This could be caused by many different reasons. If you are anxious/despressed, your appetite may decrease. This could happen too if you are recovering from an eating disorder. Or perhaps this could be from another underlying health condition, so is important to make an appointment soon with your doctor about this.

This can happen from losing weight and your stomach can not hold as much food anymore. A lot of the time if you have high anxiety your brain will consciously forget about eating and make food seem unappealing.

Appetite really depends on your body functions. If you are a person who takes medications then lost of appetite can be caused by the side effects of that medication. If you gain weight faster than you used to then you will loss appetite as well.

If you have been eating less your stomach gets used to it and it gets smaller so when you try to eat more food it is harder. Also if you have been excercizing less then you burn less of the calories from the food and as a result are usually less hungry.

If you once started to eat less your stomach started to shrink, you cam build up to eat more by adding small porportions! I hope this answer helped you.

Do you feel a loss of appetite? That sounds like a medical problem that needs to be checked out ! Also if it's more like you don't want to eat because you have feelings associated with food or think that you are fat (perceive your body that way) and that's why you don't want to eat.. then that hints at an eating disorder in it's nascent stages. It would be best to get medical attention ASAP.

It's most likely that your metabolism as well as the amount of physical activity you participate in have changed.

Maybe you are in a stressful time period of your life. If you are starving yourself this is not healthy. Talk to some body right away and tell them how you are feeling. If you are truly not hungry then talk to your doctor about what is going on.
