So here's my story...

About 3 month ago, i went on a stupid fast (or diet, as some people call it). For about 1 week (9 days) i ate only salads (very very rich salad i make) and nothing else (besides water and juice).

After the salad phase, i went on water-only for 2 days. Due to the serious headaches whenever i'm hungry, i couldn't go beyond 2 days on water.

Now, after i resumed regular eating, i noticed the following changes...

1. my stomach shrunk (this was expected though) so i eat a lot less and i get full very easily
2. my appetite multiplied! Whether i'm hungry or not, i still feel like eating! even when i'm full... i still feel like eating. i constantly feel like putting things in my mouth and chewing... this has been going on for 2 months now!
3. my body metabolism seems to have slowed down now. i can have a proper meal and feel full for the next 6 hours! The sad part is... in those 6 hours, i would still want to eat more and more.

Seriously... help!

has anyone been in this situation or similar situation before? Or what can i do to return my appetite back to normal

Smaller stomach is fine by me... slower metabolism, i'm okay with. but supper appetite... that's a NOOOOO!!!

Seriously, help!

That's the result of crash dieting. You have to endure till your body readjusts. or you could exercise to jumpstart your metabolism.

U shouldn't have stopped ur fasting (diet) so abruptly, ur body is just trying to adjust again.. Buh u could chew gums when u feel the urge to eat; that can go to deceive ur stomach that its full.

The same way you started your craze. Continue eating the way you think it's normal. When you feel like eating again and again, resist it. With a little time, your body would adjust again.

Since u re always hungry try to eat small meals at reasonable intervals. But seriously did u involve ur Doctor or even a nutritionist b4 u started ur CRASH diet.
