NO APPETITE??

[getbig27]

ok my friend is dead tired, in and out of the gym. his appetite is pretty much gone. he said if he woke up in the morning and didnt eat within a half hour he would start to feel like crap from the hunger pangs. now, he can get up and go all day with no hunger pains, or anything. just no appetite. i told him he could be very overtrained. this has been going on for a week with him. told him to take off this upcoming week from the gym. get lots of rest. does anyone here think it might be something else? any suggestions for him to get back to normal?

sounds like he is overtrained...I would take at least a week off...it sucks to do mentally, but your body will love you for it.

tell him to eat what ever he craves for those days...get his mental status back into eating.

Periactin tabs & B12 injs help tremendously for boosting appetite.

Sounds overtrained but if I have a lot of mental stress going in my life, it has the same effect.

Have him go to a doc and say he is having sinus problems. Then he can tell the doc he was once prescribe periactin and although it made him drowsy, it worked.

Try running just even a little bit can increase appetite.

has he recently gained or added additional size, sometimes ( i think ) the body just wants a break from growing and one way it slows down the process is the brain sends the message "stop feeding me i need to catch up to better support the added tissue/weight" yet another one of my theories i come up with will taking a crap. maybe i'm stupid maybe it has some validity. here are a few more options..................

1. smoke some weed
2. drink your calories
3. take a week off, overtrained
4. morning cardio
5. go take a crap and think of your own theory

Bump this, Synthetek's Synthelamin, excellent product for an appetite stimulant.

lol, just kiddin about the weed, though i have known guys that swear by it, never liked it myself. seriously though you would be suprised how much morning cardio on an empty stomach can stimulate appetite. doggcrapp wrote an article on it somewhat along those line on using cardio to help guys gain weight, stimulate appetite.

Get a blood test bro ....it will be worth it ......Massive G knows a place online that can do it cheap for you ......When the liver is stressed the appetite will dissapear ......check it out my friend ......good luck!!!

 

[BiggerStronger]

Like Iabadman said I was going to mention possible liver distress. Get a blood test to get the facts on what is actually going on rather than our guesses. It could be something serious or it could be something insignificant. Better to know for certain, ya know?

Get the liver checked.

Periactin will make him drowsy for 2 weeks. Screw that.
