I don't know if this is good or bad?


Question Posted Tuesday June 24 2008, 3:32 pm

So the past couple days, I haven't been hungry, so I haven't been eating. Like I've had a piece of bread a day for like 3 days, and last night at like 11 I had a cookie. And when I think I'm hungry, I just get a drink and then I get wicked full, and I don't eat. I don't know if I'm sick.. because I feel fine and I don't know if this is good or bad for me. Like I've heard if you don't eat, you get fatter, and then I've heard you get skinnier. I DON'T have an eating disorder. I'm happy with my weight for the most part. So my questions are, is this good or bad for me?, will i lose/gain weight?, and am I sick?

It seems your very confused about your dieting ?
its understandable that you are not hungry so you are not eating however this is a very bad idea you have heard many rumors about what will happen if you dont eat but heres what it is.
When you eat you fill your body with energy like you fill a car with petrol if a car doesnt have petrol it will not work like the body, the body will not funtion properly without a steady diet the thing is since you havnt been eating for a while your body has got used to the fact that you are not eating, so as soon as you start eating again you weight might go up abit but you can control it by eating your main meals and not many fatty foods eat plenty of fruit and veg and try and exercise as much as you can because when your diet is back to normal you need to make sure that if you eat allot you need to exercise it off or it will turn into fat. REMEMBER - you need fat in you to keep you warm and you need sugar to keep you energised so its ok to have a bar of chocolate now and again.
hope i helped x

If it's been really hot out, it’s not too unusual for your appetite to take a nose dive.

Often people mistake being thirsty for being hungry anyways. So it's also not strange that drinking would stop your hunger.

If your appetite doesn't come back in the next day or two (I'm assuming you have no more soccer games) then I'd worry a bit, but extreme exercise, added to extreme heat make this a reasonable thing to experience. No reason to panic yet.

HOWEVER, when you get like this, don't eat bread and cookies! Eat fruit and veggies. You'll feel better and they will kick-start your stomach, rather then grains like cookies and bread, which will only slow you down even more.
