Inability to feel hunger

9 Replies

Does anyone else never feel hunger? I'm not talking lack of appetite. I mean I really do not feel hunger.

Ill? Temperature?

Spoken to doctor?

I have noticed a decreasing amount of hunger. I still feel hungry sometimes, but it's like after two bites I feel nothing and then eating gets harder. Has it affected your eating habits? I hope you are managing to get some nutrition.

Yes I’ve been like this lately. I forget to eat at times because I don’t feel hungry 😅

I guess because we’re less active these days so less calories burned. Our body doesn’t require calories intake? Therefore less hungry?

Could be, although I think it’s also a symptom of depression which takes away the pleasure you get from things you normally enjoy... like eating. The complicated human brain at work!

Depression has to do with appetite and hunger is your body biological mechanism? Please correct me if I am wrong 🤗🙏

Just speculating 😊

Thanks, everyone. I don't have a temperature. I have let my doctor know. I do keep eating--but it seems more and more whatever I eat passes right through me. It's not loose or watery-- just pretty much right after I eat I have a bm. I am still staying active-- walking at least 30 min a day on streets that are a bit hilly. But even after I take an extra long hike in a park, I feel no hunger. I It's really hard to know what is ok to eat. I really appreciate your input. If you have any more ideas, please send them along. I didn't mean to be gross or inappropriate in the details of my trouble-- I just figure it's easiest to just be direct. Thanks for your understanding.
