Loss of appetite can be the result of many factors. If you have ruled out serious illness as a cause, you can take some simple steps to restore your appetite.
Steps
- Exercise. It does not have to be a formal workout, or even high intensity.
- Look at cookbooks, health magazines, or cooking websites. Simply observing pictures of food can stimulate your appetite and physically prepare your body to eat.
- Try new foods, or make old favorites more interesting by adding to the recipe. You might also want to try some exotic healthy foods, or try foraging for wild foods.
- Eat food you enjoy. Of course, it should also be healthy, but you want to choose foods that you find enjoyable.
- Experience your food. Take time to savor the smells, tastes, and textures as you eat.
- Plan your meals. Anticipation of good food can increase your appetite.
- Have a very small snack, such as a handful of berries or a spoonful of yoghurt, before your meal. If you have gone too long without food, you will tend to "tune out your hunger and actually reduce your appetite.
