Appetite

[Espaim]

So I've been struggling with this for a long time already

It's hard to eat anything. It's hard to eat junk food and healthy food.

I go on days without getting enough calories. I probably get under 1500. This is an estimative though. I don't have any self-image problems like anorexia. I just want to be able to eat. It's like I think of food and it's not appealing.

This causes problems for me like low energy and it's hard to exercise because it seems like my fuel reserves are low

I don't take any stimulants or even caffeine.

Any help?

Second question: if to go to a doctor, should I talk to a gp or dietitian?

I would first question the paradigm that food = calories = energy. In my experience with fasting, it is not that simple at all.

If you're feeling low energy, I would consider a couple things:

1) What is the quality of food you're eating? If the food you're eating is junk, you can forget about that giving you energy.

2) Do you practice breathing exercises?

3) Do you spend time in nature?

All energy is ultimately Source energy. So if you've got low energy, there's a blockage somewhere in your system. Yoga might help you a lot with this.

It varies. On the weekdays I eat mostly clean. On the weekends I eat pretty shitty tbh. But I feel bad almost every day.

No. What do you suggest?

It's not allowed in my country atm but when I can I certainly make some heavy effort.

 

So I've done some research and I'm thinking that maybe I am Lactose Intolerant. Going to test this on Wednesday.

You really don´t have appetite after an 1 hour of exercise really?
