appetite stimulation

[Jabberwocky]

I've been having bad issues with appetite the past couple weeks, presumably from the combination of too much exertion and too much caffeine/nicotine.

I've got a lower% 'e liquid', and have started a 'half-caffeine' coffee blend, but i'm still exhausting myself physically (and mentally, but moreso physically lol), and I still have jack-shit for appetite. I'm at the point where I aim to just have 1 incredibly dense meal daily (typically is ~1lbs of beef with random crap, veggies and rice.or.pasta, that type of dish, with a protein&creatine&milk drink and handful of pills), but it's just not enough i need to get more down, i'm probably just barely making the 2500k mark for calories and i'm sure i'd shit myself if i stepped on a scale right now.

I've been stoned several times in the past few weeks and never got 'munchies'. I've heard B vitamins can help, but i already take a multi-B pill daily so that's moot. Is it still the case that there's like zero products that can reliably increase hunger?

Thnx for any input, as of now my favorite approach is to get into smoothies, but i'd really rather keep a diet of 'real' food and not smoothies

Try spreading out your meals (ie smaller but more frequent meals). And drink less coffee if you can.

1st gen antihistamines can increase appetite, as well as nutmeg. But you'd be better off reducing stimulant use instead of using such drugs.

+1 reduce the caffeine + nicotine.

Wormwood tea can also help.

trying2lso- thnx that's what i was looking for!! unsure whether any of those will be practical but it sounds like a good starting place!

and yes, i am in the process of getting nicotine/caffeine down even lower, i mean i'm at what would be considered 'low' levels of these already, and especially low compared to what i'd consume a year ago, but i've been noticing increased sensitivity to them recently, like a coffee feels to me like a redbull felt a year ago. Think it's just getting older lol

Maybe your GI actually needs a rest, not more food. Ever consider fasting for a few days to see if things get better?

i have, and i do end up feeling better. There's definitely a problem insofar as trying to get down enough fuel, to sustain energy levels that're probably higher than my body would like. Need to get fasting (even just 'intermittent fasting') back in the routine, i know things felt better when I fasted from wake-til-sunset.
