Lately my appetite has been so insane. So all over the place. I think I’m in the mood for something and go to eat it. And then I’m all of a sudden not in the mood. When I bite it.
This is specifically happening with meat. And even eggs a bit too. Mostly red meat, but even chicken. Seafood/ depending on the day I crave, but sometimes it doesn’t feel right. Cheese is good, milk no bueno.
All I know is I’m craving fruit like it’s nobody’s business. I’m dealing w iron overload and currently Dumping iron like crazy (blood work confirmed) so probably why I can’t stomach beef. I couldn’t Even cook my girlfriends beef.
My body seems to be craving hydration, potassium, calcium magnesium, etc etc .. light easy to digest foods. However a downside is I feel like I become catabolic quickly w out the protein. It’s like I’m craving the protein/amino acids /b vitamins for the benefits ik it provides, but I can’t eat those foods because of the iron? Too heavy? Certain amino acids? Idk but my mouth doesn’t want it.
I can do maybe a couple eggs, cheese, maybe seafood once a day. Im 200lbs though so I’m still real light in the protein department..or maybe I’m not for whatver my body is demanding right now.
For a while I would eat, lots of beef , eggs potatoes, like over a lb meat a day, 6+ eggs. Potatoes. It satiated me in a sense and provided good muscle hardness and amino acids, but it seemed to somewhat lower my vibration / hydration. It feels like it dries me out and ages me. Not trying to go all vegan talk but it’s really how I feel.
I ate a certain way because I believed and learned these were “healthy” and needed and to And followed strict guidelines. Now after being ****88 up for a bit, if I actually close my eyes and forget everything I ever learned or how i was supposed to eat.. and just said “what do I actually want to eat right now”? with no thinking of what macro/micro I need, what I need to “heal” etc etc.. I would just be going for mostly fruit and maybe meat like once twice a week, some seafood, cheese. The overthinking of “oh I need this food for this detox pathway. And this mineral for this enzyme pathway” blah blah lol. It’s such a stress In and of itself. I wish sometimes I knew less. Ignorance
Is bliss. Some of the healthiest ppl i know,
Don’t think about health. Ironic. We’ll they don’t overthink health. They stay stress free, laugh, eat decent food and exercise a bit. And they’re not some neurotic fool like myself.
I’m really starting to understand the need to go into each day with no preconceived idea of what I “need” to eat, and just eat what I feel like. And realize your diet needs change day to day so much potentially. Some days may be damn near all fruit, some day cheese potatoes, some days meat. Some days all 3.
I’m rambling here, but I guess what I’m inquiring about is the has anyone else experienced this drop in desire for meat and all this protein? Or had a similar experiemce of “wow I really Haven’t been listening to my body”? I can see my Body composition slightly worsening w less protein, but idc rly at all. I feel better overall. I’m not going vegan at all, not even vegetarian .. but closer to vegetarian than I’ve ever been. Is a steak 1-2 twice a week okay? Maybe oysters twice a week.
I think if I just scratch this itch and listen to my appetite and this current season of my
Life, my appetite for protein may come back.
I’m really trying to lean into listening
To my Body and not just eating what I’m “supposed to” and pre plan my meals. I’ve obviously heard people say “just listen to your body” but it’s not really something you just cultivate over night..
