lost the feeling of hunger for a few years due to medication I was on and barely have much sense of taste to begin with. My nose is often stuffed rendering me barely able to taste and smell most foods. This combined with a need for a high calorie intake I cannot say that I felt any qualms with meats but eating as a chore is horrible and a most disgusting feeling, the mechanical movement and disassociation that comes with this numbness is something people will adapt to however, and can be beneficial when making choices on what to eat.

- toomanybeersies 6y agoI have periods of a few days every so often where I completely lose my appetite due to my ADHD medication. It's fascinating how something that's usually such a pleasure becomes a complete chore. I need to force myself to eat, literally stuffing food into my mouth and methodically chewing, there's no enjoyment whatsoever, no matter what I eat it feels like I'm eating sawdust. Usually when it happens I switch from eating solid food to liquid meal replacements and tinned fruit, things I can more or less just pour down my throat.
