Depression is a VERY good possibility to what wrecked your appetite.
Sometimes an over stressed liver will do that as well,,but doesnt sound like the case here.

I did some research and its quite sad that there are thousands of weight loss products but only a few weight gain helpers.

Try taking weigh protein when your not hungry.

Bro- just eat.

I can guarantee that many of us here hate to eat. I am not hungry every 2-3 hours, but I force myself to eat. If you wait until you are hungry, then it is too late (imo). I am sure that some people here hate eating tuna, brown rice and raw broccoli. But bro you just have to do it, even if it makes you feel like shit

^^^agreed... If you have lost 20lbs in 2 months, then you need to make yourself eat. And like bigkuntry said... We all get to a point where the last meal is still making you fell fine, but that doesn't mean that hunger isn't around the corner, and when it hits the belly, you have started eating yourself not the food/gas for you fire. There aren't many drugs that just increase appetite so i don't know what to tell you? I just know that i eat even if its uncomfortable to eat.

Good luck,

insulin would fix your problem, but its a little extreme. injectable B12 might help though.

Equpoise makes me eat like a maniac thats why I always have it handy. DOn't have much use for it otherwise honestly. But if drugs are not the way to go....go to the Doctor for a great physical. Im a P.A. and would order several tests for you right now. I mean I lost weight like that before but my jaw was broken. You could have a parasite. Been out of the country???
Its kills me most DOcs just rush to a diagnosis..... I'd give you my number to offer medical advice but would get in trouble here. As a medical professional I am concerned. Better safe than sorry
