Concerned about Low Appetite


#1

I noticed I am having a very low appetite in the last few days. On Tuesday I had slight food poisoning that cleared up the next day but I’ve had quite a low appetite since then. I’ve considered forcing myself to eat. I have weight to lose, at least 33 pounds to normal BMI*. And I have lost 6 pounds so far. So is this just my body eating my fat stores? I am a nursing mother of a 7 month old and haven’t had supply issues so I’m guessing the fat stores are also fueling breast milk production?

*I know BMI doesn’t matter all that much.

I found this a while back surfing the forum:

It has talk about not eating enough, what to eat, etc.
