Back in Spring, 2008 I, for some reason, lost interest in food and started eating almost nothing. I remember recounting a few days and was taking in bout 300-600 calories a day, but wasn't exercising at all. I lost from 382 pounds to 317 pounds in about eight weeks. Then, all the sudden I started eating again and in about a year I had gained it all back and then some. Now I'm a good click beyond that. Has anyone here ever experience that? Does anyone have any idea what in the world it was?
I'm glad you got the appetite back as loss of appetite can result from some pretty nasty conditions and diseases. Anyway, two not-as-serious ones are hypothyroidism and certain medications.
I don't know. I had just lost my job, but really wanted to quit anyhow. I was living with my parents to help care for my mother, so paying bills and providing gorceries weren't stressing me out. I didn't experience any kind of major life change or upset. I just stopped eating one day, at almost nothing for about six weeks, then started eating again. It was pretty crazy.
