text: how can i increase my appetite(for food)without using vitamins??   are you getting enough rest?  are you doing things that stress you out?  are you ill?  all of these things will affect your appetite, too.    get a balanced lifestyle with rest, lots of exercise and some relaxation to balance the stress.  you may need to see a doctor or a therapist if it lasts longer.  also, browse through cook books, cooking magazines, etc. and make stuff that looks yummy.  and sometimes the appetite needs to be jump-started -- you won't feel hungry until you have a little appetizer.  then you start to feel hungry again.  high-calorie appetizers could include: nuts, cheese and crackers, olives.  low-calorie ones would be carrot sticks, cucumber sticks, pickles, a little sliced-up fruit.    hope that helps. (-: i'm hungry just thinking about it.
