    Why am I not hungry?

    Last summer I went on a very sucessful cutting diet and lost somewhere around 30 lbs(mostly fat). I remember I was always starving and often felt weak and fatigued but with dicipline it payed off in the end.

    I bulked over the winter for about 9 months and put on about 20 lbs(mostly muscle).

    It is now summer again and I am cutting using the same diet as I did last summer except there is one problem. I have been on the diet about 3 weeks now and I am very slowly losing the weight but I am not hungry and have plenty of energy. This is strange considering I am on a much reduced caloric diet. I figured the weight would be coming off as fast as it did last summer.

    PS. I have my diet on an excel spreadsheet to manage calculations easier but it wont let me upload the sheet. Any ideas?

    You should be able to post it...I don't know about excel, but maybe you could copy and paste into a doc file and then try again to upload.

    Sorry I don't have any other advice for you -- but maybe uploading what you have will give some of the gurus around here a better judge of what might be happening....good luck!
    All the glory to God!

    not enough EFA's....you should have a few more fish oil tabs than 1. Anywhere from 6-8 would be good.

    Fat in general is too low. You need good fats to help with nutrient absorption, insulin regulation and cell wall integrity.
