HELP, cant eat

[Inquirer]

I was sick with the flu 4 weeks ago and it lasted two weeks. I have been better for two weeks now but cant get my food intake up again. I have no appetite at all. Any idea's. I tried shoveling it in but just get sick and I tried breaking in slow but it isnt working. what gives.

Did you go to the doctor or get bloodwork done? Sounds like mono.

Sounds like you still have the aftereffects of flu. Its very common and your appetite should increase gradually as you get better.

Remember eating your veggies and upping your cardio increases the strength of your imune system.

Sugar decreases it.

Never had blood work done. Feel much better but appetite suffers still. I will give it time and try to work back up. I start off fealing hungry and after half my meal I am full and cant finish then I find I dont get hungry for hours later. I went from a 4500 cal diet to probably under 1k cal now.

Eat what you can. If you have a bad apetite right now, make sure you are making good eating choices and getting the most out of your limited meals.

Also try doing some morning cardio. That tends to make me eat like a mad man for the rest of the day.

may give that a try, I used to do morning cardio way back when and it did make me eat. thanks.

How exactly does sugar decrease the immune system?
