Hello, There are several causes for reduced appetite, including constipation or slowed gastrointestinal transit, anxiety/depression disorders, smoking, medications (stimulants, antidepressants, sedatives, opioids, certain antibiotics, etc) as well as natural products, including caffeine. Here are some recommendations: Eat more frequently (at least every 3 hours) Eat meals with high energy intake (Greek yogurt, cheese, milk, meat, etc.) Consider taking meal replacements such as Boost or Ensure Good stress management If you spend 5 days eating very little or lose 5% of your body weight in 6-12 months, you should see a doctor. Also consult if you develop severe fatigue, difficulty concentrating or persistent nausea/vomiting. Ayoub Bouchama, pharmacy student Supervised by Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
