What Causes Loss Of Appetite?
I train with a personal trainer three times a week; recently I have had a complete loss of appetite (solid food actually makes me want to gag) even for foods I really love with tons of carbs but my weight is staying steady and not dropping. I don t mind the protein shakes/smooties or even the greek yogurt I eat, I just don t really want food food. Any thoughts?

Hi.
This is not uncommon condition in many persons where aversion to food is seen. Anorexia can be treed in allopathy by cyproheptadin type of drugs but this induces false appetite. Mild side effects are also there.
As per Ayurveda this is called ARUCHI means where there is no interest to take food. Agnideepak (those causing flaring up of appetite) herbs and minerals are the answer to it. No side effects. These cause enzymes to secrete normally and that corrects the whole digestive cycle including thoughts regarding food.
If I were your physician I would recommend you to see some Ayurveda physician and would advise you to take Buttermilk with roasted cumin seeds powder, black pepper powder and rock salt etc. There are classical herbomineral such as chitrakadi Vati (Plumbago) and Pipplyasav (long pepper preparation) and Kumaryasav etc (aloe vera preparation since 5000 years). Dose to be decided as per latest strength of disease and patient
Hope this gives you enough thoghts on your query and you may decide to eradicate anorexia.
May I be of more help please.
