Is it possible to have eaten SO much over the past few days that I don't feel hungry at all today?

Its 12.40pm now and I still don't feel hungry! I have been up since 7am this morning - has anyone else experienced this before?! Should I still eat?

Thanks!

I sometimes wake up with no appetite. I usually just drink water and then feel hungry later after evacuating or exercise or something.

Is your body "healing"? Ussually a lack of appetite is due to an ilness being released and the body wants to deal with the situation before digestion gets in the way. I personally follow my bodies intuition and only give it food when I'm hungry. As long as you don't feel too weak or tired then it's probably best to go by your bodies natural appetite...

Dear Samantha,

It seems a bit ridiculous to think that you are not hungry because you have eaten too much over the past few days. Most probably your digestive tube just needs some rest, that's why you are not hungry.

Have you been drinking enough water?

Do you feel tired or energetic?

Do you feel thirsty?

Are you feeling well or do you experience any discomfort?

My own view is that if you are not feeling hungry, you should not force food down. It may even be harmful to do that. Our digestive system needs to take a break at times. Maybe it has just decided to go on vacations and this is something you should respect. Eating is hard work. Everyone needs a break sometimes, even our stomachs.

Sending you shining rays of Light and wisdom and joy *_* (shiny eyes)

Fruity Love, Daniel <3 <3 : ) : )

Thanks Daniel! That was the only explanation I came up with when I still didn't feel like eating at noon :P

I have been drinking plenty of water and not feeling thirsty. And have been at work since 9am this morning - still full of energy and feeling quite normal!

FYI - I have just started eating HCRV since last week, maybe my body is healing :D

You are very lucky, Samantha, to be healing so quickly and asymptomatically.

You are truly a blessed being! Continue to shine and illuminate us!

There is no better thing for your health than to fast when your body asks for it.

P.S. How are you feeling now? Has your hunger returned or you still don't feel compelled to eat?

Be sure to sleep as much as you can at night and to keep your stress levels low: breath in deeply, calm down, relax your muscles, maintain emotional poise.

♥♥♥Love♥♥♥

Daniel

There are two scenarios you need to watch out for -

1 - that your hunger signals are changing (hunger feels different on SAD than on any raw diet!) and you aren't recognizing them

2 - that this is all going to catch up with you & end with a non-hcrv binge

I hope these are both wrong, but if either happens - don't sweat it. It's all about learning. :-) Start again the next day.

Just don't experiment to see how long you can go un-hungry - maybe eat if you feel even slightly like it, to prevent ravenous slip-ups to cooked/junk later.

Thanks Kate! I hv been living in HK for most of my life so luckily I was never into fast food n i never crave junk :D my biggest problem is my boss - whom i travel with every month/other month ish. He is the most annoying person I have met in my life! anti-health - 2 packs of cigs a day and at least 2 bottles of alcohol, whats worse, he gets angry if i don't drink or eat as unhealthy as him :(
