal. If I happen to eat in the evening, I won't feel hungry until maybe noon the next day. If I force myself to eat something, I feel overly full and nauseous, and just the thought of eating before I even begin makes me feel sick.

Could you be low in zinc?
This oyster soup/stew would provide zinc. You can adapt the ingredients to your taste.
-
@nygerai Did you ever try just eating the foods you like the taste of?

@nygerai Have you measured your waking/midday pulse and temperature? Have you investigated a possible bacterial overgrowth in the gut? You could investigate thyroid but check cholesterol before supplementing. Do you enjoy your daily life?
-
@dan-saintdominic lol yes
-
@skylark Yes, my pulse is usually pretty low - 70 bpm. On average, my temperature is 36.7, definitely not ideal either... I used to have a way more prevalent SIBO problem, but it's getting better now. Supplementing with thyroid is not an option for me, at least for a while. As for whether I enjoy daily life or not, that is a very difficult question to answer... To try and sum it up as much as possible, I'd say I enjoy about 8-14 days out of a month.
-
@Peatly Thank you for the suggestion. I'll try to get more zinc in. Unfortunately, oysters and other shellfish are practically impossible to find where I live... I'll stick to cooked mushrooms
-
A nice healthy way to increase calories is evaporated milk (the unsweetened one).
Also look into the appetite-stimulating potential of cyproheptadine, although it isn't a longterm solution.
-
Something I should mention is one time I found a chunk of mold floating in the evaporated milk. Watch out for that.
-
cyproheptadine
stop drinking coffee/no caffeine for a while
lift or go on a long walkcyprohetadine+no coffee will make you ravenous

An update on this: After supplementing thyroid for a little over a month now, this issue has been resolved!
-
@nygerai what kind of thyroid? Ndt? T3? Cynoplus?
-
@nygerai its prolly some goofy parasite thats fucking you up
They literally have the ability to alter ur nervous system so consider a deworming protocol
ivermectin is a direct fix, if you dont have access to it consider dry fasting (2-4x more effective than normal fasting so if you do a ramadhan ahh fast of 16hrs then its gonna be the same as a 32-64hr water fast that wont be as damaging to your metabolic health as a 3 day water fast
Anti parasite foods include: figs (make sure that YOU sun dry them so that u wont catch any mold), caffeine (alotta coffee beans contain mold, raw carrots, white button mushrooms and pumpkin seeds (pufas + anti nutrients alert
️️)If that wont work then its prolly some sort of inflammation in ur intestinal lining that can be fixed by proper nutrient delivery by either natural desicated thyroid or to just directly attack the inflammation (oral BPC-157 (peptide) + make sure that the capsule isnt made out of garbage since it could lead to the pills doing more harm than good

Awesome! Wonderful that you ignored all the morons with their parasite gimmicks. I had much the same situation!
