    And add more fruits and veggies to your diet.

    So atm the solution imo would be

    :

    No free meal until it is solved

    Remove the fruit juice and sugar cereals and honey etc

    Add more raw fruits and veggies

    And space your meals enought between them 3,5h if needed

    And see if after few days/week it’s gone

    what specific fruit and veg do you recommend

    and i’ve been having off plan meals every four days as i just came out of a deficit and have kept the frequency the same. but right now im not having any off plan meals until further notice until i can figure out this issue as it’s very frustrating and effecting everything in my life to be honest.

    That’s a hard one because essentially for these feelings to go, you likely just need to do it more often so eventually it just becomes normal, it is extreme to be passing out but is like hilly said not unheard of, so I guess my next question would be, are you doing this shortly after a meal already & are you well hydrated.. then also were you doing this seated & in a relaxed state?

    i completely agree i know i will get better with time but typically it’s before a meal sometimes after and my water intake is always consistent and pinning at around the same time everytime. But i have thought about doing it seated though thats a good idea to just further be able to calm myself

    The nervousness is quite common but especially in the earlier stages of use however the passing out is pretty extreme but not unheard of so you need to be very careful here.

    what length of needle are you using ?

    i’m using a quarter inch (0.635 cm)

    July 3, 2026 at 3:29 pm in reply to: tips on keeping up appetite in an off season

    Hey Luke, on days where your food is at baseline how do you find the nausea? Also when you’re having these refeeds what meals are you having? Is it the same food as baseline but just higher carb?

    i just get food where ever to be honest just like a complete off plan meal but at baseline i feel fine right now.

    Time to get lean and re set 🙂 when appetite is gone mostly your shot

    If you can’t digest food you won’t get much out of it

    Diet then work back up without over eating and protect appetite

    Fully agree with Kuba here, sounds to me like you just need a 4-6 week diet phase to clean up and come back down and then build back up.

    Out of interest was all fine pre xmas? did you eat much off plan stuff over the xmas period?[/quote]
    no i ate all on plan other than a regular refeed but like i said i cut down for about a month to get hunger back up then after add food the same issue occurred

    What is your current body composition? Are you checking your blood sugar? Have you changed any supplements recently? Do you do any cardio?

    i haven’t changed any supplements but no i do not check my blood sugar and for my steps i get 10k a day give or take and three structured sessions a week and im still pretty lean

    The first thing I would focus on here is what is causing digestion to be bad. Much like Kam said, if your digestion is bad , then it will have an impact on appetite. Are you eating the same food every day? What are you macros set like? Is protein too high? Are fats too high? Are you eating enough fibre? Really assess the current dietary situation and focus on getting your digestion better, this will make a huge difference.

    i’m honestly not sure the macros on my plan but yes i’m eating the same thing everyday besides on my rest days i have a different meal to replace my regular post workout meal obviously im thinking of eliminating everything except very simple stuff and slowly adding stuff back in so i can find the root cause

    Hi Luke, 4 meals a day should give you plenty of time between meals, so this is odd.

    Do you have any particular food groups tht disagree with you?

    Are you able to do any of your steps immediately after eating?

    Do you use any digestive enzymes?

    Are you struggling with signs of poor digestion/gastric distress?

    i’m currently not using any digestive enzymes what brand and dosing do you suggest and on some meals when i’m able i get steps in i could be better about doing it in between every meal though but im really not sure what specific foods are maybe causing this and for my digestion i can just feel the food still in my stomach which is causing my hunger to lower significantly even after a while inbetween meals

    Just chiming in here. When is the last time you took a deload? How has recovery been? Are you still progressing movements in the gym or not so much?

    my progress hasn’t been as good because of this digestion issue and i took a deload a couple of weeks ago

    How long have you been in a surplus for? How many meals are you eating a day and are you spacing them out evenly?

    What is your daily expenditure like from steps and even cardio?

    i lowered food a little bit ago like maybe a little over a month ago and i went down in weight for a few weeks to try to get hunger back up but im eating 4 meals a day and i space them 2-4 hours apart and most days im getting over 10k steps

    December 23, 2025 at 2:19 pm in reply to: diet

    Are you in a bulk phase, if so are you force feeding food? Aside from the what has been asked already from Clare as to whether you are stressed, then I would be inclined to think you are getting unwell like what Hilly has said, but I am no doctor but if it persists worthwhile getting checked

    but not even that i’m not hungry most of the time im just force feeding through the nausea
