Title: What to eat when nothing appeals
Post by: fireflysea on September 18, 2014, 01:12:15 pm
Any ideas?
I think of meat or seafood and I'm like meh
Fruit I can always eat but it makes me feel terrible so I'm like meh
Vegetables...meh. Cucumbers (I know technically a fruit) maybe, maybe some baby green or cultured vegetables. Maybe some seaweed.
Fats...meh. I guess avocado or coconut would be ok. But meh

No foods make my body feel well right now. No foods stand out as appealing right now. I could fast, but at the same time I kind of want food (maybe only because I'm addicted to the stimulation right now?) idk what to eat! Nothing seems to leave me feeling well. I've been sick a lot too (virus, fungal infection, lethargy, depression, etc) which isn't cool :/  thoughts?

Fasting, diluted juice fasting, intermittent fasting are all fine.

I'm not sure from your post if you mean to say that you are not hungry, or that food tastes aren't appealing to you, or that you have lost your appetite because of illness.

If you are not hungry, there is no reason to eat. A lot of people are prompted to eat because the clock says it's time for a meal, but that isn't necessary. If you are eating unprocessed foods, hunger and satiety are good indicators of when and how much to eat.

If you don't feel interested in the taste of unprocessed foods (such as the ones you mentioned) and have been eating this way for a while, eat when hungry just for the sake of satiety. I'm sure that our paleo ancestors often ate out of hunger - for example, they ate a bunch of gophers when they'd much rather have a bison. Commercial food promotion has us thinking that everything we eat has to be an out-of-this-world taste experience. Does it?

If you are sick and don't feel like eating, give it a rest.

What else do you do each day? Are you really enjoying your life?

a little bit of "high meat"? ala Aajounus Vonderplanitz...maybe one month old...always cheers me up. beef and not so old that it turns liquid, just smelly and a little rotten. my 2 cents
