Appetite bumps

Anyone notice a sudden increase in appetite while gaining? Like one day you can barely finish a Big Mac, fries and a shake and then a few days later it's not enough?

Some people report these bumps when they hit a "magic" number---200 lbs, 100kg, 300lbs, something like that.

Others report appetite bumps happening in conjunction with decisions about their weight. For example, the decision to gain on purpose (perhaps following an unintentional gain), the decision to gain more than you planned, the decision to go back to gaining after losing or trying to lose.

Have any of these appetite bumps happened to you?

If so:

Of which sort were they? Magic number, decision related, something else?

Did you realize they were occurring right away or only in retrospect?

Were the bumps temporary or permanent changes in your appetite/capacity?

Did you enjoy your new-found ability?

Just saw "Tim's Vermeer" which you should see if you like Vermeer or if you're a geeky inventor type.

If both apply, it's a MUST see!

I want to say that by definition a feedee is drivin by 6. The rest would be secondary, or in the "foodie" realm.


Point taken. However, I'd say you're at least partly a feedee if 6 or 5 is on your list at all.

Can coumadin make you fatter

You're so focused on the potential side effect that you're missing what the drug is for and what the unnecessary use of anticoagulants can do to your body. Frequent blood testing is needed to ensure that someone's taking a safe dose, as too high of one- or improper use of the drug- can result in nasty things like coughing up blood, bleeding in the nose or gums, or blood in urine or stool.

Even for what it's supposed to treat, the benefits have to outweigh those side effects in order for it to be considered as a therapeutic measure because those side effects are dangerous.

Stealth eating...

Sometimes I go to a friend's for dinner and look at what is put on the table for a group and think "I could eat all of that myself". Fun fantasy, not very nice for a guest though. smiley


True! I'm very pro-gluttony but have to admit there are times it's inappropriate!

Stealth eating...

For those of you who have gained and gotten greedier appetites, do you ever hide how much you eat from friends or family?

If so, how?

1. Have an extra "stealth" meal before dining with them so you don't overeat in front of them.

2. Had a make-up meal AFTER dining with them, to make up for holding back.

3. Hide snacks in your bedroom, office, car, or other places.

Anything else?
