What are people's experiences with eating while enjoying the psychedelic mindstate? I have always been a little disappointed with my inability to enjoy food whilest tripping. Does anyone have any experience with substances that do not have this effect?
 
I remember cooking an omelette on the tail-end of a 2C-I trip a little while ago - I'm not sure if I undercooked it but it was one of the foulest things I've ever eaten. The sliminess of the egg plus the gloopiness of the melted cheese were not what my brain or stomach wanted after 5 hours of heavy tripping. Not recommended.

I'd be surprised if there were any psychedelics that actually increased appetite/appreciation of food but I'd be interested to hear. Normally I wait till I'm completely sober, then go and get burger and coke to get some energy back.
 
I can almost never eat while full-on tripping, but I like fruit and nuts well after the peak has gone as they seem to be the easiest thing for me to keep down. On one of my last trips a friend made us all protein shakes blended with frozen fruit and it was just perfect. In fact I'm going to keep that concoction in mind for my next trip (whenever that is), as it was a good balance between being healthy and not disgusting texture-wise. :D

Off the top of my head, LSD, 3-MeO-PCP and 4-AcO-DMT all give me mad munchies - cravings for grease-laden food in particular but most munch tastes amazing. The 2Cs don't really go so well with food but other than that quite a few psyches have the nomalicious effect on me. Most psyches make me hungry and horny - and appreciation of both is greatly increased if/when satiated =D
 
Post-psychedelic appetite is a known phenomenon to me :)

But usually I don't feel like eating during the plateau.
 
I'll eat a yogurt or some fruit before I dose. Maybe a cup of tea and some toast while im coming up and peaking. Then after i start to come down a bit i'll usually fix myself up something nice to eat in the kitchen. Maybe some type of pasta or a grilled cheese and some soup. Psychedelics dont really effect my appetite much at all in lower / average doses. But if I'm tripping really hard sometimes I'll forget what food is for a good amount of time and be amazed when I finally come to realize whats been causing that rumbling in my belly.

It's time to eat :D<3

My feelings exactly.
Past the peak though i love to eat.
And like you, smoothies with frozen fruit, some yogurt and some protein powder are usually really delicious for post trip munchies.
 
I usually can't eat anything major, so I just stick to things like peanuts or fruits.

Last time on 2c-i, I ordered pizza. Usually I enjoy it (obviously), but for some reason it just disgusted me so much. For no specific reason at all. Just thinking about stuffing a slice in my mouth right now makes me sick!
 
Depends on what your eating. Low quality food (like fast food) is disgusting while tripping but fruit (pineapple!) is delicious.
 
I had a Hearty Bowl from Jack in the Box my 2nd time frying on LSD, and I never had one before. Let me tell you, it was amazing! It was as if my senses were amplified, I could taste all of the ingredients in it.

I get huge munchies pretty much as soon as the peak effects are ending. As soon as I come back from that psychedelic peak my body wants sustenance.

It doesn't matter what drug it is, they all do that; even stimulants. I eat a couple hours before a trip because I have a high metabolism and I eat frequent meals throughout the day. If I don't eat before a trip, my blood sugar level will be low, I will be hungry and the trip will suck and be kind of painful.

Say I dose LSD about an hour or two after having a light-ish meal; I'll get mad munchies by the 5th hour. At which time I will go for easy, tasty foods; (crackers and cheese, tortillas and salsa, fruit, etc. :))
 
I seem to be the freak here. Junk food dripping with grease ftw on psyches. Fruit, veg, nuts, mung beans, lentils and other "good" foodstuffs just leave me cold when I'm tripping.

You're not the only one who gets random cravings for greasy food while tripping;)
Oranges are good too though.
 
Before taking any psychedelic, I try to avoid eating for at least a couple hours. My normal scheduling is something along the lines of: moderate meal a couple hours before bed the night before, wake up and have a drink or two and maybe a handful of peanuts or something to get my metabolism going, shower and finish waking up, then dose around an hour or two after first waking up. Even when I haven't eaten in ages I find it hard to muster an appetite upon first waking, so I find this schedule makes it easy not to be hungry until hours later when I can eat on just about any psych.

How soon I'm willing to eat and what I think I can stomach varies from trip to trip and substance to substance. LSD comes to mind as having little to no body load; I can eat pretty normally once I've waited a couple hours to avoid slowing the onset.

The more of a body load a substance produces for me, the less inclined I am to eat. Any drug known for causing nausea is one I avoid combining with food. When I used to shroom semi-regularly I would pretty much never eat until well into the come down. On 2C-I, I usually subsist on smoothies and other drinks until the come down as well. While I don't get nauseous on 2C-I and the body 'load' generally combines with the euphoria into a pleasant sensation, I still get the distinct feeling that eating anything too substantial would not feel as good as leaving my stomach empty.

All that said... When I'm hungry and tripping, spend a while worrying about whether eating is a good idea and then finally do eat and don't experience any nausea or increase in negative body load, it's a truly rapturous event.
 
Meat generally grosses me out while im tripping unless im quite hungry and just need protien, otherwise i normally grab for fruits or sweet things but generally my appitite is gone and i ride off the energy of whatever ive ingested
 
Fresh fruit fwt! I rarely crave food while tripping. And afterwards, fresh fruit is perfect. Nothing else will suffice for me. Tripping definitely nudges me toward healthy eating habits in the aftermath. Cooked, processed food tastes like garbage to me, and fresh fruits and vegetables taste and feel and smell oh so wonderful.
 
I usually don't eat much on trip days until after the trip is over. I drink a lot of fruit juice and eat a few raw fruits and vegetables so I have some energy. A few times I've prepared food while tripping (peppers and tomatoes look alien on the inside). The most important thing about food for me is that my food is processed as little as possible before it gets to me, so in the event that I'm actually hungry while tripping, I can generally eat anything I can make myself.

5-MeO-MiPT gives me stronger munchies than weed does, but on 4-AcO-DMT (and also mushrooms), I'm usually only hungry after the peak. 2C-E didn't make me hungry.
